Looking forward to it, just yesterday, the World Super's Xiaomi 11 finally waited for the push of the MIUI 13 stable version:
As a user who bought the Xiaomi Mi 11 with real money at the time of the first launch, I love and hate this phone.
What I love is its thin body and delicate screen, and of course I hate the system that often has bugs.
And, I don't know why, in the Xiaomi Mi 11, 11 Pro and 11 Ultra flagships that Xiaomi released last year, the system fluency of the Xiaomi Mi 11 gives me the feeling that it is the worst of the three phones.
Extreme use scenarios aside, Xiaomi Mi 11 in the process of daily use due to the body heat caused by frame drop stuttering phenomenon is much more frequent than the other two mobile phones, so that I came up with the idea of changing the machine ~
However, after upgrading the Xiaomi Mi 11 to MIUI 13 and experiencing it for a while, I decided to put my replacement schedule a little later.
Because on the MIUI 13 system, I seem to see that the once smooth and easy-to-use MIUI system is back!
MIUI 9 should be the best Xiaomi system in recent years▼ ▼
Without further ado, I'll tell you in detail what new features MIUI 13 has added this time, and what deficiencies it has.
Let's start with the new features.
The most obvious upgrade of MIUI 13 this time is that it brings us a series of new widgets, click on the "+" sign in the upper right corner of the negative screen, or pinch with two fingers on the desktop, you can call up the add widget interface:
Poor friends can see that MIUI 13 provides a very wide variety of widgets, in addition to the clock, weather, calendar and other regular system widgets, there are also many personalized widgets and third-party application widgets.
The biggest difference between these new widgets on MIUI 13 and the original widgets is that they have been specially adapted, not only the aesthetics have been greatly improved, but also the practicality is much stronger than the original.
Take clocks, for example, on MIUI 12.5, it has only a few very simple clock widgets, so ugly that I don't usually use them at all:
On the MIUI 13, the clock alone has more than thirty widgets of various styles and styles to choose from, and there is always one that can be used to the eye:
Although the third-party application widgets are not many at present, but Shichao simply looked at it, and the apps we usually use, such as Alipay, NetEase Cloud Music, Weibo, autoNavi map, etc. have basically been adapted:
With these widgets, I can now tap the widget on the desktop to directly access the secondary interface of these third-party apps, and the operation efficiency will undoubtedly be much better than the original opening of the app and then operation:
It's just that the style and style of miUI 13 these third-party app widgets always make me feel a bit like iOS 15.
iOS 15 provides 1*1, 2*1, 2*2 and other small parts for us to choose from:
The widgets of MIUI 13 are basically these sizes as well:
iOS 15 allows us to put widgets on a negative screen or desktop:
MIUI 13 also supports us to put widgets on a negative screen and desktop:
It seems that Lei always said at the Xiaomi 12 series conference that Xiaomi will officially benchmark Apple, and learning from Apple is really not just talking, but it is already doing so~
The most interesting of these widgets is also the personality widget.
Whether it's a personality signature, a personality tool, or a personality sticker, they're all highly playable, and we can make your phone desktop look better even without the help of a third-party launcher!
MiUI 13 also added 10 glass wallpapers and 9 crystalline wallpapers to the system wallpaper.
Among them, these several live crystallization wallpapers are taken by polarized light microscopes, recording the crystallization process of vitamin C, citric acid and other different crystals, which is quite interesting to watch, that is, the perception is really not drops:
In contrast, I still like more glass wallpapers, at least they can echo the color of my phone case:
In addition to the previous widgets and wallpapers, MIUI 13 also supports our personalized little love classmates.
Now the image, voice, and wake-up word of Xiao Ai classmates can be customized according to our preferences, and once we call Xiao Ai classmates after customization, the customized image will appear, and the two-dimensional concentration will be directly pulled full:
In terms of MIUI's strong privacy protection, MIUI 13 also brings us several very useful new features, namely face verification protection, document privacy watermarking, and full-link fraud protection.
Face verification protection can achieve system-level masking of other pictures except the face by intelligently identifying the face during video calls or face verification, so that we can really show only one face instead of the entire upper body:
ShiChao simply tested it, and found that its occlusion effect was very ok, and the picture basically locked the face, that is, looking at some ghost animals:
The document privacy watermark allows us to quickly add a watermark to sensitive documents such as ID cards to limit the use of the documents, and the effect is almost as follows (I added a watermark for XXX only):
As for the last privacy feature, full link fraud protection.
Since Shichao has not received a scam call recently, nor has it installed a fraud application, nor has it transferred an account to a stranger, it is not known what its effect is.
This time MIUI 13 also brought us some of the Xiaomi Magic Function, after the mobile phone and tablet log in to the same Xiaomi account, the verification code, photos, hotspots, and cutting board can flow seamlessly between the mobile phone and the tablet.
Unfortunately, Shi Chao only has a mobile phone on hand, so he can't show it to his friends.
Compared to the previous new features that are easier for us to perceive, the other upgrades to MIUI 13 are somewhat insignificant.
For example, MIUI 13 has added MiSans fonts this time, which is not much different from the small Milan Pavilion Pro used in the original MIUI 12.5, and the difference seems to be that the thickness and spacing of the fonts are different:
The sidebar, which was previously only available in games and videos, has also become a global sidebar on MIUI 13, and now you can call up the sidebar at any time to open the app in the form of a small window, no matter what interface you are in:
In short, in terms of new features, Shichao feels that these new features in MIUI 13 are not much brilliant, but can only be said to be more and more perfect!
The most surprising thing about MIUI 13 this time is its improvement in fluency and stability.
According to the official statement, MIUI 13 has undergone comprehensive and meticulous optimization from the underlying framework to the upper-level application, which brings us a comprehensive smooth experience, and the fluency is significantly improved compared to MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition.
How about the actual optimization effect in the end, we still look directly at the recording screen:
Poor friends can see that whether it is entering the desktop from the lock screen, or swiping a negative screen to load a picture, or interrupting the application that is being opened in the middle, the animation is very smooth, and the feedback is also very fast.
In addition, I noticed that the MIUI 12.5 enhanced version has not been solved before, and the bug that the picture loading in the double-open software is particularly slow, which is extremely affecting the experience, has finally been solved by Xiaomi on MIUI 13.
Other seven seven eight eight small BUGs I have not encountered after upgrading the new system, it seems that MIUI head Jin Fan said at the Xiaomi conference that MIUI 13 has solved more than 400 problems and said that it is not necessary
It is also based on the stable and smooth system experience of MIUI 13, I have recently called my girlfriend to start the Xiaomi Mi 12X ~
Of course, after upgrading from the original MIUI 12.5 enhanced version to MIUI 13, the new system is not without my discomfort.
One of the places I want to complain about the most is that MIUI 13 supports forced dark mode apps compared to MIUI 12.5 is a few less, and the app that suddenly brushes the white background at night is simply not too eye-catching...
In addition, I also encountered some new bugs in the process of use, although it will not affect the use of the phone, but encountered a quite diaphragm, which requires Xiaomi to improve them in the subsequent update.
Open the app store display is incomplete, off the background restart becomes normal ▼
Overall, although the new features of MIUI 13 are limited, its stability and fluency improvements are very large.
After more than a year of word-of-mouth collapse, MIUI is finally no longer the short board of Xiaomi, I hope that Xiaomi can continue to work hard, do not let users down in the future, thank you for watching!
