The untouchable Sony WH-1000XM3 appears to have a new successor close on its heels, the Sony WH-1000XM4. According to image and manual leaks noticed by Everton Favretto, Sony’s anticipated headset will introduce hands-free access to virtual assistants like Google and Alexa as well as improved battery life. No need to be dubious of the source: the photos and manual were filed by Anaetal, which is Brazil’s equivalent of the FCC. Here are the most important takeaways from the leaked document: the Sony WH-1000XM4 appears to support hands-free access to virtual assistants, as indicated by the sentence, “quando a configuração de comutação automática do speak to chat está ativada,” which roughly translates to “when the automatic speak to chat switching setting is enabled,” later citing both Google Assistant and Alexa .

Xiaomi Xiaomi officially announced the Xiaomi Mi 10 and Mi 10 Pro in the first half of February. Shortly after, the company released the device in China, while a global launch was slated for Mobile World Congress 2020 . Thanks to MWC’s cancelation , the Mi 10 series’ launch was postponed, and we had yet to hear the company announce a new launch date until today. A post by the official Xiaomi Twitter account reveals the company has rescheduled the launch date for March 27, 2020. Though the tweet doesn’t explicitly say this is the Xiaomi Mi 10 series’ launch event, it’s pretty obvious. The company designed a not-so-subtle 10 in the graphic and included the #Mi10 hashtag. Enough waiting! See you on March 27th! Make sure you tune in to get all the details. #Mi10 #LightsCameraAction pic.twitter.com/8nNJ4Alyth — Xiaomi (@Xiaomi) March 6, 2020 The tweet doesn’t tell us when the devices will be available following the event, but we hope customers won’t have to wait for too long.

The deal only covers the Just Black version of the device, but you can always change the color with a case . While you’re limited by your color choice, you aren’t limited by what the Pixel can do. You can enjoy the powerful Pixel 4 XL camera and use Night Sight to your heart’s content. You can also rely on Google Assistant to help you get through your day with texts, Quick Gestures, and more. Carriers are working on ways to defeat robocalls , but the Pixel 4 XL takes it a step further. Google Assistant will help to filter out spam before your phone even rings. If you’re a power user, you can also play all day with the adaptive battery and quick-charge capabilities. Since this is a record low price on Amazon, the larger-capacity Google Pixel 4 XL could sell-out very quickly. You can grab yours for $750 via the...

Xiaomi has confirmed to Android Authority that the first and only UK Mi Store is no longer open for business. The store, which was located in the Westfield shopping center in Sheperd’s Bush, London, officially closed on March 5, 2020.
