How many people buy millet because of MIUI, and how many people stay because of its humanization, in an extremely fierce competitive environment, MIUI is like a natural barrier, helping millet resist Cao Wei's attack, defending the covetousness of Shu Han, and when they fight, take Jingzhou and prepare for the unification of the north.
Hello everyone, today to bring you is MIUI12.5.6 of the in-depth experience report, the article will be divided into four parts to tell, respectively from the system external, system functions, high-frequency function experience and deficiencies, etc. in turn, in addition, I experience the system of the mobile phone for Redmik40, if and other models of use experience is different, please understand, thank you.
First of all, let's talk about the first part, the external part of the system. In the early days of MIUI's development, it was the main high customization, a variety of themes, wallpapers and icons are available, at that time MIUI with these features, in one fell swoop became a god in the hearts of friends. MIUI12.5.6 is also the same, open settings, wallpaper and personalization, in order of the screen, lock screen layout, icon style, super wallpaper and several other common options. Let's first look at the screen display, in addition to a variety of official selection of screen themes, you can go to the theme store to download, you can also customize the selection of screens. After setting, you can also adjust the text color, time position, screen components and other information on the screen page, in short, you can always set it until you are satisfied. Then there's the lock screen layout, where you can adjust the position of the lock screen time, add a lock screen signature to the desktop, display the lunar calendar, and so on. Icon style, you can adjust the size without limit, you can also choose the downloaded icon in the icon style, the only drawback is that it does not support removing the application name. Then there is the super wallpaper, divided into snow mountains, geometry, Saturn rings, earth home, red Mars and other five themes, here we take the demonstration as the mainstay, (demonstration) can see, each picture is very flexible, giving people the feeling that the desktop is alive, and they will change with time, I chose the snow mountain wallpaper, there are a total of seven time periods of the day, how to say it, just like the reading era, suddenly turned around, outside the classroom is a new scene. Of course, you can also choose the Earth Home and Red Mars, which have multiple landing points to see.
After talking about personalization and super wallpaper, and then talk about the use of animation and small white stripe and dark mode, animation aspect: (1) the lock screen into the desktop clean and clean. (2) The desktop switches to the adjustment window, and after the icon is reduced, it will rebound. Multiple icons are dragged and dribbled like playing snakes. (3) The app opens and closes with the theme app icon that has a dynamic effect. The app has a fireworks effect after uninstallation. The three-finger screenshot window floats slightly. There will be an Easter egg when the negative screen reaches the goal or at a wonderful moment. The album is swiped up and shared, the bottom stroke is exited, and the animation effect is completed in one go. (4) Set the storage space in my device to flow like water in a water bottle. Privacy protection is like a layer of protective armor. Power saving and battery have small dots swimming when charging. It can be said that if there is no bug, MIUI's animation is very comfortable. Then there is the small white strip, MIUI is doing a good job in the Android system, and it is basically no problem to optimize. Although MIUI is not well done in dark mode, the three-party application is also not done well. Dark mode setting options, MIUI almost no settable, does not support UI contrast adjustment, does not support icon brightness adjustment, text is also thief bright thief bright. In general, it is recommended to take a break after turning off the lights.
The first part above, now we say the second part, the system function experience.
The small window is one of the most commonly used features on MIUI, and the reason why it is the most commonly used function is because it is convenient and fast when you go. When browsing the web, call out the app with a side swipe; when watching a video, swipe sideways to view messages; and when playing a game, swipe a side to order a takeaway. The whole process does not disturb the original process, which can be described as "the matter is whisked away, and the merit and name are hidden deeply"
However, the "merit and name" is hidden, and the posture of "flicking clothes" is very inelegant. MIUI has a total of six ways to call out small windows (except for WeChat notification messages), four of which are difficult, one is medium, and one is very "Savadika". The first, slide from the bottom to the top; the second, stop the app in the background, tap the small window app button in the upper left corner of the screen, and swipe the selection. Third, stop the application in the background, long press the application figure, and click the small window button. Fourth, click on the small window software you want to convert, then swipe down the notification bar to find the mini window, click, and then it will become a mini window. Then the fifth medium, you can in any application, swipe the right edge of the screen, exhale the small window application, this is identified as medium difficulty, because only in the application, and the small window vertical dash line is too high, the hand or to make a joint. The last one is the most comfortable, when playing the game, the corresponding function can appear by randomly swiping the left and right sides. But you can only use this mode when playing games, other times you can't. If it can borrow the Meizu small window call out method and then slightly change it, for example, it can still be drawn from the left and right lower corners of the screen, leaning towards the edge of the screen, it becomes a small vertical bar, what color is the application you exhale, what color is the small vertical bar that becomes (light), and can accommodate several small vertical bars at a time, that is, you can open the small window more. If you want to turn it into a mini window after drawing out from the left and right corners, use the navigation bar below, slide to the lower left and right corners of the screen, if you think it is in the way, click the mini window to push up to the top of the screen, or lean to the left and right edge of the screen, it will become a small vertical bar to hide. If you are using a regular application at this time, you want to turn it into a small window, what to do, from the bottom of the screen to the left and right edges of the screen on the line, if you want to hide into a small vertical bar in the leaning. If you want to turn it directly into a mini window, just swipe from the bottom of the screen to the bottom left and right corner of the screen. If both the left and right hands use the mobile phone, and the hidden small window vertical bar is not enough, then click or double the edge of the small window vertical bar to the side of the hand you are using now. At the same time, in the current mode, the navigation bar below the small window still retains the function of pushing off the small window, the navigation bar above the small window can still move the small window at will, the edge of the small window can still be adjusted, the application below the small window can still be operated freely, and the file pictures in the small window can still be dragged into other applications. This should be a relatively complete small window mode, of course, this is just a random design in my brain, if there are other solutions, you can also discuss.
