Xiaomi Mi 9 SE gets Moon mode in latest MIUI update

For some odd reason taking pictures of the moon with a smartphone is a thing. Huawei was the first to start this moon race with the P30 Pro and Xiaomi was quick on its heels by adding the feature to its flagship Mi 9. After pondering with moon photography with the flagship Mi 9, it seems the more affordable Mi 9 SE is next in line for a dedicated moon mode with the latest MIUI update. If you wanna test out the feature, you'll need to head over the camera app on your Mi 9 or Mi 9 SE and slide to the AI mode. Then adjust the zoom to 4x and you should see a Moon mode toggle appear....

Xiaomi teases a triple camera smartphone for India

Xiaomi just teased a new phone with a triple-camera setup on its Indian community forum. The image shows single, dual and triple cameras but it would be strange if Xiaomi is even mentioning the latter option if it's not the one it's releasing. Nothing else has been disclosed in the forum post, but we have our suspicion of some of the specs. Going by the the report from yesterday, which claims that Xiaomi is readying three smartphones with Snapdragon 7XX, this one could be the so-called Pyxis. And if we look back even further, the company's VP teased a handset last month with...
