As the year 2023 begins, it’s time to take stock of the main news of the last week of 2022. A week that was marked in particular by new Xiaomi products, but also an upcoming change for phones fixed.
Xiaomi is full of new products
Xiaomi took advantage of the week between Christmas and New Year’s Day to unveil many new features at a conference in China. The manufacturer has thus presented nothing less than four new smartphones, with the Redmi K60, K60 Pro, K60E and Note 12 Pro Speed Edition. In addition to phones, Xiaomi took the opportunity to unveil new accessories, still under its Redmi brand. We were thus entitled to wireless headphones, the Redmi Buds 4 Lite, but also to a connected watch, the Redmi Watch 3, and a connected bracelet, the Redmi Band 2. For the moment, no marketing in France n was announced.
Google adds a tab to its contacts app
Google has updated its Contacts application bringing together your entire directory. As a reminder, this application is the one installed by default, especially on the brand’s Pixel smartphones. The main novelty of this update concerns the addition of a new tab which will allow you to more easily find your favorite contacts as well as those added recently. Present in the “Selection” tab, this tab will allow you to easily find the contacts you call regularly. A practical function in case of emergency so as not to have to spend long seconds scrolling through your directory.
A big change for landlines in 2023
Number portability, mobile phone users are familiar with. From now on, this rule will arrive on fixed lines. Indeed, from this Sunday, January 1, all subscribers to a fixed line will be able to keep the number of their line, even if they change region. Remember that since 1996, each quarter of metropolitan France and the Île-de-France region have had a telephone code, from 01 to 05. Until now, when moving, you had to change the code to depending on the region you are moving to. From now on, you can keep the same number.