Speaking of toolboxes, there are two kinds of toolboxes in MIUI, one is a video toolbox, and the other is a game acceleration toolbox, let's talk about video toolboxes first. Video toolbox, support screen recording screenshot projection screen listening screen recognition BGM and other functions, especially screen listening to drama, that is, video background playback, some applications do not support or want members to support, with this function, there is no need to complete those bells and whistles, but it has a disadvantage, after clicking on the function, the screen directly into the lock screen state, has become the nominal "information screen", but sometimes we do not need to lock the screen, what we need is the application background screen, that is, it can not be seen that it can also work normally, such as background playback on the B station, This is not a rare technology, and I hope that the next generation of MIUI can be changed. There is also a sound effect picture quality improvement below, according to their own needs, adjust, that is, after opening, they will often jump out of the pop-up window that Dolby Atmos has opened. The last column is the shortcut window application, you can enter the settings, select the application to present, the only thing is that the application order does not support user self-adjustment. Game Acceleration Toolbox, there is a small vertical bar at the edge of the screen, swipe to appear on the function page, there are two levels (right edge swipe is also OK) The first level is common software and functions. The second level is all supported small window applications and functional applications, functional applications include message shielding, switching network cards, voice changers, screen hang-ups, game projection, etc., neatly arranged, clear logic, and very practical. Of course, you can also go to the settings to find game acceleration, which has the option of GPU settings and advanced settings specifically for individual games. Below the game acceleration options, there is a MIUI lab, which has a component called a small window capsule, similar to the oppo flashback key, in the game after the hero dies it will prompt you the time of death, you click down to jump directly back to the game, with the use of the toolbox, there will be a good improvement for the game experience.
Privacy protection, talking about too many people, but it is really important, we mainly talk about what it can do, a total of ten points: 1. Intelligent allows to read the clipboard, whether the application reads or is rejected to inform the user. 2. The app will remind the user to delete pictures in the album. 3. Record all sensitive behaviors of the application and tell the user in the most intuitive way who is the rogue leader. 4. When the application locates, records, and takes photos, it will be clearly stated in the upper left corner of the screen. 5. While keeping the app running normally, castrate its ability to read private information such as photo albums and social app files. 6. When sharing photos, the system can automatically erase your location information and shooting information for safety. 7. You can choose your positioning, recording, contacts and other information, only when used to be obtained or only when used this time, prohibit the application to drag the family with the mouth, collect data, prohibit the camera from spying on you in the background, the application has all the dangerous behavior will inform you. 8. You can choose fuzzy positioning, blank pass, and virtual identity ID to prevent the app from fooling around with your information. 9. You can take out your invisible pictures, files, and applications when there is no light, and you alone can see it. 10, if this is not safe, you can use a particularly difficult to use mobile phone doppelganger function. This is an introduction to privacy protection, and it's a feature I love.
