A triple chamber as a single module and a cooling system for which there are questions. Official teardown of Xiaomi Mi 11
In the Chinese social network Weibo, a video of the official disassembly of the company’s latest flagship, Xiaomi Mi 11, has been published. Apparently, it is not difficult to disassemble the Mi 11 by screws, as well as to assemble it later: the main components in the device, judging by the last frames, are only 13.
After “removing” the cover, the most interesting design element of the Mi 11 is the camera. It is not divided into modules here, but goes to the whole block. It uses sensors Samsung ISOCELL HMX (108 MP), Samsung S5K5E9 (5 MP, macro) and OmniVision OV13B10 (13 MP, combined with an ultra wide-angle lens).
Further, the motherboard located in the upper part is removed from the smartphone. And underneath is a cooling system with a fairly large copper vapor chamber covering both the Snapdragon 888 SoC, RAM, and UFS 3.1 flash. The only problem is that the vapor chamber is, in fact, between the motherboard and the display. Yes, of course there is a copper film that goes under the cover, but is it enough to remove all the heat generated by the Snapdragon 888? Maybe it is precisely in the cooling system hidden deep inside that the reason for the serious heating of the smartphone lies?
Interestingly, the Snapdragon 888 and memory chips are thoroughly laced with glue – this, logically, should improve the protection of the smartphone from moisture ingress. But, again, how does this affect heat distribution?
We also learn from the disassembly that the Mi 11 uses a BM4X lithium polymer battery manufactured by Xinwangda Electronics Co.

For the first time in the history of Xiaomi. The latest flagship Xiaomi 13 Ultra will receive a variable aperture lens
Insider Digital Chat Station told something about the camera of the promising flagship Xiaomi 13 Ultra. According to the informant, a lens with a variable aperture will be prescribed in it. This technology will be introduced for the first time in a Xiaomi mobile phone.
A first for Xiaomi, but variable aperture lenses are nothing new for Huawei. Perhaps, in the case of Xiaomi, such a lens will be installed in a module with a 1-inch Sony IMX989 main sensor. As for the front camera, it is expected to use a 32-megapixel sensor and a wide-angle lens.
Previously, Digital Chat Station was the first to accurately announce the specifications and release dates of Redmi K50 and Xiaomi 12.
The Chinese resource ITHome announced when phones of the once flagship Xiaomi Mi 10 line will receive MIUI 14. This will happen in April this year. Moreover, the update will be based on Android 13, not Android 13.
The firmware will be released for Xiaomi Mi 10, Mi 10 Pro and Mi 10 Lite. It is also noted that recently Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro, Xiaomi 11 Lite and Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE received the latest version of MIUI 13.
Xiaomi previously officially confirmed that the devices of the Mi 10 line will receive MIUI 14. But the date or at least the approximate date for the release of the firmware was not indicated. It should be noted that in April MIUI 14 will be released for Xiaomi Mi 10 in China, but in other regions it will obviously appear later.

We waited two months and we will wait another two weeks. AMD told when it will release a new driver for Radeon RX 6000 and other cards (older)
AMD top manager Frank Azor, who is responsible for the direction of gaming solutions, promised users of 3D cards Radeon RX 6000 and older a new Adrenaline driver: it will appear within two weeks.
The situation, if not extraordinary, is rather strange: since the release of the Radeon RX 7000 line, the company has consistently updated the driver for them four times already, while for models based on the RDNA2 architecture (that is, the Radeon RX 6000) and older, not a single driver has been released.
In general, the company adheres to the strategy of releasing a unified Adrenaline driver for all models of its video cards (at least for those based on the RDNA3 and RDNA2 architectures), and Frank Azor once again confirmed this. But only recently the implementation of this strategy has stalled.
