Xiaomi Mi 11 first night scene video released – outputs a smooth video – Gizchina.com
Xiaomi will officially release the Xiaomi Mi 11 series on December 28th. While most of the features of this phone are already public, salient information regarding this series is still hitting the web. The Xiaomi Mi 11 is the company’s 2021 flagship and it will be the first to launch the Snapdragon 888 SoC. This device is already on appointment on JD.com. A recent official warm-up (merry christmas) video shows the first-night scene performance of the Mi 11. This smartphone incorporates a new computing photography technology for a very smooth video even at night.
According to Xiaomi, the Mi 11 computational photography will bring new breakthroughs in high-end imaging. Computational Photography uses artificial intelligence to break through the physical limitations of optics. It also uses powerful computing power to create a brand new visual imagination. Furthermore, it employs learning to surpass the details visible to the human eye.
Xiaomi Mi 11 speculations
There have been numerous leaks and speculations regarding the Xiaomi Mi 11 series. For starters, this series will have at least two versions – Xiaomi Mi 11 and Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro. Both smartphones will continue to use a punch-hole design. However, while the Mi 11 uses a hyperboloid screen, the Mi 11 Pro comes with a 2K quad-curved screen. The displays support up to 120Hz refresh rate as well as the native 10bit color depth.
Judging from the leaked real images of the Mi 11, it uses a blue gradient back shell. Furthermore, the rear camera layout has a square design. This compartment holds two large sensors and a small sensor above the LED light. However, the Mi 11 Pro is expected to adopt a horizontal matrix camera design.
In addition, the Mi 11 Pro will support up to 100W super-fast charging. Recall that this is the specification of the Xiaomi Mi 10 Extreme Edition. Nevertheless, there are speculations that the Mi 11 Pro charging power may be up to 120W fast charging. The basic version of the series will receive a battery with a capacity of 4780mAh, and the larger variant with a 4970mAh battery. The standard version camera will have three lenses (108 MP + 13 MP + 5 MP), while the Mi 11 Pro will have a more interesting set of sensors: 50 MP + 48 MP + 20 MP + 12 MP.
Also, the Mi 11 appeared on Geekbench today. As expected, this smartphone comes with Qualcomm’s latest 5G flagship SoC, Snapdragon 888. It also has up to 12GB of RAM and runs Android 11. This device recorded a single core of 1135 points and a multi-core of 3790 points. This obviously meets Qualcomm’s official standard for the Snapdragon 888 SoC.

Apple today released a new 14.4 software update for the HomePod, with the update coming over a month after the 14.3 software release that brought performance improvements and bug fixes.
/article-new/2021/01/HomePod-mini-iOS-14.4-feature.jpg?lossy)
Today’s update introduces new U1 Ultra Wide band functionality between the HomePod mini and devices that have a U1 chip like the iPhone 11 and iPhone 12 models.
Software version 14.4 includes bug fixes and the following new features with an Ultra Wideband (U1) equipped iPhone.
– Hand off music with visual, audible, and haptic effects from iPhone to HomePod mini
– Get personalized listening suggestions on iPhone when it is next to HomePod mini
– Media controls automatically appear without having to unlock iPhone when it is close to HomePod mini
The update adds visual, audio, and haptic effects when songs are transferred from a HomePod mini to a U1-enabled iPhone 11 or iPhone 12. When an iPhone is near the HomePod mini it begins a soft haptic touch rhythm that gets faster and faster as the iPhone gets closer until the interface to transfer a song between the HomePod mini and the iPhone opens.

This functionality will make handoff quicker and more reliable on a HomePod mini and an iPhone 11 or iPhone 12, all of which are equipped with U1 chips that let the devices better understand where they are in relation to one another.
The update also adds personalized listening suggestions on iPhone when it is next to the HomePod mini and it causes media controls to automatically appear without having to unlock the iPhone when it is nearby the HomePod mini.
U1 chip functionality is unique to the HomePod mini and is not available on the standard HomePod because the HomePod does not have a U1 chip inside.
Respawn Entertainment has debuted a new 80s-action-movie style trailer for Apex Legends season 8 and Fuse is its biggest star. Along with a preview of the game’s newest Legend, the trailer also gives us a brief glimpse of the newly-destroyed version of the Kings Canyon map.
Since this trailer puts Fuse at the center, it’s also our best look so far at what he can do. It seems that Fuse has a wrist-mounted grenade launcher, which he can use to hurl explosives at enemies. He also appears to be able to drop a cluster of napalm onto the map, which sets the ground on fire for quite a while after its used. While those two are likely his Tactical ability and his Ultimate, Fuse’s Passive still remains a mystery.
The trailer also shows off the newly-updated version of Kings Canyon. The map seems to be in shambles after a ship crashed into it in an earlier season 8 trailer. While we don’t get many details on what kind of damage the crash caused, we do see a few locations that seem to have gained some new entrances thanks to the massive holes blasted in their walls.
Season 8’s other new additions come on the weapons front and we get a preview of them in the trailer as well. This season’s new weapon is the old-west style 30-30 Repeater rifle. The semi-automatic gun seems to pack quite a punch but it’s definitely got a slower rate-of-fire than most of the other weapons in the game.
Respawn Entertainment is also adding Golden Magazines with season 8, which appear to infinitely feed ammo directly from your bag to your weapon, without the need to reload.
All of these new additions to Apex Legends should go live as soon as the season starts on Feb. 2.