In addition to it, I also like AI calls, for the reason that I am ashamed, the two mobile phones used before do not support intelligent harassment interception, so when I saw the harassment calls presented in front of me in the form of text, I was stunned by myself. In general, AI calls are divided into three ways of answering, namely: automatic answer, telephone subtitles, manual answer, as the name suggests, automatic answer is to let AI automatically help you answer, manual answer is when it is inconvenient to voice, such as class meetings, you can reply to each other by typing, and then AI will convert it into voice to reply to each other; telephone subtitles are higher-order, you can hear the voice of the other party, you can also see the text of the voice conversion, according to your own convenience to choose your answering method, with voice, Or let the AI convert the text you output into speech. In addition, if the user is old, the text is small, a pull on the screen can enlarge the font, if the user is deaf and mute, you can make AI into voice by typing to communicate with people by phone, if the other party expresses a string of phones A strange address Some trivial lists, the user is not convenient to record, at this time the phone subtitles play an important role. If the user wants to review the content of the call, you can also find the recording transcript of the phone in the call log. The above are basic functions, and there are many small function points, such as custom timbre, automatic telephone answering, intelligent assistant answering, call record stamping mosaic, etc., for the call function, MIUI is everything.
Let's talk about MIUI+, what is MIUI+, and what can it do? Simply put, it is a cross-screen collaboration software that allows users to operate their phones on a computer and seamlessly transfer files between two devices. Then let's talk about its use requirements and specific operations, first of all, your computer motherboard must support WiFi Bluetooth, and secondly, the computer system must be win10 1803 or more versions, with these conditions after downloading and installing MIUI+, connect by scanning the code. On the desktop, a MIUI+ control panel appears, and the panel is divided into three parts, namely: Notification Center, Recent Files, and My Apps. First of all, the notification center, the mobile phone receives the message, will be synchronized to the computer side, click, you can reply to or process this message. Recent files, the three files or pictures recently received on the phone will be displayed here, click to preview it, you can also drag it to the computer, after modification, you can also drag it back to the phone, freely drag between the two devices. My application, here are three rows of icons, the first icon is, the phone body is displaying the application, you click, it will display the interface, you change the application, the icon will be replaced accordingly. The second icon, file management, as the name suggests is to manage files, open can be seen, has done the computer side of the large screen optimization, the function and other file management, support mobile phone computer side of the file mutual drag, support file preview editing, and edited files will exist in the phone designated folder. The third icon, notes, can create ordinary notes can also create thinking notes, you can also create on the computer side, with mobile phone assistance to take pictures, graffiti to achieve collaborative work. At the same time, notes also support text copying and photo dragging at both ends. In addition, on the right side of my application, you can also see a small square button, click, which presents all the applications on the phone, add by dragging or right-clicking, drag more applications below into my application, and then add new applications synchronously on the control panel. Click To Run to do everything that the phone can do, such as (demo) file dragging, keyboard text input, retrieving the camera, and so on. In addition, the window also supports keyboard shortcuts, while enabling three application windows, window top minimization maximization, mobile phone copy of text, photos taken, screenshots, browsing web pages will also appear in the form of floating windows in the lower right corner of the desktop, click, you can operate.
The above are the commonly used function points, here are some of the function points that I think are good but may not notice in daily life.
1. Little love students, daily use will turn off the intelligent voice, this time after opening found that the answer to the question response speed is fast, high accuracy, good sound, and a little naughty.
2. Healthy, can monitor the night snoring and dreaming sounds, but also can record the number of daily exercise steps and recommended calorie consumption. This feature is so good that single dogs finally know they can't snore after falling asleep.
3. Theme Store themes are very rich and free.
4. Children's space, basically covering all the needs of children's entertainment and learning, the parent center also selected a number of applications suitable for children to develop the brain, time management can stipulate the length of time for children to use the mobile phone each time, the interval time of each break.
5. Natural Museum, if it were not for this function, I might not have known for the rest of my life what the call of the capybara is like, nor did I know that there is a bird whose call looks like a person laughing, and zoologists will name it laughing kingfisher.
6. Screen time management, now people use the phone every day to spend much more time than to see the real world, screen management has a called device continuous use of the reminder function, you can remind you every once in a while, you live in the real world, put down the phone, to communicate with people more, and then you will find that the phone is interesting. There is also a concentration mode next to it, similar to the OnePlus meditation function.
7. Recent task style can be selected, avoiding a function that is uncomfortable for the entire mobile phone use career.
8. Three finger screenshot, click to take a screenshot, very convenient.
9. Click the alarm clock, you can edit without entering another page, and you can also choose a variety of elements of the ringtone in the settings.
10. Blur preview image, sensitive applications in the background blur, to avoid others to find your little secret.
11. Weather, there will be synchronized weather sound effects on days such as thunderstorms.
12. Music can choose a service provider, the interface is concise, and the commonly used functions are not less, and I hope that the video application can follow up.
13. Calculator, not only can calculate the generations of titles, but also can display the case of numbers, personal tax, mortgage is not to mention.
