Download: MIUI 12.5 Closed Beta for Xiaomi and Redmi devices [Update: Sep 3 builds]

The latest version of Xiaomi’s custom Android skin – MIUI 12.5 – is finally here. The first incremental update over MIUI 12 has been unveiled at the Mi 11 launch event in China. Compared to MIUI 12, the stable version of which was released less than six months ago, MIUI 12.5 brings in a slew of improvements, visual overhauls, and a handful of new features. We have already extracted the new live wallpapers, and now we are presenting the downloading links of the first set of MIUI 12.5 beta firmware packages for a bunch of Xiaomi, Redmi, and POCO devices.

It is worth mentioning that these closed beta builds are meant for the Chinese variants, as Xiaomi suspended the rollout of MIUI global beta last year. As a consequence, you have to flash these recovery ROMs using TWRP to bypass the MIUI beta account whitelisting. Do not expect Google Play Services or any pre-installed Google apps in them. Language options are likely limited to English and Chinese only, too.

The Best Xiaomi Phones to Buy

The beta MIUI 12.5 builds listed below are based on either Android 10 or Android 11, depending on the device. If you are looking for MIUI 12 stable releases, you can find those here.

Chrome’s latest experiment will make tab groups less annoying

Earlier in January, Google rolled out Tab Groups for Chrome for Android. Those who didn’t like the feature were able to disable it via a Chrome flag. But in Chrome 91, Google removed that flag, causing an uproar in the Chrome community. After countless requests and feedback from Chrome users, Google is finally making some big changes to the way Tab Groups work.

Google is experimenting with two new changes for the Tab Group feature in the Chrome Beta for Android. The first change is that links set to open automatically in a new tab will no longer create a group. Instead, the link will open in a separate new tab.

The second change adds a new “Open in new tab” option in the context menu that pops up when you long-press on a link, allowing users to open the link in a new tab. In the latest version of Chrome, new links can only be opened in a group.

“Our latest experiment for Tab Groups is available in the latest Chrome Beta version. In this experiment, links which open in a new tab will no longer automatically create a group as you browse. It also adds an option to open links in a new tab without creating a group from the long-press menu. You’ll still be able to create a tab group by dragging-and-dropping in the tab switcher, or by selecting “Open in new tab in group” from the link long-press menu, but you’ll only see one if you create it yourself,” wrote a Google employee in a post.

If you want to try out the new experiment, download the latest version of Chrome Beta for Android from the Google Play Store. Note that if this is the first time you’re downloading the Chrome Beta, you’ll have to keep Chrome Beta open for five minutes and then relaunch the app in order to activate this feature. Google hasn’t shared any timeline about when they plan to roll out these changes to everyone on the stable version.

Germany wants smartphone makers to offer 7 years of software updates

Apple is gearing up to roll out iOS 15 later this year. The company plans to roll it out to several of its devices, going all the way back to the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus. This will make Apple the only smartphone OEM to offer seven years of software updates to its devices. That’s a remarkable feat, considering that only a couple of OEMs on the Android side promise three years of OS upgrades and four years of security updates. To bridge this gap, the EU proposed a new law earlier this year that would force all smartphone OEMs to offer up to five years of security updates for their devices and deliver reasonably priced spare parts for the same duration.

Although the EU’s new right to repair laws are yet to go into effect, the German Federal Government has now announced plans to extend the support timeline by two years. A spokesperson for Germany’s Federal Ministry of Economics recently said (via Heise Online) that the government body plans to enforce stricter rules that would require OEMs to deliver spare parts and software updates for seven years. In addition, the Federal Government wants OEMs to publish the spare part prices and not increase them over time.

As far as the delivery times for spare parts is concerned, the German Federal Government wants to implement strict rules to ensure that OEMs deliver parts as quickly as possible. It argues that a lengthy repair time could force customers to opt for an exchange rather than a repair, defeating the purpose of the new regulations. As part of its right to repair laws, the EU plans a maximum delivery time of five working days. The German Federal Government is yet to finalize a delivery timeline.

What’s your take on the proposed legislation? Do you think forcing OEMs to deliver seven years of software updates and spare parts will prove beneficial for the smartphone industry as a whole? Would you want your government to enforce similar laws? Share your thoughts in the comments section below.

AT&T is giving customers affected by the 3G shutdown a free phone

Update 1 (09/05/2021 @ 03:10 PM ET): AT&T has confirmed that it is sending new devices to customers affected by the carrier’s 3G network shutdown, all of which are substantially better than the RADIANT Core. Click here for more information. The article, as published on June 15, 2021, is preserved below.

AT&T will shut down its 3G network by February next year. If you happen to have a device that won’t work on the network after the shutdown, you can now get your hands on a free replacement phone from the company.

Late last month, we shared a list of devices that will continue to work on AT&T after the 3G shutdown. If your device is not on the list, chances are you’ll need to get a replacement before February next year. Thankfully, AT&T is offering a free replacement phone (via Android Police) for those who want it.

