MIUI 11 is the newest big release for Xiaomi smartphones, perhaps even bigger than an Android version jump. Features on Xiaomi devices are dictated more by their MIUI versions than the underlying Android version, so an MIUI version upgrade is an exciting event. MIUI 11 was announced in China in September 2019, bringing along new features such as animated AOD and Horizon Light for supported devices, new font, dynamic sound system, Mi Work and Mi Go app suites, and more changes. The first batch of MIUI 11 Betas was available for a bunch of devices, and over the next few weeks, devices like the Redmi K20 have begun receiving their stable MIUI 11 updates. Now, Xiaomi has officially confirmed that stable MIUI 11 update is rolling out to the Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro, Redmi 7, Redmi Note 5 Pro and the Poco F1.

The update for the Redmi Note 7 and Poco F1 is rolling out to all devices in a staged manner, while Xiaomi should be making the announcement soon for the Redmi Y3, Redmi 7 and Redmi Note 5 Pro. You can wait for the update to land on the device. Or as an alternative, you can also sideload the update onto your phone using the download links provided below. Even though these are official update files, it is always a good idea to back up the important data on your phone.

You should be able to install the updates on your device by yourself using the local update method. Download the Recovery ROM for your region, place it in your root directory. Then navigate to Settings > About Phone > System Update and then tap on the MIUI icon 7 times. This should reveal the “Choose update package” option in the three-dot menu. Select the option, and then select the file you download and hit “OK”.

Here are some screenshots of the update from my Redmi Note 7 Pro:

Xiaomi’s MIUI 11 rollout has been difficult to track so far, mainly because of the confusing update naming convention and the different updates across multiple regions. Adding to this complexity is the fact there appears to be a very thin demarcation between builds that are only intended for the Mi Pilot beta testing program, meaning that builds assigned for this group will not install on devices with Mi Accounts that do not have the requisite permission. The same builds then get opened up as stable release, creating a lot of confusion — for instance, the same build linked above first failed to install on my Redmi Note 7 Pro, but then appeared through the OTA with the MIUI 11 Beta icon. If you get the error message that the update is for closed beta testers only, you can sideload the update through TWRP.

The Nubia Z20’s dual screen setup is unexpectedly pointless

The Nubia Z20 was announced a while back, making headlines by offering a really unique and interesting concept: it has two screens, one on the front and one on the back. The idea was to get rid of the popup or front cameras by letting you flip your phone around to the back screen when you need to take a selfie. This is such a huge change from how we normally use phones, I had to jump at the opportunity to test it out for a few weeks. However, after using it for a bit, I can confidently say that this is the most annoying and least useful gimmick I’ve seen in a long time. In fact, it even interferes with core facets of the user experience that I took for granted.

Unlike other dual-screen phones like the Galaxy Fold, LG V50, LG G8x, or ZTE Axon M, this isn’t to make usability better. Instead, Nubia added a second display to the back to ensure that there is no hole punch, notch, top bezel,  popup camera and so on. And with two screens, you only get one rear camera: that means the back display is your front display while you are using the front (rear) facing cameras. Besides the dual display, the Nubia Z20 is exactly the same as any other AOSP based phone. It has very little custom software besides for the Red Magic gaming mode and a blue light filter. So far, this sounds pretty nifty, right? I expected it to be as cool as it seemed, but I was disappointed.

Specifications Nubia Z20
Size 158.63×75.26×9mm; 186g
Software Android 9.0 (Pie) with nubia UI 7.0
SoC Snapdragon 855 Plus (1 x Kryo 485 at 2.96GHz + 3 x Kryo 485 at 2.42GHz + 4 x Kryo 385 at 1.8GHz) 7nm Mobile Platform with 675MHz Adreno 640 GPU
RAM and storage
  • 6GB LPDDR4X RAM with 128GB storage (UFS 3.0)
  • 8GB LPDDR4X RAM with 128GB storage (UFS 3.0) / 512GB storage (UFS 3.0)
Battery 4000mAh with 27W fast PD charging, Quick Charge 4.0
Front Display 6.42-inch (1080 × 2340 pixels) 19.5:9 FHD+ AMOLED curved glass display
Rear Display 5.1-inch (1520 × 720 pixels) HD+ AMOLED
Ports USB Type-C port, dual SIM slots
Security Dual side-mounted fingerprint sensors
Rear cameras
  • 48MP rear camera with 1/2.25″ Sony IMX586 sensor, 0.8um pixel size, f/1.7 aperture, dual-LED flash, OIS
  • 16MP 122.2° ultra-wide camera, 2.5cm macro
  • 8MP telephoto lens for 3x lossless zoom and 30x digital zoom
Colors Black, Blue, Red

The design of the rear display, which I consider the most “important” display on this device (since it’s what could get you to buy this phone over its competitors), is fairly simple. It is a small 5.1-inch curved AMOLED display located directly under the camera sensors at the top of the “bezel.” It has a resolution of 720 x 1520 pixels with an aspect ratio of 19:9, making it a bit taller than the average main display. It also means a measly PPI of 330, yet that’s not the worst considering this is just the extra panel. As for viability, this rear display has a maximum brightness of 330 nits, essentially meaning the rear display is useless in direct sunlight.