14. Support screen true color display, although I don't know if I can protect my vision, but I will certainly not suffer losses when I open it.
15. Universal remote control, for people with obsessive-compulsive disorder, is a great salvation, others take the slimy remote control, let me take it again, is no different from picking up on the side of the road, this life ends here.
16. WiFi, in addition to being able to share passwords, you can also see the devices connected on the Xiaomi router, which are managed on the phone.
17. Wallet and payment, support more than 20 kinds of transportation cards, support physical door cards, smart door locks, analog door cards, car keys and other functions, and also support custom writing cards, select personalized card surfaces.
Of course, the above part, according to personal usage habits, there may be some people who perceive strong and some people who perceive weakly, then the next, the third part, is that everyone can obviously perceive.
Three. High-frequency function experience
Here, we compare the hardware with similar configurations.
1. Starting from the application refresh rate support,
Test the software separately as follows:
WeChat, QQ, Alipay, Weibo 120
NetEase Cloud, QQ Music, Himalaya 120
Taobao, Pinduoduo, Jingdong 120
Quark 120, comes with browser 120
King, Proto-God, Peace Elite, 90 60 60
Three major video sites, Douyin, Kuaishou, B station, 60
After testing, it can be seen that by default, the frame rate of daily use of software is 120hz, the video application is 60hz, the king in the game is 90hz, the original god is 60hz, and the peace elite is 60hz. (Measured on K40 Standard Edition)
Of course, if you have a need, you can force 120hz to open in the developer options. (Demo)
2. Application opening speed, the same as the above software, after installing the same jump advertising plug-in, the test results are as follows: (after testing) open fast.
3. Flashlight opening way, this function for me is a high-frequency function, MIUI, you can double-click the power button to open, you can also tap the back cover of the phone twice or three times to achieve opening. Compared to other models, it is not very convenient, because every time you double-click the power button, the screen you are using will be turned off. The success of tapping the back cover is not the first to say, this kind of behavior that requires users to remember more than one interaction is not smart enough in itself.
4. The health code is open, which can be opened on the negative screen, or you can set the gesture to tap the back cover of the phone twice or three times to open, and there are other gesture options. The actual measurement can not be breathlessly tapped.
5. Notification Center, my requirement for notification messages is that except for messages such as WeChat, all other messages are blocked. But see other up owners said that Huawei is doing a good job and has the opportunity to experience it.
6. Screenshot, also mentioned above, three fingers on the screen to swipe down the screenshot, click on the screenshot screen is automatically screenshot, of course, you can also manually adjust the screenshot.
7. The application is double open, and the daily application is basically supported, but the notes that come with it are not supported.
8. Automatic brightness adjustment, the overall level of use, but sometimes there will be ambient light dimmed, the screen is still very bright, the ambient light is unchanged, flickering on and off. Especially the eye protection mode, one moment is particularly white and a little yellow, just like the white towel dipped in xiang.
Of course, this situation is very rare, and it can be remembered once.
9. Direction lock, I often think, if you watch a video to see a picture, I turn the phone, and the content I see also rotates. Browse the web, see the page, I want it to be displayed vertically, it is always vertical. I lay down, I leaned against it, it was all there, and I was showing myself in the most comfortable viewing experience. However, when you really use this function with this mentality, you will find that you are really ugly and stupid.
10. Take a picture, this function is on the K40, basically belongs to the deprecated use function, the camera opens very fast, the scan code is very convenient, and there is nothing else to say.
The above is the experience of high-frequency functions, and finally to talk about its shortcomings, things other than bugs, a total of 17 points.
Four. insufficient
1. After watching the video lock screen on the horizontal screen of Youaiteng B station, and then open it, it will first jump from the horizontal screen to the vertical screen and then jump back to the horizontal screen. Measured face unlock will not fingerprint unlock will, mobile phone horizontal screen will not take vertical screen will, I pay more attention to this is a detailed problem, after all, the bug will not be so dedicated, 100% reproduction. (Compared to mobile phones such as hammers)
2. Notes, there are bugs not to say, just say that the files and folders are a little more, the page is chaotic, so that I have to put all the folders to the top, in order to maintain the aesthetic unity of the interface. But in this way, the efficiency of the note page becomes low, coupled with the millet note design is a bit of a problem, that is, after you click on it, there will be blind vision for a while, and the focus cannot be found at once, which is not very good for heavy users of notes, and then the shorthand function is not good, although it borrows from the hammer flash capsule, but the reason why the flash capsule has a use scenario is because there is a physical button, it is on the other side of the phone, you press it, it comes out, very steady. This shorthand function in the upper left corner of the phone is a small vertical bar, the operation is not convenient, the phone has a lot of such edge vertical bars, with the video toolbox, like a pair of door gods, not good. In addition, the notes can not be double open, after writing the thinking notes, want to use it as an outline, you have to switch repeatedly, so that the desire to write dissipates. Of course, everyone's habits are different, MIUI notes are still very friendly for light recording, beautifully typeset, clean pages, and most importantly, no ads.
