There's not a lot of information posted yet — keep an eye on the site, we're expecting more details shortly — but that price puts it solidly above large Android phones like the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra and below foldables we've seen so far.

As part of its 10th anniversary celebration, alongside some high-spec phones, Xiaomi revealed a transparent TV, the Mi TV Lux OLED Transparent Edition. It will cost 49,999 yuan (about $7,200), but it's also vaguely magical.

Google
Using Android phones for notifications of a nearby earthquake isn't new, and we've seen the MyShake app use phones' sensors as seismometers. But now Google is building the feature directly into Android, creating the Android Earthquake Alerts System. According to Google, phones are "sensitive enough to detect the P-wave, which is the first wave that comes out of an earthquake and is typically much less damaging than the S-wave, which comes afterward."
