It's easily one of the cheapest 14-inch laptops you can find with full sRGB coverage and a 3:2 2160 x 1440 resolution display. For each thing it does right, however, there are at least three other aspects that bring it all down.

Xiaomi claims to have added more RAM to the Redmi Note 10 Pro 5G with its latest software update

Xiaomi has rolled out a new update to the Redmi Note 10 Pro 5G, the latest entry in the Redmi Note 10 series. Xiaomi claims to have enabled more memory on the Redmi Note 10 Pro 5G, albeit only using virtual RAM. A simple change, perhaps, but one that has a certain 90s feel to it.

Mi Mix 4 set for August debut with a Snapdragon 888+ and under-display camera onboard

Three years after the release of the Mi Mix 3, Xiaomi is gearing up for the release of a direct successor, the Mi Mix 4. The Mi Mix 4 has now been tipped for an August launch, and could do that while playing host to a bunch of interesting technology, with the most notable of the lot being an under-display selfie camera.
