Xiaomi is reportedly working on a new kind of fast charging technology (image via Xiaomi)
A new leak from Weibo states that Xiaomi is researching parallel charging technology. Future Xiaomi smartphones could use it to offer nearly double charging speeds, maybe even cross the 200W figure, which has been speculated for quite some time now.

Over the past year, we've heard multiple rumours about Xiaomi working on 200W fast charging capabilities for its smartphone batteries. However, Xiaomi still hasn't breached the 120W barrier, and if recent launches are anything to go by, it doesn't seem to be in any hurry. However, a new leak from Weibo veteran Digital Chat Station suggests that the company could hit those speeds soon-ish.

The Weibo post in question states that Xiaomi is researching parallel charging technology, which lets you supply power to two batteries simultaneously. However, this is only possible in a dual-cell configuration. This shouldn't be much of a bother for Xiaomi, as many of its batteries are already dual-cell. The process is quite complicated, as it requires the battery controller to balance the voltage and current between all circuits constantly. On paper, parallel charging can potentially double the charging speed, so it 200W is well within the realm of possibilities.

Therefore, it could be months, if not years, before Xiaomi makes this technology mainstream. 120W of power is already a bit overkill for most modern-day smartphone batteries, so there's no reason for Xiaomi to rush. Perhaps the company could have it ready in time for the Mi 12 series, which is expected to run Samsung's first-ever 200MP camera sensor. It'll look pretty alongside 200W fast charging capabilities, if nothing else.

In Google's brand-new Developer Preview 3 release of Android 12, the Settings menu looks a little different. Compared to both Android 11 and A12 DP2, the updated version is prettier and less dense, but does away with the subheadings to make it a little less clear where various options are. It also gets some new "bouncy" animations when scrolling. It's the new look for the Settings menu, previously hidden behind an ADB command and labelled "silky home."


As many commenters have noted, the new default for the Settings menu looks a lot like Samsung's OneUI, with its much wider items and lack of subtitles. The whole feel is generally more friendly, but less informative.

It's a small change, but it allows for a more precise at-a-glance look at your phone's status.  The battery menu replaces the approximate time left with a an approximate time that your battery will run out. Whether you prefer one or the other is more of a matter of taste.
Other small changes from DP2: the Search Bar is larger with a grey search icon instead of pink, and it's now full-width, with the user profile image now pushed into the corner. It's tricky to see, but the primary list has also removed the padding between subsections — note the space between "Connected devices" and "Apps" on DP2, left.

Toast messages, for those not versed with the admittedly somewhat obscure term, are those little pop-ups that appear at the bottom of the screen with messages. One of the easiest ways to see a toast message is to dive into the “About Phone” section and tap on the “Build Number.” You’ll then see a toast message about unlocking developer settings.
With that out of the way, this commonly-used part of Android has been around for years and remained mostly the same. In Android 12, it gets a slight design tweak that puts it a little higher up on the screen, at least on Pixels, and a tweaked font, too. More noticeably, the message now matches your system theme, meaning Android toast messages now support a dark theme. It’s a minor tweak, of course, but it’s one that really helps with overall consistency.
Notably, though, it only applies if the app generating the toast message supports dark theme.
