What does MIUI 13 mean for Xiaomi?

Just last year, on February 28th of 10, Xiaomi held its last press conference on 202 1. Compared with Xiaomi 12 series mobile phones, users are more interested in Xiaomi's new system, namely the newly launched MIUI 13.

Since the birth of MIUI 20 10/in 20/0, MIUI has become the most critical card for Xiaomi. Xiaomi, who started with MIUI, pays more attention to system features than other manufacturers. However, with the rapid listing of Xiaomi's models, more and more mobile phones need system maintenance and update, and the voice of not advancing or retreating gradually appears on the network.

MIUI began to connect everything.

In particular, the newly launched MIUI 13 was called insincere by netizens. Indeed, the slogan of MIUI 13 this time is: Faster and more stable. Literally, it just fixes bugs. Then the question is coming. MIUI 13 is updated as a big version. What has been updated to make countless rice noodles join the ranks of denouncing Xiaomi?

I happen to have a Xiaomi 12Pro with built-in MIUI 13. Let's see what new functions MIUI 13 has. MIUI 13 is a very interesting widget. In a sense, the update of MIUI 13 is more like an upgraded version of MIUI 12.5. For us, the most intuitive change in appearance is widget.

Since iOS brought widgets back to the public, many domestic mobile phone manufacturers immediately followed up on the system. No matter Huawei's HarmonyOS system, vivo's OriginOS, etc., they all developed widgets-like functional components, so did Xiaomi's MIUI 13 this time.

Living things originate from the ocean.

Compared with other widgets, the widgets added on MIUI 13 seem more interesting, as can be seen from the interesting widgets.

When we press and hold on the desktop to enter the desktop editing interface, we can see the option of adding widgets. After clicking in, we can clearly perceive that the number of widgets in MIUI 13 is really large.

Among them, the more distinctive is Xiaomi's personality components, such as the more fun answer mirror.

When we add this widget, turn it over and ask questions, and then turn it back to show the corresponding divination answer. Of course, this answer is random and cannot be used as a reference.

Another example is drinking a measuring cup. I believe that many friends will basically forget to drink water when they are working or studying. This widget allows us to remember to drink water at any time when picking up the mobile phone and keep healthy.

There is also a self-contained difference solver, which provides three small components: guessing boxing, rolling dice and tossing coins. For example, drinking and playing games with friends, you can use these gadgets to decide whether to win or lose. First, flip a coin.

The widget of MIUI 13 also provides some interesting functions, such as a day's work, predicting the working state of wage earners according to time, and showing it in the form of animation; There is also a note-taking function, which can seamlessly connect widgets with system tools.

In addition, MIUI 13 also provides stickers and personalized signature functions to make your mobile phone more personalized, and you can add your favorite words or expressions.

In the widget option, Xiaomi also put some widgets that have been adapted to the application into this option. I just want to use it, and I need to install an app to use the widget normally.

In addition to widgets, MIUI 13 also added new wallpapers and fonts; On the wallpaper, Xiaomi cooperated with Beauty Science to change various forms and changes of various crystals such as vitamin C and citric acid into the wallpaper and built them into the system.

In terms of fonts, Xiaomi has brought a brand-new system font: MiSans, which has been completely designed for Chinese, English and numbers, and this set of fonts can be downloaded from Xiaomi official website for free use.

MIUI 13 also made some optimizations for Xiao Ai students. You can design a unique image for Xiao Ai, and the customized Xiao Ai homecoming will appear in the voice assistant interface.

In addition to some obvious appearance changes, Xiaomi has also added some new functions in privacy protection, such as cooperating with the National Anti-Fraud Center, checking whether the other party is a fraudulent phone call on the incoming interface, and adding system-level functions such as risk transfer protection.

Some of the remaining updates are aimed at the underlying optimization. According to the official, MIUI has been comprehensively and meticulously optimized from the bottom framework to the upper application, and the system fluency has increased by 20%~26%, which has done more work for the aging of mobile phone performance.

