The first shots of the Mi MIX 4 sub-screen camera appeared on the web

Apparently, Mi MIX 4 will be the first smartphone, with a sub-screen front camera, which will appear in mass sale. Samsung and LG have already shown their achievements in this area, but these were just test samples, Xiaomi also plans to put the idea into practice.
The Gizchina portal has published pictures of the front panel of the test model of the Mi MIX 4 smartphone, which shows what the front camera hidden under the screen will look like. As conceived by the developers, the light will enter the camera’s sensor through the pixels of the screen, which at some point will simply turn off. Thus, the display of the device will not affect the quality of the images.

Once the camera work was perhaps the weakest point of Xiaomi smartphones, but with the advent of the 108-megapixel sensor and sub-screen camera, the situation was corrected.

Undeletable Trojan continues to terrorize Android devices with outdated software

Anti-virus specialists have been aware of the Android.Xiny Trojan and its derivatives for several years. In addition to the fact that after appearing in a smartphone, he begins to “live his own life”, subordinating a smartphone to it, so removing it seems almost impossible to do.
The other day, Doctor Web published a report in which he spoke in detail about a dangerous trojan. Xiny strikes smartphones with Android 5.1 and older. Thanks to numerous holes, the Trojan quickly gets root-rights and then actively installs adware and malware on the device.
Fortunately, in the new versions of the Android system, the virus’s vital functions are closed, however, about a quarter of Android smartphone owners still use outdated software.

Samsung head embarrassed at conference, overestimating Galaxy Fold sales

Ten months have passed since the announcement of the bendable smartphone Samsung Galaxy Fold, but it is still considered one of the most striking and non-standard devices released in the last few years. True, the owners had to pay a fairly high price for the pleasure of using a folding display - about two thousand dollars.
Not so long ago, a TechCrunch Disrupt conference took place in Berlin, at which the head of the South Korean company announced a million sold foldable smartphones. True, this figure caused serious discussion on the Internet and, apparently, does not correspond to the truth, since the expensive gadget was originally planned to be implemented in the amount of half a million units.
Most analysts did not believe that a million bendable devices were sold, however, the actual volumes of Galaxy Fold implementation are now not understood at all.

Xiaomi Mi 9 had to clear data after changing the wallpaper

The usual procedure for replacing wallpaper turned out to be a serious problem for one of the owners of the Xiaomi Mi 9 smartphone. Instead of the aesthetic pleasure of the new desktop design, the owner encountered an unforeseen trouble - the device stopped working in normal mode and switched almost to strobe mode, starting to blink and vibrate.

At the forum where this story was published, the device owner was told that one of the reasons for such a strange behavior of the smartphone could be the SIM card problem, well, or MIUI caught a “glitch”.

21 European countries will use Huawei's 5G equipment, despite US persuasion

The Chinese manufacturer Huawei is one of the main players in the 5G-equipment market, however, the trade war between China and the United States puts sticks in the wheel of its activities. Moreover, the American government is doing everything possible to limit the company's activities not only in the States, but also in the allied countries of Europe.
The Trump administration strongly recommended not using the services of a Chinese company to deploy a new generation of communication networks, however, apparently, these recommendations remained unheard. More than two dozen European countries have entered into a preliminary agreement with the Chinese giant on the use of its equipment, including Russia, Italy, Germany, France and the UK.
According to experts, many mobile operators have been working closely with Huawei for many years and are not ready at the request of the United States to change the time-tested equipment supplier.

123123 Tops Worst Passwords

The password serves to protect personal confidential data, and the more complicated it is, the more information is protected. However, many users are very frivolous about inventing passwords, and they use fairly simple combinations of numbers and letters.
The other day, SplashData conducted a study whose purpose was to identify the weakest passwords. As a result of the work, the experts rated the combinations, which are not recommended for use as passwords. The most common and, accordingly, the most unreliable are sequences of numbers, starting from one: "123123", "12345", "1234567" and so on.
The most weak passwords included iloveyou, qwerty, and password. The company's specialists advise everyone who found their password in this rating to urgently change it, since attackers crack such a password very quickly. In addition, users are strongly discouraged from creating the same password for different sites or for multiple accounts.