nubia z20

As for the actual display, it is covered in a coating that makes it mimic the rear color of the phone while not in use. Thus, while the screen is off, the always-on display can turn on. and instead of showing white text and icons on a black slab, it will appear as if it’s projected onto the colored back of the phone. Pretty cool, huh? This surprisingly didn’t affect colors on the display much, although it’s not like that would matter — you aren’t supposed to stare at this for tens of minutes at a time or consume media on it.

nubia z20

Nubia also included two fingerprint scanners, which is actually pretty smart. On both the left and right sides of the phone, you will find a dual fingerprint and power button. You can unlock and lock with both sides, so you can always use the same finger to unlock the device no matter which display you are using.

nubia z20 nubia z20

The Nubia Z20 dual-screen software is actually very limited. There is only one real dual-screen software feature, a constant floating button that lets you swap screens. That’s pretty much it. Seriously, that is all you get beyond the aforementioned always-on functionality. Even though they’ve invested so much on such a unique form factor with great (hardware) execution, it seems like they had not figured out any ways to exploit this back display beyond using it for the rear camera or as a passive always-on display. Why would anyone swap displays and use the back panel over the decidedly and markedly superior front display?

After I sent the device back, it actually got a software update that automatically switches between the front and back display just by flipping the phone over. That’s a nifty feature (assuming it works well enough to not get on your nerves), but again, is that all that they can offer?

The Nubia Z20 has you go through extra steps to arrive at a worse user experience

To make things worse, the dual-screen experience isn’t even that great! At first, it seems like it will be fine and dandy: just flip around the screen when you need to use the back display, for whatever crazy reason. For a good bit of time, this is fine, it feels new and futuristic. But it won’t take long for you to realize that there is no real reason to willingly switch to this display. And then, you start trying to use video calling apps or Snapchat, or just want to test the camera with a selfie. This is where it just becomes annoying. Sending a quick pic or snapping a quick selfie goes from a two-second process of opening the app and hitting the shutter to swapping the display, turning the Nubia Z20 around, then opening the app and hitting the shutter. If you are outside when it’s even a little sunny, you won’t even be able to see the display because it just doesn’t get bright enough!

nubia z20

On other phones, the user experience is designed so that the phone adapts to your usage — at least, that’s what companies aim for. It’s nice because, when you want to use a feature, it is just there for you, ready to roll. To have to adapt to the phone – to have to go through extra steps to then arrive at a worse experience –  is just a weird change that is not just unwanted: it turns me off of the phone. Having to use a smaller display along with pressing the switch screen button is a pointless and shockingly tedious change from other phones that far outweighs the initial coolness of the form factor. The functionality outstays its welcome, and in the end, it’s just not worth it.

There is yet another issue with the cameras: unsurprisingly, they aren’t that great. Their outputs are very soft, lacking almost any fine detail. That essentially means that even without a beauty mode, it will be super soft and look as though there was a (poor) beauty mode filter. So, let’s recap: you must physically turn the phone around, going out of your way by manually flipping the device, to access a poor camera setup on a terrible display. If there were any other advantages to the form factor, such as the inclusion of useful features that I’m currently not able to conceive (but hey, that’s their job, not mine) then maybe, these compromises wouldn’t sting this badly. But I doubt it. This is definitely the flashiest way to achieve a full screen, bezeless front, and it’s also the worst I’ve used.

Nubia Z20 vs OnePlus 7 Pro Camera Samples

Beyond the dual-screen gimmick, the Nubia Z20 is entirely average and not really an attractive buy. It is interesting and definitely an eye-catching product, but there really is no incentive or advantage to this design. The front display on the phone is fine, but the usability of the phone is compromised when you have to go out of your way or go through unnecessary motions to use something as basic as the camera. Even with the good specs, it just doesn’t feel like a compelling buy.

Ring Master is an app that can vibrate first and gradually ring for phone calls

Earlier this year in July, we discovered a new feature called Ramping Ringer exclusive to Pixel phones on Android 10. The feature essentially vibrates the phone for a few seconds before gradually increasing the ringtone volume for incoming calls. Google officially rolled out the feature early last month, however, it was still limited to Pixel devices. In case you have a Pixel device, I’m sure you’ve already spotted the new feature in the Sound settings. But for those of you who don’t, I have some good news. Ring Master is a new app from XDA Senior Member Apptuners that allows you to set up a similar ringtone experience on your phone.

The app works almost exactly like the Ramping Ringer feature and vibrates your device for a couple of seconds before gradually increasing the ringtone volume whenever you receive an incoming call. But, unlike the feature on Pixel device, Ring Master has a few tricks up its sleeve. The app gives you complete customization access and lets you set a custom vibrate duration, ringer duration, and volume percentage. On top of that, the app even works for incoming calls on messenger apps like WhatsApp or Google Duo, something that Ramping Ringer currently doesn’t support. I tried the app on my Galaxy S10e and it seems to work flawlessly for both phone calls and WhatsApp calls.

You can try it out for yourself by downloading it from the link below. The app is free to use if you use it in its default configuration. But if you wish to use any of the customization options, you’ll have to upgrade to the Pro version. On the bright side, Ring Master lets you try the configurations before you go ahead and make the purchase which is definitely a nice touch.
