The Samsung Galaxy K Zoom we unboxed earlier is the successor to the Galaxy S4 Zoom, which was not really the best implementation of a camera phone. But this time, the dimensions are more forgiving, with the device looking more like a phone, at least when the camera is folded in. It's well established that the Zoom series of devices will be Samsung's camera flagships and it continues with the K Zoom, with its upgraded 20 megapixel sensor and slightly newer optics. Considering the importance of the device's camera, we assume you are interested in taking a look at full resolution samples from this device, so the article will precisely focus on that, read on.
We took the K zoom for a spin in several lighting conditions and also put it to full use, with respect to zoom and other features. Lets start with the usual daylight pictures -

The Xiaomi Mi 2 was the device that really brought Xiaomi on the world map, with its high value proposition at the time of its launch. The device was later followed by the Xiaomi Mi 2S in 2013, one that I'm still using!
According to a report by GizChina, both of the stalwart quad-core phones will soon be receiving the MIUI V6 update. Both, the Mi 2 and the Mi 2S, are currently based on MIUI V5.
The report goes on to point out that the update would be made available to device users in 4 days from now, that is, on the 16th of August. As you would expect, the MIUI V6 update would come based off of Android v4.4.4. Xiaomi aren't the fastest with Android updates, but the company is well known for providing timely MIUI updates, which, if you aren't aware, is Xiaomi's take on vanilla Android.
Besides Xiaomi phones, the MIUI ROM is officially available for more than 100 other phones, which should soon start seeing ports and builds of MIUI V6.
