Back in April, Xiaomi released their new system program, MIUI 12. That’s set to bring users a ton of neat features like enhanced privacy controls, navigation gesture support, and a more modern UI overhaul. Now it looks as if the company might also have some new camera capabilities, in the form of an astrophotography mode.
The feature will allow users to take pictures of objects that are normally difficult to capture with a smartphone camera, such as moonlit night skies and breathtaking star trails. It sounds like Google’s long-exposure mode with the Pixel 4, along with the need for a tripod to produce the best performance.
This new mode has already been spotted in the MIUI 12 beta build for the Poco F2 Pro, as Telegram user @hardziol shared screenshots with XDA showing off the interface.
With the introduction of Pixel 3 in 2018 , Google introduced Night Sight into the market. OnePlus soon after introduced a Nightscape app, and in 2019, Samsung followed suit with its own photography capabilities for the Night Mode. These days, smartphone manufacturers are becoming extremely competitive when it comes to photography, but hardware can only go that far; as companies like Google and Apple have shown, computational photography is where the real magic happens. Time will say if the efforts of Xiaomi would prove as successful as they were.

Xiaomi Vice President Chang Cheng announced on Weibo this afternoon that Xiaomi Wireless Charging’s charging rate has improved in recent years from 10W-30W mode. The company is however currently developing a new wireless charging that breaks its current 30W power. The company has a new 40W wireless fast charging system, according to Xiaomi VP, Chang Cheng. The Xiaomi 40W wireless charging capability is fairly impressive.
The new Xiaomi smartphone uses a wireless 30W charging system. Now, the company is doing more to make future flagships more appealing. Wireless charging is clearly going to be a big growth field this year. The aim of Xiaomi is to achieve charging speeds which some OEMs are struggling to achieve with wired charging.
Xiaomi’s latest flagships, Xiaomi Mi 10 and Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro but uses fast wireless charging solutions. The Xiaomi Mi 10 comes with a 4780 mAh custom strip fast charge battery, which supports 30W wired fast flash charging + 30W wireless fast flash charging + 10W wireless reverse charging. On the other hand, the Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro uses a 4500 mAh strip battery. However, it comes with a faster 50W fast flash charging technology. This charging solution achieves a full charge in just 45 minutes. In addition, it uses Xiaomi’s latest 30W wireless charging solution which is quite fast.
After rolling out last month’s Android 10 update for the Mi A2 smartphone, Xiaomi today started rolling out the update for its latest Mi A3 smartphone after a slight delay, even though last month it released Android 10-based Kernel Sources for that app. Last year in August the smartphone debuted running Android 9.0 (Pie).
Android 10 provides users with a number of additional privacy and security features, including Dark Theme, Smart Reaction, Focus mode, dedicated’ Privacy’ portion, and much more. After the update, you need to select “Show fingerprint icon when the screen if off” option in the fingerprint settings so that the fingerprint icon appears in the lockscreen when you raise the device or tap the screen. Xiaomi claims this raises power consumption though.
