Weibing congratulated Xiaomi for its successful business in China and then threw a question at company’s fans asking whether they would like to see a Redmi TV.

Not only in China, Xiaomi TV business is also booming in India. Recently, Xiaomi announced an Early Access Program for its Xiaomi Mi TV 4A series of televisions.

Google Sound Amplifier app now available on devices running Android 6 and above

Google announced its Sound Amplifier app back in February this year, which works with headphones to improve the audio experience on phones. The accessibility app was initially announced on Android 9 Pie and came pre-installed on Pixel 3 phones. Now, Google is updating the app to not only support more devices but to enable users to have a better idea of how the app works after tweaking its settings. The latest version of the app now supports devices running Android 6 Marshmallow and above and comes with some controls to help users get the best out of the app.

Those who install the app will need to plug-in headphones to use it. Once the app is booted, they will get to customise frequencies to augment and amplify sounds around them and filter background noise as well. The app is touted to increase quiet sounds while not over-boosting loud noise. The app’s main interface consists of two sliders that enable boosting and fine-tuning audio. One can also adjust it separately for each ear. In addition, to enable users to better understand how the app is working, Google has added a visualisation tool that reacts as per the changes made to the settings.

“Sound Amplifier is an Android Accessibility app that helps people hear more clearly, and now it’s available on Android devices running Android 6.0 Marshmallow and above. Using machine learning, we sorted through thousands of publicly available hearing studies and data to understand how people hear in different environments and created a few simple controls,” states Google in a blog post. The app is added as an accessibility option after installation and can be accessed from Settings > Accessibility > Sound Amplifier.

In related news, Google has introduced its new Gallery Go app, which is a stripped-down, lightweight version of the Photos app. The new app works offline and is aimed at less-powerful handsets and people who are transitioning to a smartphone. As mentioned, the Gallery Go app doesn’t need data to work and it can also be used to edit, manage, and find images stored on a device. The app is capable of automatically sorting different types of images and it supports SD card detection as well.

The Gallery Go app costs less than 10MB and it works on devices running Android 8.1 Oreo and above. The new app launches come soon after the standard Photos app was updated to be more dynamic and showcase better auto-generated stories with moving images, and an overall cleaner interface. While scrolling through the app, one will now get to see short video clips playing automatically and this apparently works well while viewing a completely zoomed-in view of the app.

Huawei Mate 30, Mate 30 Pro screen protectors leak, suggest return of wide notch

There have been several leaks and renders hinting at what the Huawei Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro will look like. Now, there’s a new leak showing the alleged screen protectors of the upcoming Mate 30 series smartphones. The alleged screen protectors have shown up as images on Weibo. The images show a wide notch with multiple holes in it. Hence, the upcoming phones could be packed with multiple sensors for Face recognition features. According to the leaks even the Mate 30 could come equipped with a wide notch.

In terms of design, the images show dual-edge curved displays for both smartphones. However, the curvature for both screen protectors seems to be slightly different. If the phones are launched with the curved displays, they will be the first non-Pro series phones to feature curved screens. Additionally, the Mate 30 Pro is said to come with COP (chip-on-plastic) technology for its display.

A careful look at the size of both notches shows that the sensor arrangement on both phones might be slightly different. Also, the Mate 30-series notch looks slightly narrower than the Mate 20-series’ notch, its predecessor. Moreover, the bottom bezel looks quite slim as well.

Coming to the sensors, the notch of the Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro could house sensors for the facial unlock system like the Mate 20 Pro. Moreover, Gizmochina claims, “the images of the protective film have surfaced because the film manufacturing factories have started producing it.” Hence, it could be possible that the Mate 30 series has entered trial production phase.

According to the rumours, the Mate 30 Pro could feature a 6.71-inch quad HD+ display. It could be powered by a Kirin 985 chipset and paired with up to 12GB RAM. The smartphone could also pack a 4200mAh battery that may arrive with support for 55W fast charging. Also, there could be a 5G variant of the Mate 30 Pro. Both Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro could be launched in October.
