A few days ago, Google had officially announced Android 12 by uploading its source code to Android Open Source Project (AOSP). Not long after, Chinese smartphone brand, Xiaomi, was quick to kick start its beta program for the Mi 11, Mi 11 Pro, and Mi 11 Ultra. However, the bad news is, the early build of the operating system update seems to be turning the devices into bricks.

Today, Google has finally uploaded the source code of Android 12 to the Android Open Source Project (AOSP), which means that the latest operating system update is official now. Meanwhile, the company has also announced that several Android smartphone brands will upgrade their devices in the next few weeks. Xiaomi and its sub-brand Redmi are on the list, and they have also revealed which devices will get the update first.

Xiaomi could be gearing up to launch another smartphone soon. According to the source, the next device could be the Chinese company's first to have a 4K display, joining the Sony Xperia 1 III to bring such display tech specs.

After Xiaomi launches a CyberDog, another Chinese company is continuing the trend by developing a robotic unicorn. According to the source, Chinese electric vehicle maker Xpeng's upcoming robot will target the children market by being rideable. Not only that but there are also other features that you might be interested, as an adult.

It looks like Xiaomi is going to great lengths to make its upcoming flagships mobile photography powerhouses. We already have some news about the Xiaomi 12 series, which is expected to have a model with 3x 50MP cameras. But there's apparently a more powerful one with a 200MP camera.
