The end of the Microsoft-Activision-Blizzard series
We’ve been waiting for it for over a year. Yesterday, the CMA finally gave its approval for Microsoft’s takeover of Activision-Blizzard.

This is what the Xiaomi 14 Pro will look like
That’s it, the design of the Xiaomi 14 Pro is in nature. According to the renderings, the manufacturer would abandon the curved screen of previous models, in favor of the thinnest borders in the industry, i.e. 1 mm thick. We will find a screen with a diagonal of 6.6 inches, a photo module with 4 sensors at the back. The main 1-inch sensor will be absent, replaced by a smaller one.
