Xiaomi begins MIUI 11 development, says it will be new and unique

<img alt="" src="https://images.fonearena.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/MIUI-11-1024x773.jpg" /> Xiaomi introduced MIUI 10 at its Mi 8 launch event back in May last year in China. Yesterday, at its Annual Meeting for MIUI division to discuss the past year and future development, the company said that it has started the development of MIUI 11. This was confirmed by Liu Ming, head of the product planning department. At the event he said that the MIUI 11 will be a 'new and unique OS'. MIUI 10 brought full-screen hand gestures and improved recent menu to take advantage of the full-screen bezel-less displays. MIUI 10 started rolling out back in June last year and is available for all the eligible devices, as promised at the announcement. Revealing the Q3 2018 earnings in November Xiaomi said that monthly active users of MIUI increased 43.4% from 156.5 million in September 2017 to 224.4 million in September 2018. As confirmed earlier, MIUI 11 will not be available for some older devices  like Mi 5 and Redmi Note 3 Pro since Xiaomi has stopped the development for these after MIUI 10. Since the development of MIUI 11 is still in early stages, new features and design changes are still in concept stage, so we will only know when the company decides to reveal some details ... <div class="feedflare"><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?a=47kYEiJkagk:vC0jpOds2OA:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?a=47kYEiJkagk:vC0jpOds2OA:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?i=47kYEiJkagk:vC0jpOds2OA:V_sGLiPBpWU" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?a=47kYEiJkagk:vC0jpOds2OA:D7DqB2pKExk"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?i=47kYEiJkagk:vC0jpOds2OA:D7DqB2pKExk" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?a=47kYEiJkagk:vC0jpOds2OA:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" /></a></div> <img alt="" height="1" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/fone-arena/~4/47kYEiJkagk" width="1" /><br /> <a href="https://www.fonearena.com/blog/272796/xiaomi-miui-11-development-begins.html">Read Here»</a>

8K TV Has Arrived. Here’s What You Need to Know

<p><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-397450" height="300" src="https://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/8k_lede.png" width="650" /></p> <p>We’ve barely started the <a href="https://www.howtogeek.com/206662/should-you-get-an-ultra-hd-4k-tv/">switch to 4K</a>, and now 8K TVs are already on the market. Are they worth it? Should you care? Here’s everything you need to know.</p> <h2>What Is 8k? How Does It Compare to 4K and HD?</h2> <p><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-397442" height="367" src="https://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/resolutions.jpg" width="650" /></p> <p>You might think that an 8K TV is double the resolution of a 4K TV, but because of the complicated method for measuring resolution, this isn’t true. The term 8K refers to the horizontal resolution of the TV—that is, how many pixels run across the display left to right. 8K TVs have twice as many horizontal pixels, but they have four times as many total pixels as 4K—and 16 times more than 1080p—when you look at the entire surface area. It’s a lot of pixels.</p> <p>The different terms can be confusing:</p> <ul> <li>A 720p TV (or HD) is measured at 1280 pixels wide by 720 pixels tall.</li> <li>A 1080p TV (a.k.a. Full HD or FHD) is measured at 1920×1080 pixels.</li> <li>A 4K TV (a.k.a Ultra HD or UHD) is measured at 3840×2160 pixels.</li> <li>An 8K TV is measured at 7680×4320 pixels.</li> </ul> <p>One thing that’s easy to spot with these resolutions is that after 720p with each new standard, both the horizontal and vertical pixels doubles. It’s this doubling in both directions that lead to such a vast jump in overall pixel count. 8K TVs are just packed full of pixels.</p> <h2>Should I Buy an 8K TV?</h2> <p><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-397451" height="343" src="https://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/8k_1.png" width="650" /></p> <p>Short answer: No.</p> <p>4K TVs are finally starting to take hold and come down to <a href="https://www.reviewgeek.com/863/whatever-tv-you-buy-next-make-it-a-4k-one/">affordable pricing</a>.