This is all the updates of MIUI 13. Isn't it surprising that these updates are actually called big version updates? Even I feel a little incredible. This update is even more water than the iOS update.

But don't worry, Xiaomi, this wave of water, they explained it themselves. In addition to system updates, this time there is a change in the future direction of MIUI, which is to connect everything. MIUI 13 began to connect everything. It seems nothing new to talk about connecting everything in 2022.

Judging from the earliest multi-device relay work brought by Apple, users who use Apple's family bucket experience different feelings from Android users, which not only provides convenience, but also is surrounded by Apple's multi-devices in the Apple ecosystem. Many friends of Apple's family barrel are firmly locked in the ecosystem by Apple and want to change Android devices. Sorry, all your things are in iCloud. Once the original Apple family bucket users switch to other platforms, it will be difficult for consumers to adapt.

Apple multi-device collaboration

Being trapped by ecology is both a bad thing and a good thing; The interaction between multiple devices makes the use efficiency of products soar, from 1+ 1=2. To 1+ 1 > 2. The more devices you can cooperate with, the more convenience you will experience. For example, Huawei's Internet of Everything has formed a brand-new ecology. Huawei notebook+Huawei mobile phone, multi-screen collaboration and other operations make consumers feel convenient. This is a win-win situation for manufacturers and consumers. The ecology of manufacturers has been opened, and the user experience has also risen to a higher level.

Huawei Harmony Operating System 2.0

At present, in addition to Huawei, OPPO is also trying to connect multiple devices, such as the interconnection between mobile phones and wearable devices, and the interconnection between TVs and mobile phones and headphones. Although it is in its infancy, it also proves that the future direction of OPPO is the Internet of Everything.

MIUI+ launched by Xiaomi is the same idea, connecting the mobile phone and the computer together, so that the two are fully integrated and more synergistic. Now the concept of MIUI connecting everything appears, which proves the future direction of Xiaomi.

The first is Xiaomi Miao Xiang Center. Music and video can be cycled between devices by dragging the content card to the device block.

In addition, video and music content can also be pushed to tablets and TVs to achieve seamless push of devices.

Smart wearable devices can also interact with Mijia's series of products, such as Mijia Treadmill, which are connected with each other, and can also visually display the current sports data on TV.

IUI。 Connect everything.

We can also control the smart home of the whole house through the built-in MIUIHome of Xiao Ai touch-screen speaker. Since Xiaomi has had many layouts in smart homes before, the addition of MIUIHome has enriched the entire Mijia ecology. Stretch space.

Regrettably, the MIUI universe is currently only the direction proposed by Xiaomi. If consumers want to experience it, it will take some time. Xiaomi's strongest moat Since Lei Jun put down Xiaomi's mobile phone business and went to build a car, it can be clearly felt from this conference that Xiaomi's route is slowly overlapping with Apple, and Apple has gradually become conservative from its earlier radical product strategy, not seeking success, but seeking nothing. Today's Xiaomi is like this; With the increase of the number of Xiaomi mobile devices, not to mention concentrating on developing new functions, the system maintenance cost is soaring, so the best solution is stable in one word. For the current mobile phone, especially in the period when there is no major breakthrough in system functions, it is undoubtedly the best way to settle down and solve various stability problems left over from the past.

MIUI began to connect everything.

At the time of MIUI 12.5, MIUI's reputation can be said to have plummeted. In Xiaomi Forum, most users are voicing BUG problems. If you sit still for a long time, the loss caused by the loss of users is undoubtedly huge, so this time MIUI 13 focuses on stability and optimization, and I personally agree with it.

Moreover, MIUI 13 is only an appetizer for the press conference that day. After everything connected by MIUI appeared, the whole MIUI matrix became alive. Previously, Xiaomi was more like the exclusive of enthusiasts for users, and each product was an independent individual; With the development of Xiaomi's strategy of connecting everything, more and more users will be tied up in the MIUI ecology, and together with the Mijia intelligent ecology that Xiaomi has been laying out, this will be the strongest moat of Xiaomi.
