ALLEGED XIAOMI POCO F2 APPEARED ON GEEKBENCH WEBSITE

When Xiaomi announced the POCO F1 smartphone, it was the cheapest model powered by the Snapdragon 845. This helped the new brand win customers’ hearts and become very popular. At the beginning of this year, Redmi became an independent brand. For ages, it’s been thought Redmi-line smartphones are the best in terms of price over performance ratio. But the Redmi K20 series was priced at a way higher pricing. So many analysts have been thinking the company will discontinue this brand in favor of Redmi. But there was an interesting article claiming Xiaomi needs POCO more than ever. Till today, we haven’t know what Xiaomi will do with this brand. Today, the photo of a protective film of the alleged Xiaomi POCO F2 was leaked. So there is every reason to think the next-gen POCO phone is on the way.

The leaked photo shows the alleged Xiaomi POCO F2 will use a drop screen design. Apart from this, the phone has appeared on GeekBench. The website information shows that it is equipped with a 6GB RAM, Snapdragon 845 processor, and run on Android 8.1. As a result, it scores 2473 and 8633 in the single-core and multi-core tests, respectively.
Honestly, if this is the upcoming Xiaomi POCO F2, it’s better not to come. The first generation handset was packed with the same chip. Due to the low pricing, it could conquer the world. But now it’s the era of Snapdragon 855 series chips. So everyone is waiting for the upgraded hardware and not another screen design. As a reminder, the first-gen handset uses a notch screen.
Moreover, the first POCO F1 was running on Android 8.1. So why Xiaomi is not going to put Android 9 on the POCO F2?

Xiaomi Mi A1 XDA Review: Android One and Xiaomi Hardware Result in a Delightful & Affordable Stock Experience

The Xiaomi Mi A1 is one of Xiaomi's biggest releases of the year 2017. Despite its overall humbling package, the phone marks a few important milestones for the Chinese company as well as for the Android ecosystem. The Mi A1 is important because it is the first Xiaomi smartphone to ship without Xiaomi's own custom UX , MIUI on top of the Android OS. It is also the first device that is the result of a reboot of Google's Android One program — an initiative that saw little success in its first phase in India . The Mi A1 is also the first Xiaomi device in recent times that does not see an equivalent launch in China, becoming the first Xiaomi device to be India-exclusive at launch. But does the Mi A1 with its Android One branding provide the value experience we are used to from Xiaomi? In this review, we'll take an in-depth dive into the Xiaomi Mi A1. Rather than listing specs and talking about how the experience felt, this feature attempts to prov

UBER IOS APP CAN VIRTUALLY ‘SEE’ YOUR PHONE SCREEN, AND APPLE APPROVED IT

WHY IT MATTERS TO YOU Permissions inside the Uber app sound like a privacy nightmare, but have never been abused, and will soon be removed. To better prepare its Apple Watch app, Uber used technology enabling it to view and record what was happening on an iPhone's screen, even when the Uber app was only running in the background. The permission to do this was granted by Apple, and although Uber claims not to use the system anymore, it remains part of the app. The news comes from Sudo Security Group, which unearthed the capability — called an Entitlement — in the Uber app. While this sounds like a security and privacy nightmare, the entitlement doesn't work like a screen-recording app, according to an app researcher speaking to Gizmodo , and will be removed from the app soon. What it does is visualize colors and pixels on the screen, not precise details. However, the concern is this data could be decoded and interpreted to reveal sensitive personal inf

AOL Instant Messenger is shutting down on December 15th

It's the end of an era. AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) is officially shutting down on December 15th, Oath announced this morning. AIM started out as the built-in chat application in America Online's desktop client, but it really took off after it was broken out as a separate application in 1997. The app, and its iconic messaging sound, were staples for anyone who spent too much time on the web in the '90s and early '00s. Really though, the writing was on the wall for AIM since AOL laid off most of the division in 2012. AIM also started cutting off third-party access earlier this year, which was a big sign the service was on its way out. Oath -- the new Verizon company that includes AOL, Yahoo, and yes, Engadget -- isn't saying what, exactly, will be replacing AIM. For now, though, Yahoo Messenger seems like the best possibility. "AIM tapped into new digital technologies and ignited a cultural shift, but the way in which we communicate with each o
