Xiaomi rolls out HyperOS data controls and POCO F9 Ultra with 10,000 mAh battery

Xiaomi's HyperOS gives users granular privacy settings, allowing them to view and disable the "unrestricted data" permission for apps that bypass data‑saving modes. The guide walks through the Settings → Privacy Protection → Special Permissions menu to identify and turn off unnecessary unlimited mobile data access, while also noting new visual customization options via the Themes app.

POCO, a Xiaomi sub‑brand, is preparing the high‑end F9 Ultra smartphone. Leaked specs show a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 built on a 3 nm process, a massive 10,000 mAh battery, 100 W wired fast‑charging, 50 W wireless charging, and a 185 Hz AMOLED display. The device is expected to feature a 200‑megapixel main camera sensor, a periscope telephoto lens, and an under‑display ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, positioning it against premium flagship models.
