Here’s how Xiaomi’s new under-display camera works
Better cloaking, better camera
Yesterday, a new leak revealed a brand-new under-display coming from Xiaomi. According to the leak, the new technology is coming to smartphones in 2021. Without wasting any time at all, Xiaomi has already confirmed the leak themselves in an official blog post. Here’s how Xiaomi’s new under-display camera works.
Currently, today’s under-display cameras are still slightly noticeable. If you look hard enough, you can still make out the small circular outline where the camera should be. According to Xiaomi’s blog post, the next-generation camera will hide more stealthily underneath the screen by allowing more light to pass through the sub-pixels. The new camera will supposedly appear invisible to the naked eye even after careful scanning.
Further, with new cloaking technology, the smartphone industry might now have an enhanced capability to hide more sensors underneath the screen.
Additionally, Xiaomi has also reengineered the actual camera. For this iteration, the under-display camera will perform with the same performance as an unhidden front-facing camera. In both visibility and performance, Xiaomi has worked above the current standard, bringing a new era for the next generation.
Of course, the camera’s actual performance will depend on the final result. Thankfully, as was leaked previously, the new technology will debut sometime in 2021.
Started years ago, Xiaomi’s latest technology signals the continued attempt to bring edge-to-edge displays to true reality. Recent;y, Xiaomi launched the Mi 10 Ultra, a bezel-less driver carrying the current under-display standard.

Lenovo’s Legion is coming back to the gaming phone segment
The new Legion Y70 is launching in China next month.
Last year, the gaming phone segment received a huge blow when ASUS pulled the plug on the ROG Phone. Another brand is ready to take its place, though. Lenovo has been teasing the return of the Legion Phone. Lenovo’s gaming-centric brand is releasing the refreshed Legion Y70 in May.
Lenovo picks up where it last left off. Back in 2022, the brand launched the original Y70 in different circumstances. Most especially, it launched in a market with heavy competition from the ROG Phone. Now that the latter has called it quits, Lenovo is ready to step in.
And yes, according to a leaked photo, it does look like a Motorola phone, especially with the rear camera design. After all, Lenovo does own Motorola, so the similarities make sense.
In terms of hardware, it’s unknown which piece of hardware will come to the new phone. Since it’s a gaming phone, you can expect some beefy specs for all your gaming needs. Besides that, it’s confirmed that the device will also feature a heavy heaping of AI to help the performance along.
Now, in a Weibo post, Lenovo has confirmed that the new Legion Y70 is coming in May. That said, it will be a China-exclusive release for now. The brand ahs not confirmed whether the phone will arrive in international markets after the initial launch.

Godzilla Minus Zero trailer teases the kaiju’s arrival in New York
The movie premieres in November.
Godzilla Minus One was one of my favorite movies in 2023. Only the second live-action Godzilla in the ongoing Reiwa era, Minus One reintroduced the Japanese version of the legendary kaiju to contrast the blockbuster approach of the American Legendary Pictures franchise. Now, the award-winning movie is getting a sequel: Godzilla Minus Zero.
Set as a direct sequel to the 2023 film, Godzilla Minus Zero takes place in 1949, a few years after the events of the past movie. As the end of the last film portends, the eponymous monster survives the catastrophic attack against it. But as to how it survived and what it’s targeting next, we’ll just have to wait and see.
In a newly released teaser trailer, Minus Zero will once again feature the return of the previous film’s Koichi and Noriko. The latter of which is still sporting the scars of surviving Godzilla’s attack on Ginza. Koichi, however, finds himself back in the cockpit of a fighter plane to unknown purposes.
That’s not all. Godzilla is apparently ditching the Pacific Ocean for the Atlantic. In a brief scene that will surely become iconic as time goes by, the kaiju traipses gingerly but menacingly past the Statue of Liberty.
Thankfully, it’s not a long wait before we find out what the world’s favorite kaiju is up to this time. Godzilla Minus Zero will premiere in Japanese cinemas on November 3 and American cinemas on November 6.

Bloodborne is getting an R-rated animated film adaptation
And it’s going to be produced by Sony and Jacksepticeye.
FromSoftware fans are eating well these days. Though gamers are still anticipating the arrival of The Duskbloods on the Switch 2, the studio’s other franchises are getting well-deserved nods for adaptations: Sekiro, Elden Ring, and now, Bloodborne.
Sekiro has already been slated for an anime adaptation for a while now. Meanwhile, Alex Garland recently confirmed that he is adapting Elden Ring for A24. Today, Sony Pictures has confirmed that the studio is working on an R-rated animated film based on Bloodborne.
Via Variety, Sony Pictures president Sanford Panitch says that the upcoming adaptation will keep the game’s essence of horror and gore. With a name like “Bloodborne,” you can’t have an adaptation without a heaping of blood.
Besides Sony, the animated project has another big name attached to its production: YouTuber Jacksepticeye. Throughout his career, the creator has been vocal about considering Bloodborne as his favorite game of all time. He even has a tattoo of the Hunter’s Mark on his forearm. For this project, Jack will be a co-producer.
Though the creator’s skill in filmmaking is still a relative unknown, Jack’s love for the game should give the project a gamer’s voice. If anything, Markiplier’s recent Iron Lung adaptation offers optimism that YouTubers can also create decent films.
