Xiaomi top manager recommends the standard version of Xiaomi 13 instead of the more expensive Xiaomi 13 Pro
Xiaomi top manager Zhang Guoquan said that since the Xiaomi Mi 10 series appeared on the market, he regularly chose the Pro model, but in this generation he recommends the standard version of Xaomi 13, citing specific reasons.
This smartphone received a flat screen with a record narrow frame on all four sides. Such a screen, according to him, provides a high effect of presence when watching movies and games. Now the smartphone is really almost frameless.
The smartphone received a high-quality coating of the back panel, which will retain its original appearance for a long time. Xiaomi 13 turned out to be a fairly light smartphone (189 g), which owners of heavy flagships will appreciate.
Zhang Guoquan stated. that it visually immediately stands out from the background of other phones that run Android, and the difference is obvious. The new phone turned out to be very energy efficient, it holds a charge for more than a day without any problems.
Finally, according to him, the smartphone received a very high-quality camera, which in many scenarios is not inferior to the Xiaomi 13 Pro camera. Don’t forget the price factor as well.
As it became known, sales of the new flagship smartphones Xiaomi 13 and Xiaomi 13 Pro will begin in China on December 14, that is, this Wednesday.
Today, several more photos were published that were taken on the camera of the flagship smartphone Xiaomi 13, as well as new live photos of the Xiaomi 13 smartphone.

Under lock and key: Google Chrome will ask for biometrics to access the password manager

Google has released an important security update for its Chrome browser.
Google Password Manager is pretty versatile as it allows you to sync all your saved passwords across mobile and desktop devices. Until now, the Chrome desktop browser used PINs and passwords to authenticate users before exposing stored data.
Now, if your computer (Windows and macOS) has an external or built-in biometric authentication system, such as a fingerprint scanner or a face scanner, you can use it to access data stored in the Chrome password manager.
It works pretty much the same as it does on Android tablet phones when accessing saved passwords in Chrome. Once authenticated, the user will be able to copy the saved password or edit the entry.
