I believe that many people have such an experience, the mobile phone uses the prompt of the system update that suddenly pops up, and then there is a overwhelm. Recall that after the previous system update, the mobile phone is not as easy to use as before the update, but after ignoring the update, the mobile phone always reminds you from time to time, making the heart itch. So should the mobile phone system be updated? After reading this article, your heart will have the bottom!
1, the large version is more cautious, the small version is more casual
If you update the big version, you must be cautious and cautious, be sure to wait and see if others are updated, go to the forum to see the real feedback of users, and then decide whether to update. Because large version updates often involve Android underlying updates or system UI updates, they will bring a lot of new features, of course, but also bring more BUG and incompatibilities.
For example, I remember that after my iPhone XR was upgraded to iOS 15, not only was the fever and stuttering obvious, but also the individual banking apps and work apps would flash back, which was obviously caused by the mobile APP not adapting to the new system. And after my Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro upgraded to MIUI 13, the bottom layer of the system was also updated from Android 11 to Android 12, which also led to the situation that the respective APPS could not be opened. If you still want to continue to use the app, you can only wait for the app developer to update the software to adapt to the new system, or empty the data and downgrade to the original system. Android can also be downgraded at will, if like the iPhone in case the downgrade channel is closed, it will be completely unsolvable.
Therefore, if it involves the update of the big version, I suggest that you must wait, first, you can wait for the feedback of real users; second, you can wait for the official to fix the bug of the new version, and then it is not too late to update.
The update of the small version, such as from MIUI 13.0.7 to 13.0.9, will not involve the underlying and OS changes, generally speaking, it will fix the bugs of the previous version, or optimize some small functions, which can be updated at will.
2, the old model should not be updated, the new model is recommended to update
Mobile phone manufacturers are now engaged in machine sea tactics, and simply do not have the energy to maintain the system update for more than 1 year. Usually, the new features of the new system are made to adapt to the new model, and the optimization of the old model is very poor. Therefore, if you release more than half a year of thousand yuan machine, and the flagship machine listed for more than 1 year, do not upgrade to the latest system version, otherwise there will be a high probability of "negative optimization". For example, after my Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro was upgraded to MIUI 13, the camera's white balance and night performance were significantly inferior to MIUI 12.5, and there are many more examples of this.
Now mobile phone manufacturers in order to grab the release rhythm, the new machine is often not debugged well released. Therefore, models that have not been on the market for a long time, it is recommended to keep up with the latest system updates released by mobile phone manufacturers, because this is tuning the performance and fluency performance of the new machine.
3. Learn to read the changelog
When the system rises to the page, it is often written in the changelog of this version. It is recommended that you carefully read the changelog to see what is updated in the new version. If it is a bug fix or a new small feature, it is not painful for you, I recommend not risking updating it! If the bug fixed by the new version happens to be encountered by you, then you can update it.
The above is the "three principles" of system update, after reading my combing, the next time you pop up the update prompt, your psychology must have the bottom, right?
