EXCLUSIVE: Xiaomi Customer Support Script Leaked!
Agent: "Thank you for calling Xiaomi Support, where our hardware is 2026 and our software is... still loading. How can I help you today?"
Customer: "My Flagship Xiaomi 15T Pro launcher crashes every time I go back to the homescreen or open the recents section !"
Agent: "Ah, I see. Itβs not a crash, sir/madam. Itβs a 'System-Enforced Digital Detox.'
Customer: "It feels like I spent $900 on a brick. Fix it!"
Agent: "I have excellent news! Our engineers have successfully identified the root cause. It turns out the 'Home' button was actually trying to go home... to our headquarters in Beijing. Itβs very sentimental software."
Customer: "Okay, so send me an update! Fix it now!"
Agent: "Oh, we canβt do that. That would be too simple. To fix a crashing icon, we must first rewrite the laws of physics and the entire kernel architecture. We call this a 'Deep System Adjustment.' Itβs like changing a lightbulb, but first, we have to rebuild the entire house around the bulb."
Customer: "When is the update coming?!"
Agent: "Please mark your calendar for the release of HyperOS 4 Update. It is scheduled to drop in 2026 after Google release Android 17 in June and then it will take another 3 months for HyperOS 4 to release. Maybe 2027 if our engineers find a new wallpaper they like better."
Customer: "I have to wait for 9 MONTHS to use my phone properly?!"
Agent: "Think of it as a long-term relationship. Most brands give you a working phone immediatelyβthatβs boring. Xiaomi gives you a journey. For the next 12 months, your phone is a puzzle. Can you click 'Settings' before the launcher dies?
Customer: (Hangs up)
Agent: (To supervisor) "Another satisfied customer. Put him down as 'Excited for Hyper OS4'."

The developer of an app, whose selling point is end-to-end encryption which would make it more difficult for UK security and intelligence agencies to monitor communications. It is a reasonable assumption that this would be in the interests of a foreign state even though the foreign state has never contemplated this potential advantage

OnePlus becomes the world's first major brand to remove telephoto sensor and bring back 8MP ultrawide camera on 600$ smartphones
OnePlus has launched 15R in India and unlike the 13R which has a 50MP 2X Telephoto sensor, OnePlus has completely removed it. Yes, the 15R sucks the same in camera like the flagship OnePlus 15, when compared to the 13R and 13. Also, USB-C 2.0 still remains the same.
Apart from the camera, the display is also downgraded to cope with 165Hz refresh rate. While the 13R comes with superior BOE X1 8T LTPO AMOLED offering 1~120hz variable refresh rate, the successor 15R features a LTPS Tianma panel & offers just 5 fixed refresh steps β 60/ 90/ 120Hz/ 144Hz/ 165Hz.
OnePlus 15R is the rebranded OnePlus Ace 6T of China. While the Ace 6T in China which was launched just 2 weeks ago comes in the 16GB RAM variant, OnePlus has launched the 15R in only 12GB RAM because the RAM shortages only happen globally and in India for OnePlus. Apart from the RAM, the battery is also downgraded when compared to its Chinese counterpart.
Ace 6T: 8300mAh Si/C battery
15R: 7400mAh battery
In theory, Ace 6T can offer extra 2hrs battery while costing just 370$ for 12GB + 256GB model which the OnePlus sells in India for Rs. 47,999 (~530$).

After the feedback, Github notes that :
1. Weβre postponing the announced billing change for self-hosted GitHub Actions to take time to re-evaluate our approach.
2. We are continuing to reduce hosted-runners prices by up to 39% on January 1, 2026.

We have real costs in running the Actions control plane. We are also making investments into self-hosted runners so they work at scale in customer environments, particularly for complex enterprise scenarios. While this context matters, we missed the mark with this change by not including more of you in our planning.

OnePlus practically has a new phone launch every other month next year like Xiaomi dumps on Earth.
Apparently, OnePlus will launch a phone with Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 "Pro" after already launching phones with Snapdragon 8 Elite aka Ace 6, Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 aka 15R or Ace 6T and 8 Elite Gen 5 aka OnePlus 15.
Also, similar to Xiaomi in how they copied Apple for the "Pro Max", OnePlus will also debut a phone with "Pro Max" naming scheme
The OnePlus 15 series is already heavily downgraded in both cameras and display while getting more expensive and now we have many more useless phones coming from them.

BREAKING: The OnePlus 15R display is so trash that it has flickering issues
None of the paid Youtubers and reviewers will tell you this that the OnePlus 15R aka Ace 6 with only a different processor features a Tianma panel LTPS display and offers 165Hz refresh rate.
But it looks like OnePlus simply overclocked the display to cope with 165Hz refresh rate as the display flickers really badly which can severely damage your eyes if you try to use it at night in the dark environment and at low brightness.
