How to Install MIUI

Depending on the type of the firmware you have downloaded, installation methods differ. If you have downloaded the fastboot flashable firmware, you can refer to How to switch between different MIUI variants content which explains how to flash a fastboot flashable. If it is a recovery flashable firmware, refer to How to install MIUI updates manually / early content. Keep in mind that a full backup of your data is recommended while flashing these ROMs as they will probably wipe your data. Also, for fastboot ROMs, a PC is required. For the recovery ROMs, flashing process might be different for each device. Please do a research before flashing it.

What’s Bluetooth Version Difference

The main Bluetooth versions differences are that the latest Bluetooth versions support higher data transfer speeds, have better connection range and stability, are more energy efficient, and offer better security than older Bluetooth versions. Of course bluetooth versions differences are not just that.

Bluetooth 1.0

When Bluetooth v1.0 was invented in 1998, it was a groundbreaking discovery. However, the technology was still immature and suffered from many problems such as lack of anonymity. By today’s standards, the technology is now obsolete.
Bluetooth v1.1 fixed some of the problems, but the biggest issues were addressed with the introduction of Bluetooth v1.2. Bluetooth versions differences is the key improvements included support for adaptive frequency hopping (AFH) spectrum, which reduces interference, faster transmission speeds of up to 721kbps, faster connectivity and detection, Host Controller Interface (HCI) and Extended Synchronous Connections (ESCO).

Bluetooth 2.0

Bluetooth v2.0 was released before 2005. The highlight of this standard was support for Enhanced Data Rate (EDR), which uses a combination of Phase Shift Keying Modulation (PSK) and GFSK to enable better data transfer speeds.
The technology was further enhanced with the release of Bluetooth v2.1. It now supported secure simple pairing (SSP), which improved security and the pairing experience, and enhanced query answering (EIR), which allowed better filtering of devices before establishing a connection.
Of all the classic Bluetooth versions, v2.1 was the most popular and widely used. This was due to its simplicity, longer range of 33 m instead of 10 m, and faster data transfer speed of up to 3 Mbit/s instead of 0.7 Mbit/s.

Bluetooth 3.0

Bluetooth v3.0 was released in 2009 and introduced high-speed mode (HS), which allowed theoretical data transfer speeds of up to 24 Mbps over a collocated 802.11 link. This technology introduced many new features, such as Enhanced Power Control, Ultra Wideband, L2CAP Enhanced Modes, Alternate MAC /PHY, Unicast Connectionless Data, etc. However, it suffered from one major drawback – high power consumption.Due to this drawback, devices using Bluetooth 3.0 consumed much more power than their predecessors, resulting in shorter battery life for Bluetooth-enabled devices. As a result, Bluetooth v2.1 remained popular with new devices that support Bluetooth v3.0.

Bluetooth 4.0

Bluetooth v4.0 was released in 2010 and featured bluetooth versions differences is introduced support for Bluetooth Low Energy. At the time, it was marketed as Wibree and Bluetooth Smart. Bluetooth 4.0 supported all the features of previous versions, but the most important change was power consumption. Namely, BLE devices can be powered by a coin cell battery. So it was now possible to develop compact and portable devices that could run for days on Bluetooth technology.
Bluetooth v4.1 was introduced in 2013 to further improve the user experience. It could now coexist with LTE, enabled devices to support multiple functions simultaneously, and facilitated the transfer of large amounts of data.
New functions supported by this feature include:

• Low Duty Cycle Directed Advertising 802.11n PAL
• Limited discovery time
• LE Link Layer Topology
• L2CAP Link-oriented and dedicated channels with credit-based flow control
• Train Nudging and Generalized Interlaced Scanning
• Fast interval for data advertisement
• Coexistence signaling of mobile wireless services
• Dual mode and topology
• Updated audio architecture for wideband voice transmission

Bluetooth v4.2 was released in 2014 and made the Internet of Things (IoT) possible. Key improvements include:

• Secure low energy connectivity with data packet length expansion.
• Internet Protocol Support Profile (IPSP) version 6 ready for Bluetooth Smart Things to support the connected home
• Link Layer Privacy with enhanced Scanner Filter Policies