3. Portal, this function is also borrowed from the hammer big bang, but it is different from the big bang, the big bang is to press a button to immediately blow up the text, it is a time bomb, you also have to click on the text recognition, and then you can enjoy the silky after the explosion. Moreover, if you explode a large number of words, even if you click on text recognition, it is difficult to quickly find the content you want to copy, the reason is that it shows only a few rows of words, and it does not start near the place where your finger is pressed, but directly explodes the entire text at the press from beginning to end, you have to find the information you want, you have to carefully stroke to find, but in this way, the meaning of the big bang appears is gone. In addition, not all applications can support portals very well, the notes that come with it are not supported, you can't press it; the browser that comes with it, long press will jump out of the irrelevant window interface; when you want to translate or search for the exploded text, it will jump to the default browser, rather than open it in the form of a small window, and the experience is inevitably "split". Some Mini Programs in WeChat also do not support the portal function. Of course, in fact, there is a solution to all this, to the settings, find the portal, click the switch button, and turn it off.
4. Negative screen, usually closed, one of the reasons, every time you clean up the background, open it again, you have to reload. It was useless for a long time, opened again, the result is the same. (The latest version has been improved)
5. There are 120hz and 60hz options, why not set a 90Hz option that is both power-saving and smooth. There is a video on the Internet, seeing that the Redmi k40 brushed into Flyme is 90hz, indicating that the hardware above can be supported.
6. Browser download application will jump to the app store, if you are a gamer of an official service, download in the browser, it is likely to be wrong into the channel service, if you just happen to be suffering with the traffic download, hey hey hey, sorry.
7. The glory of the king opens the page is not fully displayed, and there are some cards, and the original god enters after the black screen.
8. The app store theme store is extremely ugly and the layout is unreasonable.
9. Click on the SMS message of China Mobile and other operators in the SMS, and the bottom will quickly become a page for charging traffic and charging phone bills, rather than a serious input bar.
10.MIUI+ often can not automatically connect, sometimes active connection is also difficult, often can not find MIUI + control panel, interface stuck, disconnected, delayed, etc. Now this version of wps text can not be pasted into the notes, mobile phone lock screen computer can not be operated. Even if it has been connected, the computer is 60hz, the mobile phone is 120hz, the experience is still not good, although this is not a problem of MIUI+, but the problem encountered by users in use is the problem of the manufacturer. In addition, after opening MIUI+, the phone sometimes has a very serious fever. The operation logic of MIUI+ is still based on the touch screen, put on windows, the operating habits are different from the computer, so it is not so handy to use. (There is an update in MIUI+ later, which is much better)
11. There is no such feature as bullet screen notification in game mode.
12. There is a delay in WeChat startup, other applications do not, I don't know if it is a single model or all.
13. In the unimportant notification, directly return to the desktop, the interface is at a right angle. Horizontal screen using the mobile phone, click into the non-important notification, inside, the notification arrangement will not be changed to horizontal display, still vertical display, you want to see the information, you have to turn the phone to see.
14. There are corner marks on the icon, you can't swipe up and down with three fingers, the system can't skip the start page ads, and the self-contained application has a start page ads.
15. The system is too bloated, the memory occupation is too large, it is recommended to make it modular.
16. Not exquisite, whether hardware or software, give people a feeling of not being on the grade, you see mate30, mate40, OPPO reno, and even part of the design of realme is higher than Xiaomi, but why can't Xiaomi invest some in the appearance, always say that no design is the best design, in fact, no design design is no design ah! I hope that Xiaomi will become stronger in terms of appearance.
17. Return to the desktop from the app, the interface will be dimmed, and turning off the eye protection mode can be solved.
Five. summary
Although this session of MIUI really pulls the crotch, but the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, its basic experience is still in the middle, but this year the horse lost its front hoof, coupled with the diarrhea that has not healed for many years, the two combined, withered a little, the user was sprayed all over the face, had to ah rice noodles to jump up and scold.
But that's not the solution, the solution is whether the MIUI team can listen to the right advice and what will they do next? However, this is not something that we ordinary consumers can influence, we are still honestly a small transparent user, waiting for the flowers to bloom!