Apple said to be planning three iPhones for 2019, including high-end model with triple-rear cameras

<img alt="" src="https://images.fonearena.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Apple-iPhone-XS-Max_fonearena-10-1024x584.jpg" /> Apple is apparently planning on launching three new iPhones for 2019 and this will include a high-end model with triple rear cameras in a move to compete with Android counterparts. The company will also introduce a successor to the iPhone XR with an LCD display, alongside two other handsets.  The renders of the new 2019 iPhone with triple rear camera surfaced on the internet last-week indicating that Apple is seriously looking into the idea. However, it is not clear what the extra-camera on the rear will enable on the iPhone. Rumors have emerged that Sony is boosting its 3D camera output for chips that will power rear-facing 3D cameras on smartphones in 2019. Additionally, Apple is reportedly considering OLED-only for its 2020 iPhone models, completely leaving LCD, according to the WSJ report. However, such a move would increase the overall selling price of Apple's iPhones next-year and this would only raise more concern about sales. Apple warned it could miss $9 billion in iPhone sales in the recent quarter due to weaker demand.

OPPO joins Wireless Power Consortium, future phones could support Qi wireless charging

<img alt="" src="https://images.fonearena.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/OPPO-F9_fonearena-12-1024x695.jpg" /> The Wireless Power Consortium is a group of companies for developing and promoting the Qi wireless charging standard. OPPO has now joined the organization, indicating that future Oppo and OnePlus phones will have Qi wireless charging. OPPO is now listed on the WPC's member list, however, it is not clear when they joined. Joining the consortium is a requirement for creating devices that use Qi wireless charging, none of OPPO's current or past phones have Qi support. The company filed a patent last year for a 15W wireless charging technology, but that hasn't appeared in any products so far. Apart from OPPO, OnePlus is another company that never included wireless charging. Since OPPO and OnePlus operate under the same parent company and frequently share technology and resources with each other, it is possible that future OnePlus and OPPO products could come with wireless charging. We'll just have to wait and see.

Apple considered Samsung, MediaTek 5G modems for 2019 iPhones

<img alt="" src="https://images.fonearena.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Apple-e1512024144413.jpg" /> Apple said to have held talks with Samsung Electronics and MediaTek Inc. along with existing vendor Intel Corp to supply 5G modem chips for 2019 iPhones, according to an Apple executive’s testimony at a trial between Qualcomm Inc and the U.S. Federal Trade Commission.  Apple, between 2011 and 2016, relied on Qualcomm as the sole supplier of chips which helped iPhones connect to wireless networks. However, in 2016 the company split its business Intel and Qualcomm, and in 2018, it completely moved to Intel for its newest iPhones. Apple supply chain executive Tony Blevins testified to the court that Apple has also considered MediaTek and Samsung to supply the chips for 5G. The FTC is suing Qualcomm alleging the company engaged in anti-competitive patent licensing practices to preserve a dominant position in the premium modem chip market. On the stand at a federal courthouse in San Jose, California, Blevins testified that Apple has long sought multiple suppliers for modem chips but signed an agreement with Qualcomm to exclusively supply the chips as the chip supplier offered deep rebates on patent license costs in exchange for exclusivity. The company in 2013 has stopped its work with Intel to start supplying modems for iPad Mini 2 ... <div class="feedflare"><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?a=boBCraHY-Zo:p-0nfR9aSDw:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?a=boBCraHY-Zo:p-0nfR9aSDw:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?i=boBCraHY-Zo:p-0nfR9aSDw:V_sGLiPBpWU" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?a=boBCraHY-Zo:p-0nfR9aSDw:D7DqB2pKExk"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?i=boBCraHY-Zo:p-0nfR9aSDw:D7DqB2pKExk" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?a=boBCraHY-Zo:p-0nfR9aSDw:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" /></a></div> <img alt="" height="1" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/fone-arena/~4/boBCraHY-Zo" width="1" /><br /> <a href="https://www.fonearena.com/blog/272778/apple-iphone-samsung-mediatek-5g-modem.html">Read Here»</a>

