The Xiaomi Poco F1 is an interesting device. It was launched a week ago in India , and a couple of days back, Xiaomi announced its availability in 65 countries . The Poco F1 (also known as the Pocophone F1) is the first phone from Poco, a new Xiaomi sub-brand. It has a high-end list of specifications including the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 system-on-chip, 6GB/8GB of RAM with 64GB/128GB/256GB storage, 6.18-inch Full HD+ (2246×1080) notched IPS LCD with 18.7:9 aspect ratio, dual 12MP + 5MP (depth sensing) rear cameras, 20MP front-facing camera, and a 4,000mAh battery. The phone ships with MIUI 9 for Poco on top of Android 8.1 Oreo, and the company has stated that it will soon receive the Android Pie-based MIUI 10 update.

Interestingly, the Poco F1 is not a standard Xiaomi phone when it comes to software. Instead of running the standard version of MIUI, the phone runs a customized version called “MIUI for Poco,” which comes with an app drawer, search in the app drawer, and 20 system optimizations. The standard version of MIUI does not have an app drawer, which generally leads users to download a third-party launcher to get back the functionality. With the Poco F1, they don’t have to download a third-party launcher anymore.

At launch, Xiaomi stated that the Poco F1’s Poco Launcher would be made available on the Play Store for Xiaomi devices. A version of the Poco Launcher was pulled from the phone along with the phone’s wallpapers , but it doesn’t work with all functions. The Poco F1 went on sale today at 12PM IST, and all available variants are already out of stock. Right on time, the company has released the kernel source code for the phone . Now, the Poco Launcher is available on the Play Store for Xiaomi devices.

How to change the PIM of a VeraCrypt volume

The developers of VeraCrypt introduced Personal Iterations Multiplier (PIM) functionality in the encryption program in version 1.12 . PIM stands for "Personal Iterations Multiplier". It is a parameter that was introduced in VeraCrypt 1.12 and whose value controls the number of iterations used by the header key derivation function. PIM is used by volumes even if the creator of the volume did not specify a value. It is an optional component that improves security: it adds another step to the authentication process similarly to two-factor authentication. The main difference is that the PIM value is fixed and not generated on the fly when requested. An attacker needs to know the master password and the PIM, if not set to default, to breach the encryption successfully and access the content of the drive or partition. A couple of good reasons exist to change the PIM value: It was leaked or stolen. The default value is used and that is not as secure as using a custom PIM. Yo...

Realme U1 with MediaTek Helio P70 launched in India for ₹11,999

Realme is an emerging smartphone brand in India, with a focus on budget and early mid-range segments. Realme started off as an online-only sub-brand of OPPO, but then later on, became its own separate brand . Realme devices ar seen to undercut the competition on their price value, and hence, coming up as viable alternatives despite the infancy of the brand. To keep up the pressure, Realme has now launched the Realme U1, the first smartphone with MediaTek’s Helio P70 SoC , in India. Realme U1 is the first smartphone in the company’s U series, which in-turn is the lineup that will be focused on photography. The rest of the company’s lineup includes the C series, the numbered series and the Pro series. The Realme U1 is being touted as “India’s Selfie Pro”, mainly because of its front camera — a single 25MP Sony IMX576 sensor with an f/2.0 aperture and 1.8-micron pixels. There’s software features like an AI Beauty+ mode that is optimized for Indian complexions, a Smarter Groupie featur...

The 5 Best Free IPTV Apps to Watch Live TV on Android

It’s easier than ever to watch on-demand TV shows and movies on your Android device. But what about live TV? Yes, there are services like Sling and PlayStation Vue. However, if you know where to look, you don’t need to subscribe to their expensive plans. You can use free IPTV instead; you just need an IPTV app and an IPTV source. What Is an IPTV App? IPTV apps are a bit like Kodi; they are empty shells that can’t stream any content without some user input. You have the responsibility for adding channels, playlists, and other sources. Typically, you cannot use the apps to watch Netflix, Hulu, or direct content from other third-party providers.