Bluetooth 5.0

Bluetooth v5.0 was introduced in 2016 by Bluetooth SIG, but support for this technology was first implemented by Sony in its Xperia XZ Premium product. The bigger bluetooth versions differences is the standard focuses on improving connectivity and the Internet of Things (IoT) experience by providing seamless data flow.
For BLE, double the speed in bursts of up to 2 Mbps is now supported within a limited range that is up to four times the range of the previous generation, which means a trade-off in data transfer speed.
The areas of improvement are:

• Slot Availability Mask (SAM)
• LE Advertising Extensions 2 Mbps PHY for LE
• LE Long Range
• High Duty Cycle Non-Connectable Advertising
• LE Channel Selection Algorithm

Also, there is a cool bluetooth versions differences called ‘Dual Audio’ has been introduced that allows two different Bluetooth devices such as wireless headphones or speakers to simultaneously play audio from a single Bluetooth audio streaming device that supports this version. It is also possible to stream two different audio sources from the same streaming device to two different Bluetooth devices.
Bluetooth v5.3 is the latest version, released in 2022, which introduced support for the mesh-based model hierarchy. Although this version is not yet widely used, it is undoubtedly the future of Bluetooth technology, which will continue to improve.

The main improvements are:

• Angle of Arrival (AoA) and Angle of Departure (AoD) used for device location and tracking.
• Regular sync transmission of advertisements
• GATT caching
• Advertising channel index

Minor enhancements include:

• Specifying behavior for rule violations
• Interaction between QoS and flow specification
• ADI field in scan response data
• Host channel classification for secondary advertisements
• HCI support for debug keys in LE Secure Connections
• Update mechanism for rest clock accuracy
• Allow display of SID in scan response reports

Redmi Note 11S 5G vs Samsung A32

The Redmi Note 11S 5G and the Samsung A32 are both great phones, but which one is right for you?

Appearance

Redmi Note 11S 5G and Galaxy A32 are both equipped with a plastic back, but they have two different styles. While Samsung uses polishing technology to make the back of the A32 looking-like the glass, Xiaomi has roughed this detail on the Redmi Note 11S 5G. So to compare which one is more beautiful will depend on each person’s point of view. After using the design of the module lenses, Samsung removed this detail on the Galaxy A32, turning the camera into a direct harmony with the body. Creating a phone model that is simple yet sophisticated. Xiaomi, on the other hand, has kept the design of the module on the Redmi Note 11S 5G. The A32’s design, in general opinion, is slightly superior. The flat bezel design will help the phone fit better in the holder’s hand, which has been greatly applied. But when holding their phone horizontally, the user will not be able to adjust the angle as in the curved frame, so the awkward feeling is unavoidable.

Screen

Although both the Redmi Note 11S 5G and the Galaxy A32 have a screen with a mole-shaped camera, the Redmi Note 11S 5G’s design is far superior to its competitors. The Galaxy A32’s flaws are the selfie camera border and the thick bottom screen border. As a result, the front of Samsung’s phones is rough, rather than elegant, like Xiaomi’s products. Both products will have the advantage of visibility.

The Redmi Note 11S 5G has a 6.6-inch IPS LCD panel with a resolution of 399 PPI. The Galaxy A32 is a bit smaller at 6.4 inches, but it features a Super AMOLED panel with a resolution of 411 PPI. Both will support a screen refresh rate of 90Hz. Also related to the screen, the Galaxy A32 equip with a fingerprint sensor right below while in Redmi Note 11S 5G it is on the side. This shows us Samsung’s determination in mastering the mid-range segment by including many high-end features in its products.

Camera

About lens parameters, the Galaxy A32 once again outperformed its rival Redmi Note 11S 5G. Currently, Redmi’s smartphone only has two rear cameras of 50MP/8MP and a selfie camera of 16MP. Meanwhile, the Korean giant’s phone has up to 4 rear cameras with 64MP/8MP/5MP/5MP resolution and up to 20MP. Both models use chips from MediaTek, Redmi Note 11S 5G uses Dimensity 810, the processor of Galaxy A32 is Helio G80.

