The Google Pixel 4 adopts 3D face unlock for the first time in the Pixel series, but the vast majority of apps out there only support fingerprint authentication. This is a big problem, because the new Google phones don’t actually offer fingerprint scanners. Fortunately, XDA developer SemonCat has created an Xposed module dubbed Fingerface that essentially brings face unlock support to these apps. The module, which requires root access, means you don’t have to wait for a developer to update their app to support the Pixel 4 face unlock function. Instead of waiting for devs to update apps to add Face Unlock support on Pixel 4, this guy took matters into his own hands by “proxying” the fingerprint API to the new biometrics API. Requires root, though.

Back in early 2018, Huawei made a clean break into flagship smartphone territory with the photography powerhouse Huawei P20 Pro . It was the first modern smartphone to boast a 40MP camera, along with a 3x telephoto lens, and Night Mode capabilities that are now commonplace. The phone sold well and went on to define Huawei as a top player in the mobile photography market. In the following year and a half, Huawei refined its photography capabilities with the Huawei Mate 20 Pro , P30 Pro , and the latest Mate 30 Pro .

According to an official Weibo post , the Mi CC9 Pro will pack a whopping 5,260mAh battery. This is slightly bigger than the leaked TENAA filing , and means it has the biggest battery of any Xiaomi phone in 2019 (edging out the 5,000mAh Redmi 8A ). It’s not quite as large as the Asus ROG Phone 2 ‘s 6,000mAh battery, but it should theoretically deliver two days of moderate usage nonetheless. Weibo/Xiaomi A big battery usually means you’ll need to wait a while to fully charge it, but Xiaomi is also bringing 30W wired charging to the Mi CC9 Pro. The brand says the phone will hit 58% capacity in just 30 minutes, and 100% juice in 65 minutes. It’s not th
