Xiaomi Chiron spotted with 5.6" screen, Snapdragon 835 chipset

18 September 2017

A curious Xiaomi passed through GFXBench – code named Chiron, the mysterious phone has a 5.6” screen with 16.5:9 aspect ratio. That’s quite unusual, the original Mi Mix had a 17:9 screen, the new one is at 18:9.

This device has 1,080 x 1,980px resolution instead – seems just enough to fit on-screen buttons and leave a 16:9 screen behind. But don’t be distracted by the lack of QHD resolution this is a flagship device.

The Xiaomi Chiron has a Snapdragon 835 chipset with 6GB of RAM and a whopping 256GB of built-in storage. This could be the Mi Note 3 that people actually wanted, not the Snapdragon 660 copout.

Anyway, the new phone has a 12MP main camera on the back (not quite clear if its single or dual cam) with 4K 2160p video recording. There’s a 5MP selfie cam on the front too.

The Chiron will come out with Android 7.1 Nougat and likely MIUI 9. As you can see, a good deal of that 256GB storage is taken up the Xiaomi’s extensive OS. It's unclear when exactly the Chiron might go official or what its real name will be (Mi 6 Plus, Mi 6c, Redmi Pro 2, we can only guess).

Check out the Nokia 2, a budget phone with a monster battery

Android Authority Check out the Nokia 2, a budget phone with a monster battery 19 hours ago HMD Global is slowly building up its portfolio of stock-Android-running smartphones. In addition to the trio of mid-rangers (Nokia 3, 5, and 6) it launched at MWC , the company bolstered its high-end with the Nokia 8 , and now the other side of spectrum is getting some attention. Just leaked by Evan Blass , the Nokia 2 looks… well, like a generic cheap phone. If you have a visceral hate of bezels, you’ll probably want to close this post and move on, but design is hardly the point here. Blass didn’t share any details about the Nokia 2, but we can make some educated guesses based on some other clues we’ve got about the phone. First, you might have noticed that the phones in the leaked renders show October 5 as the date. Dates in renders are often set to match the launch time, but this could be an old render and there’s still time for things to change. Read more Han...

How safe are our kids in schools?

TOI How safe are our kids in schools? 7 hours ago by Praveen Lenka Whatsapp Facebook Google Plus Twitter Email Linkedin SMS SHARE HIGHLIGHTS Parents’ Suggestions Feedback from parents should be taken in the right stride by school authorities. PTA should have more authority and a right to put their points across in all school matters, especially when it comes to the safety of their children. No child, especially small kids, should be allowed to go alone to the washroom. There should be zero tolerance for non-compliance with child safety guidelines. Official authorities should conduct regular checks in schools to ensure that they have implemented safety measures. Schools should take the help of professional counsellors/psychologists to interview potential recruits. Over the past two days, twin incidents of students getting assaulted in their school premises have been reported from the National Capital. Close on...

THE LOST WORLD ( CHAPTER 12)

CHAPTER XII "It was Dreadful in the Forest" I have said—or perhaps I have not said, for my memory plays me sad tricks these days—that I glowed with pride when three such men as my comrades thanked me for having saved, or at least greatly helped, the situation. As the youngster of the party, not merely in years, but in experience, character, knowledge, and all that goes to make a man, I had been overshadowed from the first. And now I was coming into my own. I warmed at the thought. Alas! for the pride which goes before a fall! That little glow of self-satisfaction, that added measure of self-confidence, were to lead me on that very night to the most dreadful experience of my life, ending with a shock which turns my heart sick when I think of it. It came about in this way. I had been unduly excited by the adventure of the tree, and sleep seemed to be impossible. Summerlee was on guard, sitting hunched over our small fire, a quaint, angular figure, his rifle across his knee...
