Xiaomi suspends the rolling out of any UI upgrades for the Holidays
The mobile device manufacturers Xiaomi seems to have a lot on their plate, as users all over the world are geared for the release of the MIUI 12. MIUI is the Android-based operating system made specifically for Xiaomi devices, and it has a commendable user interface. With many high-end devices of great quality attributed to the Chinese brand, as well as many more expected to be launched soon, it's clear why the company is one of the big guns among Android device makers. Users were therefore disappointed when the news was that the company was ceasing the development of any new MIUI upgrades for its devices.
The development has been revealed to be a temporary one, as the company has cited the reason for the pause to be a holiday break. Everyone needs a vacation, even the employees at one of the top mobile device manufacturers. In China, where their headquarters are located, the Chinese Dragon Boat Festival is slated for 25 June, so the company has taken the decision to suspend work from 26 June to 3 July. That is basically a one-week break, after which they are expected to continue work so as to roll out the MIUI 12 for their devices before the deadline runs out.
This new version includes some improvements focused on user privacy, as well as an improved dark mode for apps, a minimalist user interface, and new wallpapers. It also grants the app greater access in the permission section; even to the extent, that Android does not reach it.
In other news, Poco, the brand which became somewhat independent from Xiaomi under some conditions seems set to release a phone that is independent of Xiaomi or Redmi modeling or design. The first two Poco phones released after the 'independence', THE X2 Pro and F2 Pro, had characteristic Redmi looks. Apparently, they are now ready to break the barrier and create phones of their personal unique design and model, according to the head of the brand, Chandolu Manmohan.
Poco is a brand based in Indian markets, and they seek to produce flagship devices that can compete with popular brands like Samsung and OnePlus in the markets. Chandolu stated that a new smartphone will be released in India, next month perhaps, and the device will be exclusive to Indian markets. It is unclear whether subsequent models will all be unique designs or this is just a one-time arrangement. Insider information, as well as experts' comments, confirm that the phone is called the Poco M2 Pro, running on the Snapdragon 720G processor; now that's awesome.
Then, it appears that the specifications of the phone bring the Redmi Note Pro 9 to mind, or that is what speculation says. The known fact is that users in Indian markets are definitely itching to get their hands on the phone, and that could be happening soon. Poco has also been said to be working on new wireless headphones, Buds Pop. It appears this is the current trend as some other mobile device makers, including Xiaomi, are producing these wireless headphones.
