Xiaomi today announced the launch of the all-new flagship Xiaomi 12 Series for local markets, featuring two groundbreaking devices: Xiaomi 12 Pro and Xiaomi 12. Designed to empower users around the world with a cutting-edge videography studio and entertainment powerhouse, Xiaomi 12 Series delivers impressive advancements in Xiaomi’s AI algorithm, flagship processing power, and an all-round elevated experience.

Xiaomi ProFocus intelligently identifies and tracks objects, preventing blurring or out-of-focus shots of moving or veiled subjects. These advancements also include eye and face auto focus capabilities. Ultra Night Video uses Xiaomi’s proprietary algorithms to record video even under extreme low-light, meaning moody, atmospheric shots are clearer than ever.

Xiaomi 12 delivers Xiaomi’s most colorful smartphone display to date, with more than 68 billion colors on 6.28-inch full-HD+ displays. Both feature 120Hz AdaptiveSync, for an impressively high-definition, vibrant, and flicker-free display that conveys every detail.

vivo V23 5G — The Best in Camera, Technology, Performance and Appearance

Due to the constant development in the technology space for smartphones, there is always hype surrounding any new ‘firsts’ in the market. There is always excitement as to what will be introduced and how well it will be accepted by the audience. 

Keeping this in mind, Vivo’s latest smartphone vivo V23 5G finds itself in a similar situation. The day it was announced, it received a lot of attention for its color-changing design. The design itself represents a significant advancement in smartphone research and design. Making smartphones not only technologically superior but also cosmetically superior is a step forward.

The continual excitement and experience since the smartphone’s launch has not only solidified its market position but also demonstrated that it is a well-balanced phone that isn’t only focused on aesthetics.

Delving more into the device, the vivo V23 5G dons a high-resolution 50MP AF Portrait Selfie camera on the front. This device focuses heavily on the selfie experience which makes it stand out in the market. The latest ISOCELL 3.0 technology helps the camera increase light sensitivity to capture a more crystal-clear picture for the user. Furthermore, the Eye Autofocus feature enables the users to be the center of attention while clicking the picture as the camera focuses on the user, even if they are in motion. 

The dual front camera system offers a much larger field of view with the help of its 8MP Super Wide-Angle Camera. Furthermore, with modes like the AI Extreme Night Portrait mode, the front camera delivers an unparalleled experience in this price range. The phone also sports a 64 MP main rear camera with an 8MP wide-angle lens and a 2MP Macro that can handle wide natural landscapes very easily. The user experience is further increased with features like the Super Night Mode, Bokeh Flare Portrait, and Ultra Stabilization. It is only right to say that both, the front camera and the rear camera together offer a device that is picture-perfect.

V23 5G brings out the result of Vivo’s extensive research which is the Color Changing Fluorite AG Design. This material changes its color upon exposure to ultraviolet light and after about 30 seconds under the sun. This switch goes back to normal once the phone is out of sun exposure. Talking more about the appearance of the device, it is the combination of the Metal Flat Frame Design and the Color Changing Fluorite AG Design that gives the device the aesthetic appeal that has been the talk in the industry for a while now. 

All these powerful features that the phone flaunts are powered by the powerful MediaTek Dimensity 920 processor. This processor offers powerful performance and a fast user experience. The Extended RAM 2.0 further enhances the user experience with its versatile features to expand RAM when required. The 90Hz refresh rate display, a Liquid Cooling System, and Ultra Game Mode make it possible for users to enjoy super smooth gameplay performance. This experience is mutually assisted by the 4200mAh battery that features a 44W FlashCharge that helps in interrupted experience and performance. 

To summarise it all, the vivo V23 5G is a proud and well-balanced device that fulfills the requirements of every smartphone enthusiast whether it is for work, casual, or professional usage.

      Phone Battery Drains Fast? Here’s How to Fix It Quickly

      If your phone battery drains fast, even after a full night of charging, you’re definitely not alone. Most smartphone users in Pakistan and worldwide face this frustrating issue, especially when using modern apps, watching videos, or scrolling on social media all day. But don’t worry your battery isn’t always the problem. The way you use your phone often has more impact than the battery itself.

      In this guide, we’ll explain the main reasons your phone battery drains fast and share easy, practical solutions to help your device last longer whether you’re using an Android or iPhone.

