Xiaomi’s developers have started work on MIUI 12, and an official of MIUI had already announced the release date of MIUI 12 along with the new features. Xiaomi was founded in 2010.
If you are an existing customer of Xiaomi, then you might have noticed a pattern from MIUI 7 to MIUI 11. It all started with MIUI 7 when its interface was completely changed after updating to MIUI 8. But then, there were no major differences in terms of looks between MIUI 8 and MIUI 9. Then again, the interface including icons, animation, app design was completely changed with the release of MIUI 10. The pattern was repeated again with the release of MIUI 11, which was almost similar to MIUI 10. In summary, it is generally seen that Xiaomi completely redesigns its interface and looks after every 2 years. In the same vein, there might some major changes in the upcoming MIUI 12.
Here we will list down all the major expected updates in MIUI 12 and the smartphones compatible with the new MIUI.
1. Launcher and Gesture
Finally, Xiaomi might add an app drawer in their system launcher. There will be little changes in the icons, but the prime focus of Xiaomi will be on animation and smooth gestures.
You can see the gesture bar on the navigation panel the same as iOS 13. Using which you can control your smartphone through these gestures. All the gestures will be super smooth unlike the ones in MIUI 11. The gestures of MIUI 11 were patchy and unresponsive, but the gestures of the updated UI will be smooth as well as responsive. MIUI 12 is also filled with gestures, ranging from recent apps menu to open or close an app.
2.Dark Mode
With the new update, we get the full support of dark mode in the system apps. Meanwhile, if the panel of your Xiaomi device is AMOLED then you will get an option of dark mode 2.0. Dark mode 2.0 provides the functionality of pixel-level darkness to the user. With the exception of fonts and contents, the complete background will be painted pitch black on enabling the dark mod 2.0.
3. Background brightness
The brightness of background wallpaper will get brighter or dimmer depending on whether it is day or night. The change will be in a gradient manner. Along with brightness, the font-weight will also adjust automatically. The boldness of the text will adjust accordingly with time.
4. Focus Mode
We got a feature in Android 9 which helped in limiting our usage through screentime monitoring. In this update, we will get some advanced features to control our display time more easily. We can see the complete usage of a particular app and also how much time we used it. Also, we can set time for using a particular app.
A new feature added in MIUI 12 is the focus mode, It works exactly like zen mode of Oxygen OS. Therefore, on enabling this feature you will not be able to use the phone for a set amount of time, except for answering incoming calls. You can use this feature to concentrate on your other tasks.
5. Light Mode
The light mode feature used to be available in the older versions of MIUI but since the new updates, this feature was retired.
The light mode might make a come back in the latest update. This feature is rather very useful for senior citizens. Using the light mode feature, they can use their device with more ease as the complete UI gets converted into a simpler interface. It might also be helpful for those who are new to Android phones.
6. Game Turbo
Talking about a few app-based features, we got Game Turbo 2.0 pre-installed in the system. Game Turbo 2.0 helps in better optimization and smoother gaming experience. With the new game turbo, you get the added functionality of changing the voice to another gender. You can use this feature in games such as Pubg, Free Fire, Call of Duty Mobile. The new game turbo also provides better privacy.
7. Camera
There are no major updates of the camera, but the design will be minimal now in the latest update. Users can customize the camera layout, in which the customer can set a maximum of 10 functions according to his choice or usability. In the gallery, the user will get a sky filter to change the background sky of pictures. In these filters, the user will be able to record snowfall or rain in the background as a video. A major improvement in video recording is the added capability to change the quality of recorded videos from 1080p to 720p, helpful in reducing the video size drastically.
Release Date and availability
The MIUI 12 will be released on 27 April in China.
Here is the list of smartphones which are going to get this update
Apart from the major features, there is no more requirement of an external app to see your sleep pattern. With this feature, you can schedule your sleep and wake up time. The feature will be available in the clock app. In MIUI 12 you can see that what is going on in the background means you can check the app history to see the app usage and can see the time in which the app uses your location, contacts, etc. in the background.
