With the release of the Mi 13 series, we have finally ushered in another major MIUI update: the official release of MIUI14.
Like Xiaomi, who was the first to engage in the domestic Android mobile phone operating system, MIUI’s functions can be said to be the most “extensive and comprehensive” among all Android operating systems. For many users, it is convenient and hassle-free to integrate all the functions they want to use into the results of the system.
However, the pure stacking method of MIUI12 has caused many users to question Xiaomi’s development logic on the forum. Adding many functions may not be used by users during the whole life cycle of the mobile phone, so Xiaomi started from MIUI12.5. I did subtraction up to the MIUI14 generation, and finally started the “Razor Project” wholeheartedly.
If I had to describe Project Razor in one word, it would be: erase.
Anything that the user does not want and which does not affect the normal operation of the basic functions of the phone after deletion can be deleted in MIUI14. In MIUI14, not only can we delete the pre-installed third-party software, but also the built-in software such as “Video”, “Theme” and “Clock” can all be deleted, and finally only 8 essential software are left to achieve the maximum slimming effect .
Another is cleaning duplicate files, this is definitely a very urgent feature for users who use mobile phones for heavy office work. When a user continuously forwards the same file between multiple social and office software, the software continuously copies and pastes this file to form multiple duplicate files.
Imagine you are forwarding a PPT which is often hundreds of megabytes in size, the file size will be very large after a long time. MIUI14’s duplicate file cleaner can accurately judge multiple duplicate files in the system memory and remind users to compress them, further solving the problem of insufficient storage space on mobile phones.
The low-frequency application compression function will be judged according to the user’s usage habits, which software you will not use several times a year, but do not want to delete it directly.At this time, MIUI14 will compress low-frequency applications that have not been used for a long time.
Different from the “rude” approach of iOS to directly delete low-frequency software for you, the main space saved by MIUI14 is the product of compiling these software after booting.
Many users consulted me in our community, asking what is “the other” displayed in the system software and why it takes up dozens of gigabytes at every turn. In fact, these compiled products are the culprits. Compressing the compiled product does not affect the user experience of clicking through the application, but it can “maximize” system storage usage.
The last point is that the permanent notification can be turned off.
I don’t know if you have this kind of experience, i.e. a lot of software will reside in the notification tray to give a user a function that the user doesn’t actually need. Many of the UIs of these notifications are relatively simple and may not be seamlessly integrated with the user interface of the phone itself. And the most exaggerated thing is that many APPs don’t set a separate switch for this notification residing in the settings. If you want to turn it off, you can just turn off all notifications of the whole software, but this will affect the normal push message of the software, which is not worth the candle.
By updating the entire system logic of MIUI14, closing the notification of the resident application is as simple as closing the normal notification. At the same time, when the application is opened for the first time, the user can directly choose whether to allow viewing of the application’s resident notification, which is very user-friendly.
In addition to streamlining the system, the photon engine of MIUI 14 also plays an important role in smoothness. By optimizing from the lower level of Android and providing this function to third-party application developers, it makes third-party applications run smoother and more smoothly. Save energy electric.
Previously, MIUI provided users with many small functions focused on privacy and security, such as “flares”, “blocking networks” and “hidden masks”.
After a year of hard work, MIUI has obtained the five-star personal information protection certification and the CTA 5 certification issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, which are respectively the highest certifications in the field of privacy and of the security of intelligent terminals.
Due to the wide application of AI functions in recent years, many users have become accustomed to letting AI process multidimensional information such as images and sounds for more accurate response.
However, in the cloud data comparison process, it is difficult for users to ensure the privacy of their information. MIUI 14 further strengthens the end-side privacy features of the system, allowing more data to be computed locally without the need for the cloud. For example, functions such as taking pictures to extract text and Xiaoai classmates’ real-time subtitles are all completed through the local computing power of the mobile phone, and will not upload any user privacy to the cloud.
Even if we turn off the mobile network and mobile phone Wi-Fi completely, the text in the image can be recognized normally, and the success rate is very high. Xiaoai Translator’s real-time subtitle function can also be done locally, which is not too thoughtful for users who are chasing “raw meat” movies and TV series for the first time, and because the whole process does not need to be connected to the Internet, even on a business trip, can complete the translation display.
Since MIUI 13, Xiaomi Miaoxiang function has always been the focus of Xiaomi’s advertising, but this is not strong for the unfamiliar user experience perception.Starting from MIUI 14, Xiaomi has added the earphone transfer function: users just need to drag and drop the Xiaomi earphones to the corresponding device in the notification center to connect multiple devices.
And the device with the same ID also supports cross-screen interconnection function, no matter what device the headset is connected to, it can be checked in the Miaoxiang Center of all devices.
In addition, now users only need to connect the tablet to the notebook’s Miaoxiang Center, so that the tablet can share the notebook’s mouse and keyboard, and directly import the contents of the tablet to the notebook by dragging and dropping, without Complex data transfer process .
If you want to experience the above functions, you need the connection of multiple Xiaomi devices, but not every Xiaomi user will be equipped with a Xiaomi Family Bucket, but who dares to say you don’t have a Xiaomi smart home product or two at home ?
For these smart home control terminals – Mijia, a major content upgrade has also been carried out. MIUI 14 supports multi-device intelligent scenarios, helps users automatically summarize high-frequency usage devices, multi-terminal synchronization reminder security alarm function, and adds local control function, which can be controlled without network and the response speed is increased by 3 times.
Finally, MIUI 14 also offers a new family service function, which can add up to 9 people to a family group and share services with family members. The shared photo album function can store the fragments of the whole family and can also set the photos as a family screensaver to bring together the memories of the whole family.
At present, MIUI 14 is installed on Mi 13/13 Pro when it leaves the factory, and the release plans for the other versions are as follows:
