Xiaomi took the wraps off the Redmi Note 4X Hatsune Miku limited edition smartphone in China today. Based on the information the company shared with the public, the newly announced smartphone is identical to the Redmi Note 4 (Indian version) but will appeal to all fans of the Japanese hologram pop star.

 The company will announce pricing details closer to launch, which is scheduled for February 14. We do know some specs though: 5.5-inch Full HD display, Snapdragon 625, 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of expandable storage. There’s a 4,100 mAh battery and a 13MP/5MP camera combo with a fingerprint scanner on the back.
The special edition Hatsune Miku Note 4X will be available in a quite a few different colors including Hatsune Green, Champagne Gold, Matte Black, Cherry Powder, and Platinum Silver. Strangely, this version of the Note 4X doesn’t match up with some rumored high-end specs for a device with that same name.
Xiaomi has partnered with Crypton Future Media, the creator of Hatsune Miku, to launch the device. Customers who purchase the special edition smartphone will also get a Hatsune Miku branded case for the device as well as a limited edition Mi power bank with the purchase.
As already mentioned, more details regarding the smartphone will be revealed on Valentine’s day, February 14.

Why SpaceX wants to put 4,425 internet satellites into space

Elon Musk is not one to let setbacks slow him down, even when setbacks involve the explosion of a rocket containing cargo precious to fellow tech billionaire Mark Zuckerberg. As of this week, SpaceX, where Musk is CEO, is back in the business of launching rockets. And Musk is pushing ahead on his outsize ambitions for the company. After 17 successful launches between 2012 and 2015, SpaceX initially planned to launch 20 rockets in 2016. Largely because of the aforementioned explosion — the company’s second rocket loss in two years — it managed only eight. On Twitter, Musk called the Sept. 1 incident “the most difficult and complex failure we have ever had.” But if last year ended on a sour note for SpaceX, 2017 is starting off with more promise. After spending months investigating and resolving the issues that caused the September explosion, the company launched a Falcon 9 on Jan. 14, deployed 10 satellites, and successfully re-docked the rocket booster at sea. The satellites are...

Xiaomi Mi A1 review

If you’ve been tempted by Xiaomi’s often well-designed smartphones, but put off by the custom MIUI “theme” layered over the Android software; then the Xiaomi Mi A1 is the answer to your problems. There are no software tweaks from Xiaomi because the Mi A1 runs Android One  — the Google operating system designed for low- and mid-range phones. It promises regular software and security updates, like a Google Pixel smartphone, plus all the usual Goo gle apps including the Google Play Store pre-installed. In our Xiaomi Mi A1  review, we explain how it’s not just the software that’s a winner, but the hardware too. There is one glaring flaw we should mention first: The lack of 4G LTE support in the U.S. The Xiaomi Mi A1, even the so-called Global version, won’t connect to GSM 4G networks in the U.S., meaning you’ll have to make do with 3G speeds. Buyers in the U.K. and much of Europe will be fine. We’ve had ours running on the O2 network in the U.K. without issues. Great specs,...
