Google's Call Screening Transcriptions Start Rolling-Out for Pixel Owners

Google has started rolling out transcriptions for Android's call screening service (via 9to5google). The Call Screen feature uses Google Assistant to answer the phone on your behalf to screen calls from unknown numbers. The only way to see a conversation before was to witness it in real time - the new transcriptions save a copy for later viewing.
To find it, head info the Recent Calls of the Phone app, find a call that Google's screening service answered on your behalf, and select Call Details from the menu. If you have the latest update, you should be able to pick the See Transcript option. From here you'll be able to read the transcript, as well as rate its quality.
Transcription support hasn't rolled out to everyone just yet, but after Google confirmed the feature would be available before the end of the year, it's unlikely to be long before all US Pixel owners get access. If you're outside of the US then you might have to wait a little longer. For now, call screening is available exclusively in the US on Google's first-party handsets, although Google's @MadebyGoogle account has tweeted that the feature is expected to come to more countries and languages "in the future."

Xiaomi Black Shark Helo, Gaming Phone Goes on Sale Early

Xiaomi's Black Shark Helo gaming phone was announced a week ago and the release date was supposed to be November 10, but it appears that the handset is arriving a bit early. A lot earlier, in fact. In a Weibo post, Lei Jun, Xiaomi's founder, announced that the official Mi online store will start selling the phone as early as today. The flash sale begins at 8PM local time and as far as we can tell from the post, it's the second one for today. Unfortunately, the 10GB version is still not here to be found and the store is offering the 8GB/128GB and the 6GB/128GB configurations only. The 6GB model will sell for CNY 3,199 ($459) while the asking price of the 8GB alteration is CNY 3,499 ($502). Just make sure you are one of the first in line because stock won't last.