It is difficult to say comment on the overall performance, optimization, and battery backup of MIUI until it is available. There are many system bugs in the stable version of MIUI 11.
Nowadays there is a huge competition between Flutter and React Native in the market, both frameworks are used to develop cross-platform mobile app development. In other words, you need to write the code only once and it can be used to develop apps for iOS as well as Android.
While some programmers suggest Flutter, others recommend React Native as the better option for the future. But the question still remains, which should we choose for ourselves? And in which framework should we start the mobile application development? Normally, we cannot decide directly that React Native will be better or Flutter will be better. Thus, we are going to compare both of them on the basis of the following criteria.
Launch Date
Performance
Hot Reload
Component
Language
Documentation
Native Look
Industry Adoption
Community Support
State Management
Choice
1.Launch Date
React Native released in the first quarter of the year 2015. The initial release of React Native was on March 26, 2015, and now the React Native is completely stable.
On the other hand, Flutter released in the second quarter of the year 2017. The initial release of Flutter was in May 2017, and it is also completely stable now.
In terms of release, React Native takes the lead since it came first and got the advantage of community support.
2. Performance
When it comes to performance, Flutter takes the point. React Native leverages the power of JavaScript for bridging with the native components while Flutter avoids the bridge to interact with the native components. For this reason, Flutter is the winner here.
CPU-intensive test for iOS (credit-https://medium.com/swlh/flutter-vs-native-vs-react-native-examining-performance-31338f081980)CPU-intensive test for android (credit-https://medium.com/swlh/flutter-vs-native-vs-react-native-examining-performance-31338f081980)
So here the clear winner is Flutter in terms of speed and performance.
3. Hot Reload
Both Flutter and React Native supports Hot Reload functionality. Hot Reloading basically gives you the functionality to keep the app running while you can inject new versions of the files that you edited at runtime. That means you can make changes in the app and show them on the mobile when you are debugging the app.
Therefore, it is a stalemate. Since both Flutter and react-native support Hot Reload.
4. Component
On the basis of component, Flutter comes slightly on top here. React Native uses third-party components whereas Flutter comes with all its components. Using third-party components might be better for the side projects or for a company but in long terms, programmers will mostly prefer Flutter.
Therefore, Flutter comes on top of React Native but only by a little.
5. Language
Now choosing a language can be a bit tough. Where Java might be better for someone and python might be better for another.
First, let’s talk about React Native, It uses JavaScript to develop a mobile application. On the other hand, Flutter uses dart as the programming language. But here the choice can vary from person to person. For someone, JavaScript might be super easy whereas for someone dart might be. But in the coding industry, almost every programmer is familiar with JavaScript.
If we talk about language then there no one is a clear winner but React Native can be called more favorable since it uses JavaScript. There is a huge community of JavaScript programmers so it will be easy for them to switch mobile development. Dart is also a super easy language but, learning a new language can be a little difficult.
6. Documentation
The documentation of Flutter is really amazing and simple. On the other hand, React Native doesn’t provide the best documentation, and programmers have to rely on third-party documentation. But it doesn’t mean that Flutter is the winner. Sometimes it can be confusing to use the validator and forms in Flutter. While Flutter can be complex and confusing at times, the documentation certainly helps the programmers to understand the things better. All things considered, Flutter comes out on top by a small margin.
7. Native Look
Native look refers to the appearance of your app and how closely it resembles your default operating system(iOS or Android).
Out of React Native and Flutter, React Native looks more closer to an operating system. That means components such as widgets, buttons, and seek bar of the app will look similar to default widgets, button, seek bar of iOS and Android.
As noted above, React Native looks more native than Flutter. As a result, React Native wins this round.
8. Industry Adoption
While some say the industry is adopting Flutter, others say the industry is adopting React Native. Many companies have started using Flutter but a huge industry is still choosing React Native to develop apps.
