The legendary POCO F3 is left without Android 14, just like the Xiaomi 12X. In exchange, they will update to MIUI 15, according to Xiaomiui

One of the most popular brands from East Asia is Xiaomi, with two very well-positioned subbrands such as Redmi and POCO. This second protagonist He left us very good memories with his first terminalthe nostalgic Poco F1 that we put to the test in 2023.

And they didn’t do anything wrong with the Poco F3, which became great value for money in one of the unbeatables until relatively recently. Well, unfortunately, your medium It seems to be reaching the end of the road, after two years receiving updates.

The POCO F3 says goodbye to the new version of Android, although Xiaomi will continue updating it

He support and years of updates They are gradually gaining more interest from users who worry that the device for which they pay hundreds of euros stays up to date with updates. Xiaomi and its MIUI do not have a good reputation in relation to this aspect, and it seems that they have already gotten to work, offering 4 years of updates for a specific model.

As a rule, Xiaomi updates its devices during two years, bringing the new versions of MIUI and Android closer in this period. After going on the market with Android 11, and updating first to Android 12 and then to Android 13, the legendary Poco F3 says goodbye to the imminent Android 14. The next Google update has already been announced by manufacturers such as Samsung or OnePlus, with betas ready to test, and awaiting Google’s starting signal.

Thus, the POCO smartphone would not have new functions such as the new predictive “Back” gesture, at least not from the base of the system. Because really, it could inherit many of its features as long as they are included in the future MIUI 15 that we will soon see.

In addition to the aforementioned POCO terminal, two Xiaomi devices are added to the list: the Xiaomi 12X and Xiaomi 10S. As we say, just because they run out of future versions of the Google system does not mean that the manufacturer will not update its customization layer.

Therefore, we can expect a version of MIUI 15 running on Android 13. Furthermore, as we read in Xiaomiui, a couple of compilations have been spotted that correspond to this duality, so Xiaomi would already be working so that the union between MIUI-Android improves the user experience.

This case now leads us to another question: What will happen to the Poco F4? And the truth is that the only thing we have so far is uncertainty. We can have a little more hope as it has been on the market for a year less, but its similarities make it another possible candidate.

Be that as it may, we must be patient until, first, we know the final version of Android 14, and later, we discover Xiaomi’s plans with this update. That will be when all doubts will be clarified and we will know if the Chinese manufacturer’s policy regarding support has changed.

Bad news for fans of ‘John Wick’: the brutal fourth film starring Keanu Reeves is left without a physical edition in Spain because “it is not financially viable”


Any Spanish collector of films in physical format was already smelling it, but it never hurts to have this sad certainty: the brutal ‘John Wick 4’ is left without a physical edition, since the distributor Diamond Films He has recalled that he does not plan to publish any of his films on DVD, Blu-ray or 4K Ultra HD, justifying this decision with “”.

Demand is very low

The truth is that no Diamond Films film has been published in physical format in our country for a long time, so the only thing we needed was an official explanation from him. We finally got it, and this is what it says:

Since we started our activity in Spain, we are committed to the creation and distribution of DVDs and Blu-Ray. Unfortunately, the company in charge of manufacturing and logistics ceased its activity permanently, due to the low demand for these products, so we had no choice but to stop editing our films in these formats. We understand that there are still some collectors who continued to bet on the physical format and we are very grateful that you are interested in keeping it, but we hope you understand that the demand is so low that its manufacture is not economically viable.

That the physical market in Spain is not going through its best moment is something indisputable. Gone are the years of strength in which there were countless buyers. Many of them were disappearing with the rise of streaming and something tells me that the obsession created around 50% offers, very common a few years ago and rarely seen today, does not help to be profitable either. Now it seems that the only thing that really sells are steelbooks – and I am the first to give them priority over simple editions.

All in all, movies continue to be released in our country and there are distributors like Reel One Entertainment that subsist solely on DVD and Blu-ray sales, so profits should continue to give. Perhaps few and very focused on certain titles –I don’t have the slightest doubt about the good sales of ‘John Wick 4’, but what about the rest of the releases?-, so one can understand that they have opted for other sources of income. Which is it? I suspect that the exclusivity that Diamond Films titles have for a time with Prime Video when they are released on streaming must be more profitable than what they could earn without it and the extra of the physical format.

Obviously, ‘John Wick 4’ is not the only title affected -the same will happen with the recent ‘Talk to me’, the polarizing ‘Beau is afraid’ or the still pending release ‘The last trip of Demeter’-, but surely the most striking. Let’s not forget all the trouble that occurred with the physical format edition of its first installment, which did not appear for sale in our country until this very 2023. By the way, this will also affect future releases, so if ‘John Wick 5’ has just been done, you can count on the same thing to happen.

$660 million production cost – Redfall has only 15 active players left

red case

Arkane Studio’s Xbox-exclusive vampire-hunting FPS game Redfall was released in early May this year and was met with harsh reviews from players and critics alike. On the game’s Steam page, reviews are mostly negative at the moment. The main criticisms concerned the gameplay. This was branded as boring and generic, and also riddled with bugs, glitches, and performance issues.

Redfall actually had the potential for more and even received a little hype in advance, which quickly disappeared after the release. With the game being an Xbox exclusive (alongside PC), it was even more important to win over the fans.

However, that didn’t happen and Redfall turned out to be a complete disgrace. As if that wasn’t already a lousy slap in the face for Microsoft, it’s getting even bigger. The game has so few players that it doesn’t even break the 100 mark.

Redfall has only 15 active players left

A screenshot of Redfall’s concurrent player stats was shared on Reddit by sadiqfaizee. This shows that there has been a peak of 6,124 players over the last four months (since publication day). It also showed that at the time the screenshot was taken, 47 players had peaked in the last 24 hours and 15 players were online when the screenshot was taken.

That’s not very good, of course, but players weren’t at all surprised by the lack of interest in the game. “” said one Reddit user. “” said another.

“” read one comment. It is highly unlikely that the game’s player count will improve any further. It should be said that there are no plans to support the game with new content. But even if new content were added, it probably wouldn’t make a difference.
