In recent years, Xiaomi has attached great importance to technology research and development, and I believe everyone has heard about it. For example, the most famous and the highest technology award within Xiaomi, the million dollar award, can trigger a wide range of hot discussions each time.
Among them, the winner of the first million dollar award is the Xiaomi Mix Alpha team, this 360-degree surround screen concept mobile phone, has become the symbol of Xiaomi's highest technology, and its innovative technological breakthroughs include, but are not limited to: innovative flexible screen layered lamination scheme, flexible screen fingerprint unlocking, screen sound technology, etc.; but also made industry breakthroughs in a number of technologies, and completed nearly 100 patent applications. As of today, no friend in the industry has released a similar product.
The winners of the second million dollar awards are the Xiaomi Seconds Charge technical team and the MIUI privacy protection capacity building team. Among them, the Xiaomi second charge technology research and development team successfully developed the 120W wired second charge, which is the world's earliest mass-produced commercial 120W fast charging technology. And because of Xiaomi's long-term accumulation reserves in fast charging technology, now the field of mobile phone fast charging is not only lagging behind, but also has ridden the dust.
The MIUI privacy protection capacity building research and development team has enabled MIUI to achieve the best privacy protection capabilities in the Android field on the basis of its previous ease of use and practicality. Like flares, interception nets, hidden masks three major functions, directly to the Android system privacy protection to a higher level, in a way, the Android system privacy function can also be as good as Apple iOS.
The winner of the third Xiaomi Million Dollar Awards announced today (January 4) afternoon is the CyberDog Iron Egg Four-legged Bionic Robot Team. Lei Jun could not hide his excitement when he spoke, saying that the CyberDog Iron Egg four-legged bionic robot team that won the highest technical award gave him three "super surprises".
First, there are two fresh master's graduates recruited by the school in 2020 in this team, who only joined Xiaomi for one year and won Xiaomi's highest technical award;
Second, the iron egg project brings together the technology of many of the group's R& D teams, and then feeds back the core products of xiaomi, such as the "all things chasing focus" function used on the Xiaomi 12 series mobile phone is the "master tracking technology" from the iron egg;
Third, the Iron Egg project represents the bold pioneering spirit, amazing self-driving force and imagination of Xiaomi engineers for future scientific and technological life.
It is said that this team is spontaneously organized and independently established, not the company's arrangement to set up a project, which can see Xiaomi's relaxed engineer culture and strong support for independent innovation technology.
Of course, this time the technology award is not only this team, judging from Lei Jun's speech, 68 participating projects are "extremely outstanding and of extremely high standards". So many quantities also show that Xiaomi's technological achievements have been transformed into very rich, and Xiaomi's core competitiveness has been greatly enhanced in recent years, which is based on the comprehensive adherence to the "technology-oriented" strategy. Just like Lei Jun particularly emphasized: "technology-oriented" is the iron law that Xiaomi never changes, and the engineer culture is the background color in Xiaomi's genes. Ensuring the sense of accomplishment and happiness of engineers is the top priority of the Group and the hope for the Group's sustainable development in the future.
In addition, from the Xiaomi 12 series conference a few days ago, we have learned that Xiaomi continues to increase its R & D investment - in 5 years, the group's R & D investment will exceed 100 billion yuan, which is a full double compared with the original plan. At the same time, Lei Jun also said that Xiaomi will continue to promote the "Young Engineer Equity Incentive Plan" to provide the best remuneration for outstanding engineers.
Of course, for young students, there is good news that Xiaomi will continue to recruit 5,000 outstanding young engineers in 2022. Look at the iron egg team's interests and hobbies combined with work, and finally won the highest million dollar award of the company support, are you not ready to try it?
