Well, there are a few things that separate the game from the usual, run-of-the-mill word games. For starters, it is not an app, which may seem absurd in today’s app-centric climate but is played on a browser. Another very interesting thing about Wordle is that you only get one puzzle a day, which is again a little strange considering how all apps and games want users to spend as much time as possible on their platform....
It might come as a surprise for some, but this is not the first time Xiaomi has delved into upping its charging-game. Earlier this year, it demonstrated its 100W charging technology in a video, which would compete against the likes of Huawei and Oppo that come with 40W and 50W charging rate, respectively. In the video, Xiaomi compared its charging technology with Oppo’s 50W Super VOOC charging technology that managed to charge a 3700mAh battery to 65% in 17 minutes....
Externally, the Xiaomi 90 Minutes Ultra Smart Running Shoes from Mijia looks just any other ordinary shoe. That said, the main features that distinguish it from the rest are its ability to count your workout and walking details. The smart shoes can track your steps, distance covered, calories burnt, speed etc. It can also automatically detect whether you are running, walking or climbing.

However, this time around, the Xiaomi India head, along with a few other team members have started teasing the launch of a new product....
As expected, the handset sports some really appealing specs and features, hence its local price of CNY 2999 (approximately Rs. 30,760 or $483). It will go on sale in China from May 12, but at the moment we don’t know other details regarding its rollout out to other markets, but most likely India is going to be among the first to get it. So, let’s have a look at the rich specs sheet that it boasts with:...
The Mi Mix 3 originally sported the Snapdragon 845 SoC from last year, which of course did not have 5G capabilities, so Xiaomi has swapped that out for the new 7nm based Snapdragon 855 SoC which has support for 5G networks, making the smartphone futureproof. With the new X50 modem from Qualcomm, Xiaomi claims up to 2Gbps of downlink speeds. The rest of the specifications remains identical to the original Mi Mix 3....

The router comes with support for the 2.4GHz band and offers up to 300Mbps of speed. Sadly, it lacks the 5GHz band. The router comes with 64MB of DDR2 RAM, which Xiaomi suggests can connect up to 64 devices at a time....
Xiaomi has been sticking to the deadlines when it comes to the MIUI updates, but the same is not true for the Android versions. For the sake of context, MIUI is Xiaomi’s overlay and is based on different versions of Android. Although Xiaomi ensures to update really old devices to newer MIUI versions, the actual Android OS version bump is hard to come by. Most of the devices including Mi Max 2, Mi 5C and the Redmi 4X will be treated to a Nougat update as well....
The strategic partnership between Xiaomi and Naver will help bring newer and improved AI-based IoT products in the market.

Meanwhile, Firefox has gained traction with the introduction of the Firefox Quantum and many people have been making the switch.