To claim the free phone, you can head over to att.com/AcceptMyPhone, verify your phone number, and your new phone should arrive in the next few weeks. However, before you go ahead and do that, you should probably take a look at the replacement phone:

AT&T RADIANT Core front and back on white background

 

That’s an AT&T RADIANT Core, a budget phone from 2019 that was first introduced as a reasonable option for AT&T’s prepaid customers. It usually retails for $70, but it’s currently available at a 50 percent discount. The phone packs a 490p display, a single 5MP camera, 16GB of storage with a microSD card slot for expansion up to 64GB, 1GB of RAM, and a removable 2,500mAh battery. It runs Android 9 Pie out of the box and, as you’d expect, it supports VoLTE.

We wouldn’t recommend getting the RADIANT Core, even though AT&T is giving it away for free. It will likely be a massive downgrade for almost everyone affected by the 3G shutdown. It probably won’t last you very long either, so you’ll end up purchasing a new phone regardless. AT&T itself offers several other devices that cost around $100-$150 and offer VoLTE support. Alternatively, you can check out our list of the best cheap Android phones to pick a device that would better suit your needs.


Update 1: Surprise! AT&T is now sending better Android phones

AT&T customers who still rely on the carrier’s soon-to-be-dead 3G network have been getting free upgrades to new devices that are compliant with the carrier’s 4G LTE network. Flip phone users were getting newer flip phones, iPhone users were getting second-gen iPhone SE units, and Android users were getting the RADIANT Core. The RADIANT Core is a terrible device, though, and thankfully, it looks like AT&T is done giving them out.

According to AndroidPolice, the carrier has started to send out much better-specced Samsung phones as part of its process to get users off its 3G network. Some of the phones that people have been getting include the Galaxy Note 9, the Galaxy Note 10, the Galaxy S9, and the Galaxy A11s. All of these phones are better than the RADIANT Core, though some users are luckier than users. The reason that users are getting a variety of phones is due to inventory constraints, according to an AT&T spokesperson:

“We have not changed our plans to replace 3G network-dependent devices. However, inventory constraints mean we sometimes must find substitutes for some devices.”

This Week In Gaming: PlayStation’s future, Dead Space, and a day off Twitch

There have been a few interesting stories in the gaming industry this week, including footage of the new Dead Space, as well as Twitch streamers protesting the persistent raids of channels. There has been a rumor lately about Nintendo Switch Online getting Game Boy and Game Boy Color games, but those haven’t been confirmed yet.

Sony announces its showcase for next week

Sony seems like it’s finally prepared to start revealing some new games, or at least we can hope. They announced a summer showcase to be held next week. Sony says the show will feature news on upcoming games: “The Showcase will weigh in at around 40 minutes and include updates from PlayStation Studios and some of the industry’s most imaginative developers, for games releasing this holiday and beyond.”

As for what specifically will be at the event, the only thing we know for sure won’t be there is the next-gen PSVR, which Sony says it’s not ready to show yet. There are many likely titles that could make an appearance, including God of War: Ragnarok, Horizon Forbidden West, and possibly games that we haven’t seen yet. With the addition of “releasing this holiday,” there are also a few games we know of that could be shown, including Death Stranding Director’s Cut.

Motive gives us the first look at the Dead Space remake

Early in the week, the developers of the new Dead Space game, a complete remake of the original, showed off some footage of an early build of the game. Not only does it look amazing, but Motive have cranked up the gore by having the limb-cutting in the remake now include tearing flesh. Isaac Clarke will also have a voice in the remake, but the developers have said he’ll only speak in the game when spoken to.

It’s actually surprising to see how the graphics of the original Dead Space have aged, considering the game in isolation still looks pretty good. But when you compare it to the very early build of the game shown on the stream, it looks almost primitive. The new game will also feature a few additional features that were added in Dead Space 2, including Isaac’s flight boots. Proof of the pudding and all that, we’ll only know if this is a Resident Evil 2-style remake when we get it, but so far, it’s looking good.

China restricts children to just 3 hours of online gaming a week

China’s National Press and Publication Administration is rolling out stronger restrictions on how much children are allowed to game online: From now on, those companies who offer online games can only open their servers from 8-9 PM on Fridays, weekends, and public holidays. That means that, on most weeks, Chinese children will only be able to play online games for those three hours. I can only imagine how congested their servers are going to be.

Previously, the restrictions had limited children to only 1.5 hours every day, so this is pretty extreme. Naturally, major companies in the industry, such as Tencent, are chafing at this. Supposedly, this is to combat the growing problem of gaming addiction among Chinese children, and the country has always had a complicated relationship with games — a recent piece from a state-owned news outlet (translated by the New York Times) called them “spiritual opium.”

Twitch viewers take a day off to protest harassment raids

Twitch streamers facing harassment is a long-standing problem of the site, and lots of streamers have taken matters into their own hands by holding a virtual walk-out called #ADayOffTwitch. Several minority content creators were targeted by hate raids that overwhelm the stream chat with messages designed to evade automatic hate speech detection. The streamers want Twitch to take stronger measures to prevent this harassment, including the ability to deny raids (which really should be a feature, honestly).

