5 features that make the Motorola One Vision the best multimedia smartphone

Be it watching videos, listening to music or taking photos, multimedia is central to our everyday smartphone experience. Any device these days is geared towards offering a good multimedia experience, but as time has progressed, we have come to expect more from our devices. It can’t be just “good”, it needs to be great. The newly launched Motorola One Vision aims to offer just that, a great multimedia experience. How does it manage to do it? Here are 5 features that make it a great multimedia smartphone. 1) 21:9 “CinemaVision” display The difference between a home theater and a real theater is not just the size of the room, it’s the wider aspect ratio as well, fondly referred to as the “CinemaVision”. For computers and TVs, widescreen content is generally 16:9, if you check your camera settings, this is the aspect in which we record too. However, we have been seeing smartphone displays move from this aspect to 18:9 first, then 19:9 and sometimes even 19.5:9 but watch any movie or even a trailer, you’ll end up with black bars on the top and bottom, making you wish for more. This is exactly the reason why the Motorola One Vision has a ...

Xiaomi Mi TV 4A 32-inch and 43-inch (2018) Android 9.0 (Pie) early access program registrations open

Xiaomi launched Mi TV 4A 32-inch HD ready and 43-inch Full HD models last year running Patchwall based on Android 6.0 (Marshmallow). These TVs didn't get any updates, even months after the company released new Android TV models running Android Oreo-based Patchwall. Today the company has started early access program to offer Android 9.0 (Pie) Android TV update directly to these users, skipping Android Oreo. Xiaomi also adds that it is the first TV brand in the country to roll out Android 9 update for its Mi TVs. The company said that it took time since it was working on new products and continue R&D efforts. This also involves risk of bricking when updating ROM based on Android 6.0 to the latest one, if electricity goes off during update process. Also the company added that Amlogic chip needed extended engineering work to support new Android TV images which are 7 or above. This also includes Android TV adding Play Store, built-in Chromecast support and Google Assistant, but Google Assistant won't work directly on these Mi TV 4A series TVs as these TVs don't support BLE and hence no voice remote support directly, but you can use your Android phones or Google Home devices to play movies etc ...
