This week Xiaomi said it will not release HyperOS updates to devices with unlocked bootloaders. Additionally, phones running HyperOS will be more difficult to unlock. Currently, to unlock a Xiaomi phone, the company requires you to submit an application via the Windows app and wait a week before you can finally unlock the bootloader. Chinese HyperOS users will be asked to not only wait a week, but also get level 5 on their community forums. Users outside of China will have to wait for an official announcement from Xiaomi on how the new unlocking process will work. Of course, if you lock your device, you will receive the next HyperOS update immediately.
The iQOO 12 series was presented in China. Both phones have Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipsets, 144Hz displays, and impressive triple cameras on the back. The Pro has a higher-resolution 1440p panel, wireless charging, and a slightly larger 5,100 mAh battery. Both phones will go on sale in China on November 14, with the iQOO 12 Pro starting at CNY 4,999 (€642, INR 57,150) and the iQOO 12 starting at CNY 3,999 (€515, INR 45,700).
MediaTek announced the Dimensity 9300 with four Cortex-X4 cores and four Cortex-A720 cores – there are efficiency cores here. It will be interesting to see how the four ultra-fast X4 cores are cooled and the level of performance the Dimensity 9300 can deliver in real life. We expect the Oppo Find X7 series and vivo X100 series to be among the first to use the new flagship SoC.
We’ve worked very hard over the past few months to revamp our beloved battery test, and we’re proud to announce our Battery Life Test 2.0. Keeping up with the times, the new test focuses on video streaming and gaming, keeping the call test and basic browsing test, albeit with a twist: scrolling web pages and touch input every 3 seconds! The endurance rating is gone, say goodbye to the active user score, an estimate of how long the battery will last if you use the device with a mix of all four activities. A nice feature is that you can adjust the active usage score based on your usage patterns and preferences. We are discontinuing the Endurance classification, and the new name more clearly conveys the change in our approach to battery testing.
