Late last year, Samsung's Galaxy Note 20, Galaxy S20, and Galaxy Tab S7 received AER certification following their Android 11 updates. Now, the company's latest flagship Galaxy S21 series has also secured a spot on the list of AER certified devices.

Today, Xiaomi announces the Mi 10i 5G in India, wherein the "i" stands for India. Although the company claims it is a phone made for the Indian market, it shares the same design and almost the same specifications as the Mi 10T Lite and the Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G (China). The Xiaomi Mi 10i comes with a 108MP camera, 5G support, a 120Hz display, and more.

Sometimes it takes Xiaomi a long time to release the kernel source code for a device they sell, but other times it can come rather hastily. While the Chinese OEM's timeliness factor remains questionable, a kernel source release still excites the aftermarket development community, whenever it does land. And we are happy to report that a handful of new devices have had their kernel sources released, namely the Redmi 9, the Redmi 9 Power (sold as the Redmi Note 9 4G in China), and the Mi 10T Lite AKA the Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G.