The performance of Dimensity 810 is up to 72% higher than Helio G80 on the Antutu scale and 48% higher on Geekbench 5 scale. Regarding task handling, Redmi Note 11S 5G proves to be superior to the other opponent from Korea. 

Configuration

Both models will use chips from MediaTek, if Redmi Note 11S 5G uses Dimensity 810, the processor of Galaxy A32 is Helio G80. The performance of Density 810 is up to 72% higher than Helio G80 on the Antutu scale and 48% higher on Geekbench 5 scale. Regarding task handling, Redmi Note 11S 5G proves to be superior to the other opponent from Korea. The highest configuration of the Redmi Note 11S 5G is 8GB / 256GB while the Galaxy A32 only stops at 8GB / 128GB.

The battery

Finally about the battery level. Although both are equipped with a 5000mAh battery, the Galaxy A32 uses a Li-Ion battery that supports 15W charging. Meanwhile, Redmi Note 11S 5G uses a more durable Li-Po battery and supports fast charging up to 33W.

3. Method: GSpace

GSpace is officially available in the Huawei App Gallery. It has the same logic as OurPlay, Google products are installed in the virtual environment. But users have indicated that they have problems with the games.

What is VoWiFi

With the development of technology, the need for telephones has increased. Telephones, useful in many aspects of our lives, allow us to connect with the world through electromagnetic signals. They allow us to make calls, send messages, and even go online from one end of the world to the other.

The increase of things possible with the development of mobile networks has paved the way for many innovations. One of them is VoLTE and VoWiFi, which is what this article is about. With the bandwidth that 4G provides, the amount of data that can be transmitted has also increased. Since VoLTE works over 4G and VoWiFi, as the name implies, works over WiFi, these two functions can be used to transmit voice in HD quality.

VoWiFi technology is used when mobile signal is not available. You can connect to the carrier’s VoIP server to make calls and send SMS without being connected to a base station. Hand over the call you start with VoWifi while you are at home, at work, or in your parking garage to VoLTE when you leave that environment. The reverse of the handover scenario, which promises uninterrupted communications, is also possible. In other words, a VoLTE call you make outdoors can be switched to VoWifi when you enter an enclosed area. So the continuity of your call is guaranteed.

It is also possible to make calls abroad with VoWiFi without incurring roaming charges.

VoWiFi Avantages

• Allows you to receive signal in locations where mobile signal is low.
• Can be used with airplane mode.

How to Enable VoWiFi

• Open settings
• Go to “ SIM Cards & mobile networks”

• Select SIM Card

• Enable make calls using WLAN

What is CAT in LTE

When you look at hardware features of devices with 4G support, LTE categories appear. There are 20 different LTE categories, but 7 of them are most commonly used. The speed also increases when you go to higher numbers. Table with some LTE categories and speeds:

LTE Categories	Maximum Download Speed	Maximum Upload Speed
CAT 3	100 Mbps/Seconds	51 Mbps/Seconds
CAT 4	150 Mbps/Seconds	51 Mbps/Seconds
CAT 6	300 Mbps/Seconds	51 Mbps/Seconds
CAT 9	450 Mbps/Seconds	51 Mbps/Seconds
CAT 10	450 Mbps/Seconds	102 Mbps/Seconds
CAT 12	600 Mbps/Seconds	102 Mbps/Seconds
CAT 15	3.9 Gbps/Seconds	1.5 Gbps/Seconds

Modems in cell phones, like processors, are divided into different categories, depending on their level of development. We can think of it like the performance difference between the Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 processor and the Qualcomm Snapdragon 860 processor. Every SoC have different modems. Snapdragon 860 has Qualcomm X55 modem while Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 has Qualcomm X65 modem. Also, every device have different combos. Combo means how many antennas connected to base station. As you can see in table above, 4G speeds vary depending on the LTE category. If your carrier supports high speeds, you can see promised speeds in the highest LTE category. Of course, these speeds are expected to increase even more with 5G.
