No, it's complete now. There's no MIUI15 left

No, it's complete now. There's no MIUI15 left.

Originally, Ji Ge thought that today was an ordinary Monday.

As soon as I arrived at the workstation and opened Weibo, I received another extremely explosive message..

According to the blogger @ Digital Chat Station, the major version of MIUI will be determined to terminate at MIUI14.

So what's going on next? Turn to the all-new MIOS.(Tentative name)

From the forwarding by official personnel of Xiaomi, the accuracy of this information should be relatively high.

Originally, Ji Ge thought that the end of the month would be the press conference.

It's time for a bit of an explosion about MIUI15.

Unexpectedly, not only did I not wait for any new features, but instead, I waited for the news that it would crash.

K60 Ultimate Edition:

Okay, okay, let's play this way, right? So why don't I update even more?

To get back to the point, although in the past few months.

Ji Ge also kept coming and going, seeing many revelations about Xiaomi's self-developed OS.

But coming so early is still somewhat unexpected.

And as mentioned in the disclosure, the era belonging to MIUI will come to an end on MIUI14.

As is well known, MIUI was once the leading customized system in China.

In recent years, it has still ranked first, but it has become Dispute comes first.

(As of MIUI14 release)

For current Xiaomi mobile phone users, MIUI may have become a symbol that people both love and hate.

Today, taking this opportunity, Brother Ji will take everyone back and review the past thirteen years of MIUI.

High light period: MIUIV1~MIUI11

On August 16, 2010, it was a full year before the release of the first generation of Xiaomi phones.

The first MIUI beta version based on Android 2.2 was released on the MIUI forum at that time, with the first batch of 100 participating users.

From then on, the fate gear belonging to MIUI began to spin wildly.

As the first work of the Xiaomi team.

The emergence of MIUI was indeed very forward-looking at that time.

Firstly, in terms of mode, it pioneered the "Orange Friday" internet development model, which is tested every Thursday and contracted on Friday.

The MIUI team delves into forums and interacts with users to implement the functions that everyone most wants into the system.

In Mr. Lei's words, it means "making friends with users".

Subsequently, with the emergence of Xiaomi mobile phones.

The release of MIUI has gradually formed two major versions: the development version and the stable version.

Among them, the development version is subject to internal testing from Monday to Thursday and public testing on Friday.

In that era when almost everyone was browsing, MIUI's series of tricks immediately attracted countless gaming users to flock to MIUI forums.

In just one year, the number of users skyrocketed from 100 to 500000.

Of course, in addition to greatly enhancing everyone's sense of participation through the development model.

Another major killer of MIUI is functionality.

For example, in the initial version of MIUIV1, it was the first to use a tiled desktop, replacing the traditional drawer style desktop.

In addition, for the first time, it also supports functions such as quick switches on the notification bar and quick phone calls on the lock screen interface.

Although there are still many imperfections in the initial version of the system.

But its arrival has actually laid a solid foundation for the development of domestic Android over the past decade.

Similar pioneering features will be commonplace in subsequent major updates.

MIUIV2 brings the classic dialing interface T9 search.

The comprehensive and free theme features starting from MIUI11 were born in MIUIV3.

Even MIUIV4, which is rarely mentioned now, was an epic update at the time.

The new features brought include: Xiaomi Cloud Service, Mi Coin, Xiaomi App Store, intelligent alarm clock skipping legal holidays, and so on.

Yes, this feature that iPhone users must mention every holiday was actually born in 2012.

As for MIUIV5, let alone.

For many Rice noodles, this is the most classic version ever.

Leaving aside app runtime permissions, WiFi QR code sharing, garbage file cleaning, smart tags for unfamiliar calls, and smart aggregation of notification SMS Don't talk about a bunch of new features.

Just this completely redrawn icon is enough to attract a large number of face watching users like Jige.

Take a look at the appearance at that time, and then look at the present, harm..

For MIUI, MIUIV5 is also considered a milestone version.

The number of users is also in that generation, once again experiencing a surge.

Released in April 2014, MIUI had over 50 million users in May.

By February 2015, it had doubled to 100 million..

The subsequent versions of MIUI6 and MIUI7 should be considered relatively flat.

The main focus is on design, with icons shifting from objectification to flattening.

But, everyone seems to prefer the previous style a bit..

Including in subsequent updates, MIUI has always followed a similar style.

Of course, the core functions are still being improved.

Applications like MIUI8 have dual opening and mobile phone separation; MIUI9's portal, Xiao Ai's classmate; MIUI10's comprehensive screen gesture; MIUI11's Xiaomi intercommunication, AI calls

It is not an exaggeration to say that at this stage of development, MIUI has become the undisputed first customized system in China.

At that time, the one that could rival it was the Flyme of Meizu, but there was a significant difference in size.

But!

Even with such a halo, the MIUI team has been around for nine years.

I still want to do something big in the upcoming tenth anniversary.

What's the result of this Something happened.

Struggle period: MIUI12~MIUI14

Regarding the development of MIUI during this period, everyone present should be quite familiar with it.

Ji Ge mainly talks about some issues with MIUI.

Starting from MIUI12, MIUI has focused on benchmarking the dynamic effects of iOS.

Indeed.

Amidst the limited changes in design styles in previous generations, the MIUI12, known as "Touch Imagination, Feel Reality," was stunning at the beginning of its release.

Through a large amount of low-level refactoring, MIUI12 brought the first animation effect on Android at that time.

It's just the follow-up, and everyone knows..

The MIUI step is too big, and many mid-range computers simply cannot carry this dynamic effect.

In addition, Android 11 began to change the underlying file system, and Qualcomm launched the Firedragon 888.

The dual adaptation pressure of software and hardware directly made the MIUI of that period of time a mess.

To put it bluntly.

Since MIUI12, the focus of 12.5, 13, and 14 has been on addressing various issues left over from that year's MIUI12.

With the current MIUI14, many problems have indeed been solved.

But some things that were once proud of, due to the lack of skills in the development team, gradually fell behind.

For example, in terms of functionality, MIUI is more of a follower than a leader.

Some features such as large folders and custom high brush are only catching up after other brands have become popular.

For example, since the release mode was adjusted to the development and official versions.

Not only did it not become more humanized, but instead It's even more chaotic.

The development version focuses on testing new features and upgrading to the official version of the pie, but has not been implemented;

The official version and the development version have not yet implemented the practice of mutual brushing without clearing data.

Even some new machines now have no development version available.

Only the official version of the system.

Yes, do you want to say that MIUI14 is really poorly done? Actually, it's not enough.

For most people, the basic experience is not a big problem.

Some old features that have been accumulated over the years are now occasionally praised by everyone.

So why are many people still dissatisfied with it now?

In the final analysis, everyone is still used to it. It is the best domestic system.

Instead of being like this now, it seems almost interesting here and almost interesting there as well.

(Kuan rating)

The next MIOS will be a brand new beginning.

Whether it's still based on Android 14 or abandoning Android and turning to self research.

For users who have previously chosen Xiaomi due to MIUI.

Everyone is eagerly anticipating that Ami can really announce the return of the king this time..