If some industry is thinking of moving from native app to cross-platform, then flutter is more preferable that the two as it is faster to build even from scratch. And also the bridging mechanism in react native makes it complicated to use device hardware. For this reason, Flutter is preferred for any apps using device hardware.
Here, in the criteria of industry adoption React Native is slightly better. Because the industry prefers to use React Native than Flutter yet.
9. Community Support
Without any doubt, the React Native has bigger community support in the market. Google is doing hard work to make larger community support for the Flutter. React Native takes advantage here because of the early launch, React Native came early in the market so that the developer adopts the React Native. It doesn’t mean that Flutter has no community support, the community around Flutter is rising day by day and is doing great. But still, React Native has a larger community support than Flutter.
In terms of community support, React Native wins this.
10. State Management
This is an important thing for a developer, both of those working life cycles and models are based on the state management but still, the state management is not the best in both of them. They can manage all types of state management but it increases the code complexity.
Hence, no one is the winner as both are based on state management. But that’s the reason, that developers still love to use Redux for State Management. Redux is fully supported by React Native as well as Flutter.
11. Choice
This is last but not the least. It is most important amongst all these criteria. It is important to choose the framework in which you are interested.
Bottom Line
I hope you got an idea and all your doubts are clear by now. In the end, what matters the most is that you choose the one in which you are more comfortable, it can be either React Native or Flutter. But remember, choose the option in which you are comfortable to code with.
Nowadays the news is spreading too much about a little kid who is only 14 years old, the name is Abhigya. Many people are spreading the news on social media about his statement, that he had predicted coronavirus in 2019, and also he had given us a remedy to fight against corona. The remedy is to Stay Home. The little kid presents him as an astrologer. This all was fine but the question arises here that, Is he really correct? Did he already do the prediction about the coronavirus in June 2019? So here our team took it seriously and we did a little research on this statement by Abhigya( a 14-year-old kid).
Who is Abhigya?
Abhigya’s full name is Abhigya Anand and he is from Karnataka, India and he is only 14-years old. Abhigya claims to be an astrologer. By the way, Abhigya is a Youtuber having 726K subscribers on youtube. A little kid Abhigya channel name is “Conscience” and it is an educational youtube channel by the kid. A little boy of 14 is spreading knowledge on youtube which is a great thing. He is doing amazing, we appreciate the kid. All things are amazing but there is a video on Abhigya’s channel which is almost about a year old. In that video the boy told about the prediction of the pandemic.
Prediction of the kid Astrologer
On 22 August 2019, there was a video uploaded on the “Conscience” channel on YouTube. The video was uploaded on Abhigya’s YouTube channel has been watched more than 5 Million times. It is about 20 minutes and 52 seconds of video. In the video, In that video the kid is telling us that there is a big danger for the world between November 2019 to April 2020. Abhigya has given the reason for these claims to Saturn, Dragon tail and Venus planets.
at that time all people make a joke about that statement. But now this video is spreading on social media that the kid was telling the truth and he is right or on the other hand few people are opposing that statement.
Predictions of Abhigya in a list
There is a 99% possibility of war between Pakistan and India
The prices of gold, silver and oil will increase a lot at that time
Us-Iran war will erupt
In that 20 minutes and 42 seconds video, There is a talk about the war between November 2019 and April 2020 not about Coronavirus or any other pandemics.
Actual facts behind the prediction
So here we take a step ahead and see the actual facts in sequence behind the predictions.
99% of the chance of war between India and Pakistan claims to be false. There are no war situations between the two countries from November 2019 to April 2020. Yes, there have been incidents of ceasefire violations and somehow that is common between India and Pakistan. So the statement resulted wrong.
According to the statement, the prices of gold, silver, and oil will increase a lot. But It is clear that any war affects the economy. This is not the fixed standard, and yes the economy got in trouble due to this pandemic but it is natural. And the statement about the oil resulted totally false. As we all know that, there is a huge decrement in the price of crude oil, prices have fallen drastically.
