Huawei will get no credit for all the hard work they did over the last few years.....

"A small self-study chip, with Xiaomi's endless technical dream, rushed to come. On March 29th, my heart went out to me," said the tech giant via Weibo.
On the other hand, the upcoming smartphone is expected to be the first one to have a liquid lens. Right now, most mobile phones' camera lenses are made of glasses and other solid transparent materials. These include Samsung Galaxy S21 flagships, iPhone 12 series, OnePlus devices, and more.
Xiaomi Mi MIX's liquid lens
According to New Atlas's latest report, Xiaomi's liquid lens will be wrapped in a thin film to replace a regular optical lens. The company also explained that there would be a motor capable of providing efficient lens shape-control.

Thanks to this feature, the upcoming Xiaomi Mi MIX will have ultra-fast autofocus. Aside from this, the new smartphone could also have the ability to quickly change its lens' focal length.
The liquid lens is more efficient than other smartphone lenses since it can easily shift from wide-angle to macro, as well as to telephoto. With this feature on hand, the users can have a super-flexible camera smartphone that only needs one lens instead of three or four camera lenses.
New Android 11 builds for Mi Mix flagships
On the other hand, Paranoid Android, one of the longest-running custom ROM programs, has released new Android 11 builds for Xiaomi Mi MIX models. However, the Paranoid Android developer team hasn't released any update if it will also be available on the upcoming Mi MIX device.
They only confirmed four flagships, specifically the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S, Mi Mix 8 Pro, Mi Mix 8 Explorer Edition, and Mi Mix 3. XDA Developers reported that the installation process for the new Android 11 builds involves flashing the MIUI Android 10 stable firmware. After that, the users need to format their data and install the correct ".zip file."
As of the moment, the developers didn't confirm if there are new bugs for the ports. But, they added that they might find some once the users start installing them after the releases.