This apparently did have an effect on Twitch viewership, as it dipped on the day of the walkout. Twitch responded to the protest with the statement: “No one should have to experience malicious and hateful attacks based on who they are or what they stand for, and we are working hard on improved channel-level ban evasion detection and additional account improvements to help make Twitch a safer place for creators.”

This week in Chrome OS: Tensor Chromebooks coming soon?

Happy 23rd birthday to Google! Google was officially born on September 4, 1998. Without Google, Chrome OS and this column wouldn’t be possible. If you’re interested, I wrote a piece on how Chrome as a browser killed Microsoft’s IE. We also have tons of other fun articles celebrating Google and Chrome’s birthday. For Google’s birthday, we have some news about the potential of a Tensor Chromebook coming soon.

The possibility of a Tensor Chromebook made by Google has me hyped. Microsoft is done with Android apps on Chrome OS, which might hamper your workflow. The HP Chromebook x2 11 is also now shipping from Best Buy and is available locally in many markets. Let’s talk about all of that and more, as we run down this week in Chrome OS.

Google Tensor Chromebook coming in 2023?

We already know that Google is putting custom chips, dubbed Tensor, in this year’s Pixel 6 lineup. When that information became public, I speculated that Chromebooks with Tensor chips might not be far behind. Earlier this week, it was revealed that Google is indeed working on custom CPUs for Chromebooks. Apparently, the new CPUs for Chrome hardware could arrive as early as 2023. Google Tensor chip

While we don’t know if these chips will share the Tensor name with the Pixel 6, it is awesome to see Google working on custom silicon for computers. Apple’s M1 chip is a huge hit and brought amazing performance and battery life gains to the Macbook lineup. With a custom chip, Google can focus on the Chromebook applications most important for user experience. I can hardly wait for the next Pixelbook at this point.

Microsoft ending Android app support for Office on Chrome OS

If you use Microsoft Office Android apps on your Chromebook, you’ll need to switch to webs apps soon. Microsoft recently announced they are ending support for Office Android apps in Chrome OS. Support for these apps will officially end on September 18. Microsoft is pushing Chrome OS users toward their Progressive Web App suite for Office. This is consistent with their policy of not allowing users to edit with mobile apps on larger screens, which certainly includes Chromebooks.

This screenshot shows Microsoft Office install page for Android.

The PWA version of each Office app isn’t too bad, but it does limit the options for working offline on your Chromebook. Currently, you can’t work while offline using Microsoft’s Office PWAs. This is a bummer for anyone that likes to use their Chromebook while not connected. Hopefully, Microsoft will come up with a solution for editing local files at some point.

HP Chromebook x2 11 shipping now and initial user reviews

If you’ve been following Chrome hardware news the past few weeks, you’ve definitely heard us talk about the HP Chromebook x2 11. This new Chrome tablet looks poised to be one of the best we’ve seen in a long time. HP went all out on this product, including a built-in USI stylus, keyboard with kickstand, and fingerprint scanner. The device also comes with a few new software tricks, including Google’s new Cursive app and HP’s QuickDrop functionality.

We’re currently waiting to receive a review unit from HP, but you can already buy the retail version of the HP Chromebook x2 11 from Best Buy. There are also several Best Buy stores around the country with current stock of the device. You might even be able to pick one up right now if you’re so inclined. HP Chromebook x2 11 Best Buy

Users seem impressed so far with the HP Chromebook x2 11. The reviews on Best Buy’s website are incredibly positive so far. Most people note that the Chromebook x2 11 has much more premium build than other Chrome OS tablet options like the ASUS CM3 and Lenovo Chromebook Duet. Overall, it looks like this tablet could be the go-to option for Chrome users for awhile.

Use Google’s new Cursive PWA right now

Speaking of the HP Chromebook x2 11, the new Cursive app from Google was supposed to be exclusive to that device at launch. Unfortunately for Google and HP, Cursive is a PWA, and the app was already outed by our friends over at Chrome Unboxed.Google' Cursive PWA on ASUS CX9

If you want to use the Cursive PWA on any Chromebook or other device, simply head to https://cursive.apps.chrome. The experience is a bit hit or miss, especially on devices that aren’t Chromebooks. When you visit the link, you’ll likely get a pop-up that the app is designed for Chromebooks, if you open it on another device. Even if you do open the app on a Chromebook other than the HP Chromebook x2 11, there are a few bugs here and there. I’ve tried the app on my Pixelbook Go and Galaxy Chromebook 2. Things worked much better on the newer Galaxy Chromebook 2, so your mileage may vary.

That’s all the big Chrome OS news for this week. I’m hoping to have the HP Chromebook x2 11 in hand for review soon. Look out for a fun piece on AMD vs Intel vs Qualcomm Chrome OS performance this week, it was a fun one to research and write.

    HP Chromebook x2 11
    The HP Chromebook x2 11 combines the power of Chrome OS with the portability of a traditional tablet. You can work anywhere thanks to the optional 4G LTE capability. This is the new top of the line Chrome OS tablet experience.
