Xiaomi introduces a new concept phone with quad waterfall screens, no buttons, notches, or ports
When Xiaomi first showed off its thinly bezeled Mi Mix concept back in 2016, it became a template of sorts for phone manufacturers looking to produce phones with smaller bezels. But the Mi Mix concept was about more than the amazing (for the time) 91.3% screen to body ratio.

Xiaomi designers moved and removed the sensors located on the top of a phone allowing the bezels to be reduced in size.
Xiaomi introduces its new technology for true wireless charging
Imagine charging your phone by simply entering a room where a base station uses 144 antennas to shoot out mm waves to 14 antennas embedded inside your phone. These OTA signals are part of Xiaomi’s 5W Mi Air Charge Technology. In a blog post published today, Xiaomi says that the system will charge multiple devices at once while the charging waves travel through obstacles on the way to connect with devices. With the rectifier circuit, the 14 antennas in the phone help to convert the mm waves into the energy used to charge the battery in the device.

Speed up Chrome for Android with this simple tweak
Chrome for Android is one of the fastest and most feature-rich browsers for Android. But a persistent problem has ruined Google’s mobile browser for many users – janky scrolling. Especially since Google replaced the AOSP Browser with Chrome as the default browser on new Android devices, people have been complaining about a perceived lag when scrolling through web pages (except simple ones) or swiping and resizing. And it’s not a problem of hardware, as the old Browser was consistently performing better in this area even on two-year old devices.
