It has also been a while since the release of MIUI 13.
As a big version of "Thirteen Spices" that was pinned high hopes on rice noodles before it was released, and MIUI officials have always hinted at it.
So now, has MIUI's wind rating been reversed?
After the observation of the machine brother during this time.
belch... It can only be said that it has been reversed a little, but it is still far from completely reversed.
Obviously, this generation of MIUI does not focus on adding functions, but prefers a strategy to improve stability.
It's really a lot of bugs that have been done in the past on MIUI 12.5.
For some users who don't like toss too much, the MIUI 13 experience is really much better.
However, the brother's but still came.
After all, with MIUI, as we all know, a large part of them are geek users who are partial to the machine.
Although MIUI 13 has eliminated many historical problems, it does not mean that all of them have been solved.
Some small problems that make people scratch their heads still exist.
Everyone has such great expectations, and it is naturally not satisfied to use it.
In addition, compared to the past, the new features of this generation have been greatly reduced.
Even those few new ways of playing, everyone has seen similar ones on other mobile phones.
The innovation that MIUI was proud of in the past can only be said in this generation: lackluster.
Is everyone too demanding on MIUI? Maybe there's a point.
But the machine brother feels that these high expectations, in the final analysis, are still MIUI itself, relying on the updates of the past generation to earn back.
Today's MIUI, to compare not only the rising friends, but also the former self.
Maybe now, everyone is not so impressed.
Today, taking this opportunity, the machine brother will once again take you back to review, those MIUI that are deeply impressed in my mind.
MIUI V1
Since we want to talk about the history of MIUI, the first version will certainly not be absent.
Friends familiar with Xiaomi should know better, compared to Xiaomi mobile phones, MIUI appeared earlier.
On August 16, 2010, based on the first MIUI internal beta version of Android 2.2, it was released on the MIUI forum at that time, and the first batch of test users was only 100.
The first version of MIUI, although it is still relatively simple overall.
But at that time, it was generally a native Android market.
Some of the improvements in MIUI VI are still groundbreaking, and even affect the development of other Android custom UIs in the future.
For example, the traditional Android "drawer" desktop is eliminated, the shortcut switch added to the notification bar for the first time, and the lock screen supports quick opening of phone messages.
Of course, the new features are only one aspect.
MIUI V1 can be achieved without "Orange Friday" and the development model with high user participation.
This allowed MIUI to quickly attract many enthusiasts at that time.
In the view of the machine brother, this also sets the tone for the subsequent development of MIUI.
Just like building a house, once the foundation is done well, it will definitely be much smoother in the future.
The subsequent V2 and V3 versions are improved on the basis of V1, including the release rhythm is not regular.
More than two months after the release of V1, MIUI V2 came, and this version added the dial interface T9 search.
From V2 to V3, the interval is less than five months, and in this version, for the first time, the "versatile theme" function, which is still commonly used by everyone, appears.
It wasn't until MIUI V4 that MIUI was basically determined to release one major release a year.
MIUI V4
Fast forward to January 2012, miUI V4 was released.
This version can be said to mark the beginning of Xiaomi's Internet service.
Xiaomi Cloud, Mi Coin, Xiaomi App Store and other apps and services with Xiaomi prefix have been launched one after another.
For these, everyone may not have much impression.
But at that time, an original new feature was added, and everyone must be familiar with it when he said it.
That is, the alarm clock supports smart skipping of statutory holidays.
This function can be said to have dried up the past, and it is tedious to adjust the alarm clock before and after holidays.
Today, this feature has become standard on almost all Android phones.
I just don't know when iOS will be available.
MIUI V5
As for MIUI V5, in the eyes of the machine brother, this should be regarded as the most classic version of MIUI.
Especially the completely new system design.
In this version, MIUI has redrawn most of the app icons commonly used on the market.
Although the overall style is still skeuomorphic.
However, compared with MIUI V4, the style of the system is more unified, and the appearance value is visible to the naked eye.
Now, desktops and lock screens like this.
Even if you look at it now, it's not very outdated, right?
In addition, in terms of functionality, THERE are many updates to MIUI V5.
For example, the first WIFI password supports two-dimensional code sharing, and when the brother first used this function, he really had a feeling of "Oh, it can still be like this".
Only later, in order to protect privacy and other issues, it was changed to only share the network, not to share passwords.
In addition, there are desktop batch sorting, strange phone smart tags, notification SMS aggregation, etc., which are also features that were first launched in this version.
A more personalized system style, plus more user-friendly features.
MIUI V5 received numerous praises as soon as it was released, and at that time, the official also adapted the brushing package for a large number of other brands of mobile phones.
There should be a lot of people here, give your HTC, ZTE, Samsung... Brushed miui V5, right?
MIUI 6
Normally, miUI V5 is in the limelight.
The most secure official approach should be to continue to polish along the V5.
but... MIUI does not do this.
MiUI 6, which debuted a year later, can be said that the entire system has completely changed.
The most obvious is the complete transition of the icon from skeuomorphism to flattening.
(Left MIUI V5; Right MIUI6)
Including all aspects of the entire system, this generation is also the main "minimalist design".
Users who like flattening are happy, but for users who like to imitate objects, such changes are also slightly difficult to accept.
So, compared to MIUI V5, the public's evaluation of MIUI 6...
It can only be said that there are mixed emotions, people who like it like it, and people who don't like it also don't like it.
The flat icon design has also been used by subsequent generations of new versions.
While each generation has a different theme, many new features are being added all the way up.
But in terms of overall UI style, there is actually no large-scale improvement like previous generations.
In fact, in the eyes of the machine brother, this generation of MIUI 12 released last year is definitely one of the largest updates in miUI in history.
It is also another major change after MIUI makes people feel that it is a little "aesthetic fatigue" in recent years.
The machine brother is still very impressed.
When it was first released, most of the reviews it received were positive, especially in terms of animation effects, and many people compared it to iOS 14.
It's just not a long time.
Later Android 11 was launched, the system architecture passive knife too much MIUI 12, encountered this new Android version, adaptation on the overturned.
Stability problems continue to be exposed, various bugs are flying, MIUI's wind review can be said to have encountered Waterloo in this year.
Even the official update rhythm is completely chaotic.
In just one year, two small versions of MIUI 12.5 and MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition were actually derived.
Then, there is no then.
Finally, back to MIUI 13.
The brother said ah, now I want to completely reverse the wind evaluation.
There is indeed more to be done in MIUI 13.
