MIUI v103120 update rolls out to Redmi Note 7 Pro, brings video recording fix, July security patch and more
Redmi Note 7 Pro has started receiving the MIUI v10.3.12.0 update in India. The new software update brings fixes to video recording issue faced by some users, and the July 2019 Android security patch. The latest update of the global stable ROM v10.3.12.0 is rolling out in batches for the Redmi Note 7 Pro users in the country. Moreover, the Chinese phone manufacturer is planning to release the Android Q update for the Redmi K20 Pro and Mi 9 in the fourth quarter of this year. However, we don’t expect the Note 7 Pro to get the latest version of Android anytime before the first quarter of 2020.
“Some of our users faced an issue during video recording on Redmi Note 7 Pro recently, we have identified the root cause and have addressed the issue,” the company said in the official MiUI Community forum post. The update carries build number V10.3.12.0.PFHINXM, and is rolling out in batches for the Redmi Note 7 Pro users in India, so don’t worry if you haven’t received it yet. While you will get a notification for the update, you can also check for the update by going to Settings > About phone > System update in the phone.
Alongside the July 2019 security patch, the new update brings several other improvements in stability and performance as well. Additionally, it includes a fix for the Game Turbo mode to display correctly the hands-free call duration.
Here is the full changelog:Camera Fixed - Video recording frame drops
Security New - Updated Android Security Patch to July 2019 for increased system security

Hyundai develops Active Shift Control to improve fuel efficiency in hybrids
Hyundai is keeping itself quite busy this time of the year, especially in India. Having launched the Kona EV in the country last week and the much-awaited Venue subcompact SUV a little before that, the Korean car maker is now announcing that it has developed a fuel-saving technology for future Hyundai hybrids. Dubbed Active Shift Control, the new transmission technology is claimed to reduce shift times in hybrids by 30 percent. The upcoming Hyundai Sonata Hybrid will be the first model to employ Hyundai's new tech.
According to a press release sent by Hyundai Motor Group, the new Active Shift Control technology optimises transmission efficiency by monitoring gear shifts 500 times per second, allowing for precise adjustment of the transmission rotation speed for quicker shifts. The new tech applies new control logic to the Hybrid Control Unit (HCU), which then commands the electric motor in the engine bay to align the rotational speed of the engine and transmission to reduce shift times from 500ms to 350ms.
How the new Hyundai tech works
Hyundai claims that apart from reducing shift times, the new technology also increases the durability of the transmission as it minimises friction during shifts. “The development of world’s first ASC technology is a remarkable innovation which incorporates precise motor control to automatic transmission,” commented KyoungJoon Chang, Vice President and Head of Powertrain Control System Group of Hyundai Motor Group in the press release.
Though the new Active Shift Control is expected to be introduced in the upcoming Hyundai Sonata Hybrid, it will eventually make its way to future Hyundai and Kia hybrid models. While Hyundai was recently busy with the launch of the Kona EV and Venue subcompact SUV, Kia—a new player in the Indian car market—was busy with the global announcement of the Seltos, yet another subcompact SUV. MG Motor, on the other hand, revealed the price of its Hector SUV in late June.
