Xiaomi has announced its first quadruped robot in the form of a mechanical dog. The aptly named CyberDog features a brain by Nvidia, a host of sensors, and servos made by Xiaomi. It also uses open-source algorithms. Xiaomi is giving 1,000 examples of the robot to developers, engineers, and fans, but there’s no word on general availability. After stamping its authority on the smartphone world and announcing its electric cars plans, Xiaomi is jumping head-first into the robotics space.
Apple held its World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC) keynote yesterday, giving people a taste of updates to come on Apple devices. As is now tradition, the company showed off the latest version of iOS at the event (iOS 12), delivering plenty of new features to the platform.
Upon closer look, however, you’ll find that some of these new features have previously been announced by Google or are in Android already. Let’s take a look at a few of these features…
Huawei has developed a periscope camera set to arrive on one of its Huawei P30 handsets when they’re revealed later this month. The company discussed the camera technology at a meeting during MWC 2019, letting us in on what’s in store for at least one of its phones’ rumored multi-rear camera setups.
Periscope lenses can offer mobile devices superior zoom capabilities compared to other, more traditional camera setups. Huawei suggested this periscope lens was its own, not one touted by Chinese competitor Oppo.

Update, November 30: It was two months ago when it once more looked like Motorola was rolling out the Android Nougat update for the Moto X Pure Edition; its owners had already encountered one false start, so we were cautious when the update made some scattered appearances in September. Though it transpired that those updates were limited to only a handful of users, we're now fairly certain that it's rolling out proper. Recent comments on Reddit, the XDA forums, and the Lenovo forums (via Android Police) would suggest so, meaning the handset is now receiving what will undoubtedly be its last major update.
Social distancing has affected everyone differently, but one of the most common challenges is finding ways to stay in shape without access to the gym.
Of course, there’s nothing to stop you from building strength with kettlebells and dumbbells, but these options can only go so far in replicating the benefits of a 120kg squat! And that’s if you can get hold of them; a lot of these tools have very quickly sold out, for obvious reasons.
Taking a screenshot can be quite helpful in many ways. If you need to share something on your screen with someone but they aren’t next to you, sending them a screenshot is a handy way to do so.
If you own an HTC 10 and are wondering how to take a screenshot, look no further! Taking a screenshot on the HTC 10 is very easy, and there are two methods you can choose from:
