BREAKING: Proof that Xiaomi’s R&D Department is just a text editor as Xiaomi renames Tab 8 to Tab 9

UPDATE Xiaomi_Inventory SET Model_Name = 'Pad 9' WHERE Innovation_Level = 0 AND Original_Model = 'Pad 8'

git commit -m "Fixed bug where the Xiaomi tablet was accidentally an Tab 8 instead of Tab 9"

Xiaomi’s "innovation" has officially peaked at a basic find-and-replace job. Why bother with engineers when a developer with a backspace key can create a "next-gen" device in seconds. Firmware Code shows the "new" Pad 9 is just a global rebrand of the Pad 8, keeping the same ‘yupei’ codename throughout.

The code proves that at Xiaomi, 8 == 9 is a valid boolean if Lei Jun says so. Don't buy a Pad 9, just rename your Pad 8 in the settings and save yourself the cash.

[Add your feelings about this liquid glass UI on HyperOS 4]

Well, I bought a "damaged" 13T with no functioning camera. After an update 2 of them started working. So I'm sure it was also some update that broke it.

Xiaomi Ultras are so good that updates can literally break the biggest functionality you paid for, the camera:

Meme Magic Battery: The Lei Jun Special

On May 4th, the Redmi K90 Pro Max was just 24 charge cycles old when battery health already showed up at 95%.
Despite having a 7560mAh large battery, the device battery was already 5% down before it had even seen a full month of use. The service centre seemed like the logical next step, but logic has no place in the Xiaomi ecosystem.

And so the prayers went up to Lei Jun, and the blessings came down in the form of firmware miracles. May 12th brought a silent, unexplained jump to 97%, and May 14th quietly added one more point to make it 98%. No update, no explanation, just blessings materialising on a screen.

At this rate, a few more blessings from Lei Jun and the Redmi K90 Pro Max will stop drawing from the grid entirely and start giving back to it. Meme Magic Battery Power is real, and it is not to be taken lightly.

Xiaomi HyperOS 4: Monkey See, Monkey Hyper!

While Google, Samsung and other Chinese smartphone brands stayed away from adding a liquid glass mess to keep the user experience clean, Xiaomi will prove that they have NO ideas without Apple. They are the only company brave enough to steal the design everyone else hated except Huawei.

And before you say it, no, it's not a Redmi/Poco.