      Why Does Your Phone Battery Drain So Fast?

      Understanding the reasons behind poor battery life is the first step toward fixing it. Several common habits and system issues cause batteries to lose charge quickly.

      1. Brightness and Display Settings

      Your screen is one of the biggest battery consumers. Keeping brightness levels at 100% all day or using live wallpapers and high refresh rates (like 90Hz or 120Hz) drains power fast. The longer your display stays on, the more energy it uses.

      2. Apps Running in the Background

      Apps like Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram and TikTok keep refreshing and sending notifications, even when you’re not using them. This constant activity silently eats up your phone’s battery.

      3. Weak Signal or Continuous Mobile Data

      If your phone is struggling to find a signal, it uses more power to stay connected. Similarly, keeping mobile data or 4G/5G turned on in poor network areas leads to faster battery drain.

      4. Location and GPS Services

      Many apps such as ride hailing, delivery, or maps use GPS even when running in the background. If location tracking is always on, your battery will deplete much quicker.

      5. Outdated Software and Apps

      An old version of your operating system or apps may have bugs that consume extra battery. Regular updates improve performance, security and power efficiency.

      6. Battery Health and Age

      If your phone is over two years old, its battery capacity naturally reduces. You might notice it charging slower or draining faster, a clear sign of wear and tear.

      How to Fix a Fast Draining Phone Battery

      Here are the most effective ways to extend your phone’s battery life and keep it running smoothly all day.

      1. Lower Your Screen Brightness

      Avoid keeping your screen brightness at maximum. Instead, enable Adaptive Brightness so your phone adjusts automatically based on lighting conditions. Also, shorten your screen timeout to 15–30 seconds.

      2. Turn Off Unused Features

      Disable Wi Fi, Bluetooth, Mobile Data and Location when not in use. These services continuously search for connections, which consumes a lot of power in the background.

      3. Close Background Apps

      Go to your phone’s settings or app manager and force stop apps you’re not using. You can also restrict background activity for heavy apps like Facebook or YouTube.

      4. Enable Battery Saver Mode

      Almost every smartphone now has a Battery Saver or Power Saving Mode. This feature limits background processes, reduces screen brightness and slows the CPU slightly helping you save hours of extra battery life.

      5. Update Your Phone and Apps

      Always keep your device updated to the latest version. These updates often fix bugs that cause hidden power usage and improve battery efficiency.

      6. Reduce Notifications and Auto Sync

      Turn off unnecessary app notifications and auto sync features for apps like Gmail, Drive, or social media. The fewer times your phone wakes up to sync, the longer the battery lasts.

      7. Avoid Overcharging

      Leaving your phone plugged in overnight or using it while charging can reduce long term battery health. Charge between 20% and 80% that’s the sweet spot for lithium ion batteries.

      Advanced Tips for Long Term Battery Health

      If you want to make your phone’s battery last for years, not months, follow these advanced habits:

      Use Certified Chargers Only

      Always use original or high quality chargers approved by your phone’s manufacturer. Cheap cables can cause overheating and damage your battery.

      Keep Your Phone Cool

      Avoid using your phone in direct sunlight or hot areas. High temperatures can permanently reduce your battery’s capacity.

      Turn Off Vibration and Animations

      Vibration mode and fancy system animations might look good but consume more power. Keep them minimal to extend battery life.

      Monitor Battery Usage

      Go to Settings → Battery → Battery Usage to see which apps are consuming the most energy. Delete or limit those that consistently stay on top of the list.

      When Should You Replace Your Battery?

      Even with perfect care, every battery has a life limit. If your phone:

      • Drains within a few hours of charging,

      • Turns off suddenly at 20–30%, or

      • Heats up while charging

      Then it’s time to replace the battery. Always visit an authorized service center to get a genuine replacement instead of low quality third party options.

      Final Thoughts

      A fast draining phone battery doesn’t always mean your device is faulty. With a few smart adjustments like reducing brightness, disabling unused services and managing background apps you can easily add hours to your phone’s daily battery life.

      Think of it like this: your phone’s battery is like a heart; the better you take care of it, the longer it keeps your device alive and performing at its best. Make these changes today and you’ll notice an instant difference in how long your phone lasts.
