Xiaomi LEX to launch as Mi Note4 alongside Mi MIX 3 on October 15

A few days ago, a
poster that revealed Xiaomi will launch the Mi MIX 3 on October 15 was seen on the web. Now, more posters have leaked and they also confirm the same date above for the launch of the Mi MIX 3 and that of a second phone too.

The Xiaomi Mi MIX 3 is the device we’ve been looking forward to ever since it was officially teased by Xiaomi’s own president back in August. However, a second device called the Xiaomi LEX also surfaced online a few days ago.

One of the posters reveals that the second phone launching on October 15 is the Mi Note4. This is the device originally known as the Xiaomi LEX. Apparently, LEX is the codename for the phone. The Mi Note4 is the successor to the Mi Note3 released in September 2017.

Not much is known about the Mi Note4 except for a screenshot that shows it has a dedicated AI assistant button. Nevertheless, it sure should be a worthy upgrade when compared to its predecessor. The poster also has a color gradient background. We believe this might be one of the colors it will be available in.

The second poster states that the Mi MIX 3 will launch in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province. Also, the poster’s background is a photo of an aurora. It may be hinting at one of its color variants. The Mi MIX 3 will have a slide mechanism, a Snapdragon 845 processor, and a bezel-less display. It will also have a dedicated button for its AI assistant

WhatsApp to Soon Get Fingerprint Authentication on Android: Report

HIGHLIGHTS Fingerprint authentication will be required for users to open WhatsApp The new WhatsApp feature is current under development It will protect the entire WhatsApp app and not specific conversations WhatsApp is reportedly working on a fingerprint authentication feature to protect its users' chats from being seen by others. The authentication, once enabled, will be required for users to open the app. The Facebook-owned instant messaging service was recently reported to bring a similar feature to iPhone as well, supporting two biometric authentication methods - both Face ID and Touch ID. It appears this won't be limited to iPhone, and users on Android will get fingerprint authentication, but no facial recognition based authentication, thanks to the lack of a widely used standard on the platform. According to WABetaInfo, a fan site that tests new WhatsApp features early, the feature is current under development, and disabled by default in the...

Huawei Employee Reportedly Reveals Android P Name, And It’s Not What You Think

It’s that time of the year when the world speculates on which dessert will be used as the name for the next Android version. While there have been several easter eggs and hints about Android P’s official name, there’s no clarity on what it might actually be called. According a report by Tabeltowo , a Huawei employee might have just leaked the full name of Android P as Android Pistachio. During a live chat with a customer, the Huawei support staff clearly said Android Pistachio in relation to a query about software updates in Poland, as seen in the image below: While simply Pistachio might not make sense to most people, considering the fact that Google is known for naming its Android version after desserts, a previous report might help. Back in February, Bloomberg had reported that Android P would be called Android Pistachio Ice Cream which makes more sense than just Pistachio. But we are sure you have other P-themed desserts in mind for...