In the third statement, the kid said that the war will erupt between Iran and US. But in between those countries haven’t erupted war since November 2019 to today. Yes, it is true that there is a rift between those countries since at the beginning of 2019. But the rift was continuing since before the video got uploaded. So it is also not a true statement.
Truth
We are not saying anything about the belief of people on astrology, it is the personal choice of every person. Yes personally, we do not believe in astrology but it doesn’t mean that another can’t.
But it is completely wrong to relate this video with this pandemic, because first of all the kid didn’t say anything about the Coronavirus or any other virus. And there is not even a single statement in that video which can prove it scientifically.
Bottom line
The prediction of Abhigya Anand on 22 August 2019 resulted completely wrong. He didn’t even mention Coronavirus or any other pandemic. Stay home, stay safe.
Google already has its own online payment app named google pay, and now Google is working on its physical payment system which is known as a smart debit card. The search engine company Google is testing branded smart debit card, which will help customers for payment in the online store as well as offline.
TechCrunch report said that the company is making his Google Pay system more strong. This project of Google is the new centerpiece of the current payment system and with the physical debit card. Google will do a partnership with the banks, which can be easily paid like Visa card and MasterCard. Google will provide the option to their customer to do every kind of payment with a single smart debit card.
Customers Will Get A Virtual Card Number
Apple is also providing a similar card. Although Google’s card will work like a physical debit card and on the phone. It will work like a tape-to-pay digital card. It will also offer a virtual card number for online retailers to pay.
The Card Will Be Lock With Mobile App
The interesting feature of the card is, the user can lock the card through the Google Pay app even user could lock the complete account if the card theft or loss. At present, google’s card is looking more secure than the existing debit cards. And also few leaks says that Google can provide offers and discount with the card.

On 9 August 2019, Huawei initially released their Harmony OS(Operating System) at their developer conference. The CEO of Huawei business consumer group, Richard claims that the Harmony OS is faster, efficient, and safer than Android OS(Operating System). So here you will know everything about the Operating System.
Why Huawei needs to develop the OS?
It seems like google cut off the ties with Huawei last year after the US government prevented Huawei from buying components from American Companies, that means Huawei can only use the public version of Android OS(Operating System) but can’t use google apps and services like play store, Gmail, YouTube and google maps, etc.
Few specs about the OS(Operating System)
Harmony OS(Operating System) Huawei is an open-source, cross-platform operating system developed by Huawei. It is a microkernel-based operating system, distributed operating system designed to deliver a new user experience across all devices and scenarios. Huawei claims that the Harmony OS(Operating System) is way better than Android.
Why Harmony OS(Operating System) is better than Android?
Android is based on Linux kernel where the Harmony is based on a microkernel, the microkernel is better and efficient in terms of performance.
it is a multi-platform operating system that means write once run it on any screen like tablet, watch, tv, smartphone, anywhere.
It comes with a “Deterministic Latency Engine”, which provides a minimum latency and smooth inactive experience.
Huawei app gallery, Huawei owns its app store known as the app gallery. Huawei is doing its best to allow developers to develop apps and put them on the App gallery.
In terms of security, as Huawei claims, they have deployed a formal verification method and restricted root access.
Huawei officially hasn’t announced that the upcoming smartphone of Huawei will come with the Harmony OS(Operating System). They said they are ready with their OS but the priority is Android because they have a partnership with Google. Huawei clearly said if google will ban them completely, then they have their Harmony OS(Operating System) ready for smartphones. So maybe we can see a smartphone soon with harmony os.
Developer Support
Harmony OS is an open-source project the same as Android. Huawei mentioned that it will allow the developers to develop great and efficient applications for the Harmony OS.
Bottom line
Huawei clearly said that they are not competing with Android but the next generation of Android which is Google Fuchsia OS maybe. Huawei is doing better in the field of technology, in the future probably Huawei can become a competitor of Google.