Google officially discontinues Chromecast Audio

<img alt="" src="https://images.fonearena.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Google-Chromecast-audio_fonearena-003-1024x731.jpg" /> Google for a while now has stopped making its Chromecast Audio streaming adapter and going forward, it will instead focus on smart speakers. The company's spokesperson has confirmed that Chromecast Audio is being discontinued.  Google's Chromecast Audio is introduced to bring music streaming to existing stereo systems and speakers with line-in connectivity in 2015. It worked very much like the regular Chromecast, but didn't offer an HDMI port, and only worked with audio apps. The company in 2016 introduced the original Google Home speaker, a cheaper Home Mini later, and a better-sounding Google Home Max, and recently, it launched smart display devices like the Google Home Hub. The decision to discontinue Chromecast Audio isn't a surprise and is not something completely unexpected: The device had been on sale across a variety of retailers for $15 since last month, down from its original price of $35. Google's Spokesperson said: Our product portfolio continues to evolve, and now we have a variety of products for users to enjoy audio. We have therefore stopped manufacturing our Chromecast Audio products. We will continue to offer assistance for Chromecast Audio devices, so users can continue to enjoy their music, podcasts and more.

The Best Smarthome Products We Saw at CES 2019

<p><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-11685" height="900" src="https://www.reviewgeek.com/p/uploads/2019/01/3da9fa23.jpg" width="1600" /></p> <p>Every year, CES is chock full of smarthome tech. So much so that there’s even an entire dedicated space on the show floor to just smarthome companies. Here are the best new smarthome devices we saw at CES this year.</p> <h2>Voice Assistant Smart Switches</h2> <p><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-11664" height="900" src="https://www.reviewgeek.com/p/uploads/2019/01/a3ef5d79.jpg" width="1600" /></p> <p>Many new products we saw on the show floor weren’t necessarily “new” or revolutionary, but rather many companies have come out with their own versions from young product categories, and that includes smart switches with built-in voice assistants.</p> <p>The <a href="https://www.reviewgeek.com/4506/the-best-in-wall-smart-light-switches/">Ecobee Switch+</a> has been around for a little while now, but at CES this year we saw a few smarthome companies unveil their own versions, including Leviton’s Decora Voice with Alexa and TP-Link’s <a href="https://www.reviewgeek.com/11400/tp-link-unveils-a-slew-of-new-kasa-devices-including-a-video-doorbell/">Kasa Smart Wi-Fi Light Switch with Voice Assistant</a>. Although, with the latter, there’s no official word on which voice assistant it will come with.</p> <h2>Lenovo Smart Clock</h2> <p><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-11667" height="1125" src="https://www.reviewgeek.com/p/uploads/2019/01/d0bcd3c4.png" width="2000" /></p> <p>As you may already know as a Review Geek reader, Google’s Home Hub is <a href="https://www.reviewgeek.com/11218/product-of-the-year-the-google-home-hub/">our favorite product for 2018</a>, but it’s a bit too big for the bedside night stand. Enter the <a href="https://www.reviewgeek.com/11496/lenovo-unveils-google-assistant-smart-clock-and-alexa-tablet-with-dock/">Lenovo Smart Clock</a>.</p> <p>The Smart Clock is essentially a much smaller version of the Home Hub, rocking a 4″ display instead of a 7″. It can show you the time (obviously), display upcoming calendar events, and it makes it easy to set alarms and timers. You can even slap it when the alarm goes off to either snooze or dismiss the alarm, just like the good ‘ole days.</p> <p>The Lenovo Smart Clock will retail for $79 and be available at some point in the spring this year.</p> <h2>Video Doorbells</h2> <h3><a href='https://www.reviewgeek.com/11662/the-best-smarthome-products-we-saw-at-ces-2019/'>Read the remaining 14 paragraphs</a></h3> <br />
