Xiaomi to follow Apple footsteps with Mi 11 shipping without charging adapter

Xiaomi Mi 11 is set to launch on December 28 as the first phone powered by the Snapdragon 888 processor. Ahead of its launch, company CEO Lei Jun has confirmed the speculations that the Mi 11 will not come with a charging adapter out-of-the-box. So much for mocking Apple when it decided not to bundle charging adapter with its new iPhones anymore. The joke, it seems is now on Xiaomi as it has decided to follow Apple’s footsteps.

Writing a post on Weibo, Lei Jun revealed the retail box of the Mi 11 and said that in response to the calls for environment protection the company has taken this measure and will not include a charger in the box of the Mi 11. The retail packaging of the Mi 11 also confirms that the phone has 108MP camera system along with Super AMOLED screen certified for HDR10+ playback and the sound has been tuned by Harman Kardon.

A similar thing happened when Apple went ahead and removed the 3.5 mm audio jack from iPhones and Android manufacturers followed suit. Seems like we are about to enter a charger-less world but that would mean accessible wireless charging products that are still in its infancy. However, Xiaomi has said that the company will talk more about this during the launch that’s slated for next week.

Xiaomi Mi 11 has been leaked and teased in the past few weeks ahead of the official unveil and here is what you can expect from the upcoming Mi 11 series.

Xiaomi Mi 11 series is rumoured to feature a QHD+ display that supports 120Hz refresh rate and curves along the four edges. The company has also confirmed that the Mi 11 will also have a layer of Gorilla Glass Victus screen. A previous leak has also hinted that the Mi 11 may be offered in four colours with a matte finish and a squircle camera module on the back.

It is confirmed to have a 108MP primary camera along but there is no information on the other cameras. The phone will run on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor clocked at 2.84GHz and will run on MIUI 12 out-of-the-box.

We will know more about the Mi 11 series as we near the official date of the launch which is December 28.

First ever drone-delivered kidney is no worse for wear

Drone delivery really only seems practical for two things: take-out and organ transplants. Both are relatively light and also extremely time sensitive. Well, experiments in flying a kidney around Baltimore in a refrigerated box have yielded positive results — which also seems promising for getting your pad thai to you in good kit. The test flights were conducted by researchers at the University of Maryland there, led by surgeon Joseph Scalea. He has been frustrated in the past with the inflexibility of air delivery systems, and felt that drones represent an obvious solution to the last-mile problem. Scalea and his colleagues modified a DJI M600 drone to carry a refrigerated box payload, and also designed a wireless biosensor for monitoring the organ while in flight. After months of waiting, their study was assigned a kidney that was healthy enough for testing but not good enough for transplant. Once it landed in Baltimore, the team loaded it into the container and had it travel 14

My product launch wishlist for Instagram, Twitter, Uber and more

‘Twas the night before Xmas, and all through the house, not a feature was stirring from the designer’s mouse . . . Not Twitter! Not Uber, Not Apple or Pinterest! On Facebook! On Snapchat! On Lyft or on Insta! . . . From the sidelines I ask you to flex your code’s might. Happy Xmas to all if you make these apps right. Instagram See More Like This – A button on feed posts that when tapped inserts a burst of similar posts before the timeline continues. Want to see more fashion, sunsets, selfies, food porn, pets, or Boomerangs? Instagram’s machine vision technology and metadata would gather them from people you follow and give you a dose. You shouldn’t have to work through search, hashtags, or the Explore page, nor permanently change your feed by following new accounts. Pinterest briefly had this feature (and should bring it back) but it’d work better on Insta.
