Xiaomi unveiled the Redmi K60 series at the end of last year and seeing how 2023 is almost over, the K70 series should be just around the corner.

A nubia-made phone with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 appeared in benchmarks in late August, and we suspected it might be a new Red Magic phone. We now have more solid evidence that was indeed the case as Red Magic confirmed its 9 Pro will be introduced on November 23.

It seems like almost every big Android update Google pushes has some kind of issues initially, and the rollout of Android 14 last month was no different. For some people who had multiple user accounts on their devices, there could be an "out of space" error, or, more egregiously, their device would get stuck in a reboot loop after applying the update. That's not ideal, to say the least. Today Google is releasing the November Android update for supported Pixels, and thankfully the bug that caused the above issues is now fixed. The problem occurred on a lot of devices, as it turns out: the...
