The following author takes the above four points as clues to have an in-depth experience of MIUI 8.
Brand-new interface design and beautiful colors.
MIUI 8 has done a lot of redrawing on the interface of the system, and the design inspiration comes from kaleidoscope. On the one hand, it pursues the brightness and vitality of color, on the other hand, it pursues the natural change of color to reflect agility. For example, the notice bar can automatically change color according to the weather, and the software such as calendar, tape recorder and weather can also change color according to the situation. In addition, the animation effect of the system has also been redesigned, which not only pursues the coolness of animation transformation, but also pursues the natural logic behind the dynamic effect, such as reducing the dynamic effect of the shredder that removes the interface when hanging up, and deleting notes.
MIUI 8 was added to Xiaomi Lanting font, which was polished by Xiaomi and Fangzheng 18 months. Optimize the details of the standard Lanting font, enhance the unity between words, make the impression more exquisite and beautiful, and improve the fatigue of reading for a long time.
MIUI 8 has also added a screen-locked pictorial function, which provides high-quality picture sources in conjunction with more than 50 professional media, can be automatically updated according to personal preferences, supports one-button replacement, and is fresher to use. It can be said that MIUI 8 has been completely redesigned, with a more dynamic interface and more refined content.
Perfect function, easier to use
MIUI is famous for its timely and complete function updates. As a leap-forward upgrade, MIUI 8 has brought many fresh and practical functions, covering a variety of usage scenarios in life, mainly focusing on the following functional points.
1, application, mobile phone avatar
MIUI 8' s unique "separation" function is divided into two levels. The first level of separation lies in the application separation, that is, the double opening of most applications. There are two WeChat, two QQ, two Weibo and any software related to account login in the mobile phone at the same time, and the data between the two applications does not affect each other and can be run at the same time. This design solves the embarrassment of multiple accounts of one person, and can better switch identities in work and life scenes. For mobile game lovers, it is also easy to switch sizes.
The secondary avatar of MIUI 8 is the mobile phone avatar, that is, by setting different passwords/fingerprints to log in to different desktops, the data between the avatars are also isolated and encrypted. Today, mobile phones hide a lot of our privacy, and this function will have more significance in some scenarios. For example, someone temporarily borrows a mobile phone, quietly enters a "visitor" account, and hides some relatively private applications, so as to protect privacy.
2. Powerful sweeping
The sweeping of MIUI 8 is also a highlight, which is not limited to daily bar codes and QR codes, but also supports sweeping, translating, scanning questions, scanning business cards, scanning documents and so on. According to the author's usage habits, Sweeping Litao has a very powerful function. When you see a favorite item, you can immediately sweep it, and the mobile phone can search out the price of the item in Taobao merchants, helping us make the most suitable consumption choice.
For students and friends, the function of scanning questions may be more practical. When you encounter problems in your homework, you can immediately sweep them. The mobile phone can give detailed problem-solving steps, support the answers of all subjects from Grade One to Grade Three, and generate learning reports after use, which further helps to consolidate knowledge points.
3. Multifunctional calculator
In MIUI 8, the calculator is upgraded to a full-function calculator, which integrates practical tools such as calculating mortgage, individual tax, provident fund, unit and exchange rate conversion, and is suitable for various calculation scenarios. For example, when we travel abroad, Haitao needs foreign currency exchange rate conversion. The calculator supports multi-currency conversion, and the exchange rate is updated in time, which is intuitive and fast. For the majority of office workers, the calculation of salary tax, bonus and welfare, mortgage payment, etc. It has also become clear and practical.
In addition to powerful functional integration, MIUI 8' s calculator has also greatly improved its experience. Every input number, every operation has clear steps. In order to deal with the input errors of individual numbers and operation symbols, the calculator supports modifying the calculation steps at any time, which makes the calculation process full of security. In addition, the calculator also supports Chinese capitalization conversion of numbers to solve the embarrassment of forgetting words when filling out the reimbursement form.
4. Long screen shots
MIUI 8 adds a long screen capture function, which is not only a regular scrolling screen capture, but also allows users to adjust the speed and position of long screen capture by manual sliding, so as to find the area that needs screen capture and realize accurate screen capture. In addition, MIUI 8 also adds graffiti and mosaic functions, which facilitates the next processing and editing of screenshots.
It should be said that the appearance of long screen capture function has many practical significance. Imagine that without this function, we would intercept the web pages, emails and chat records of social software (WeChat, QQ, etc.). ), and we have to piece it together through a few screenshots, which undoubtedly adds a lot of trouble and the final rendering effect is not ideal. The long screen capture function provided by MIUI 8 solves the above embarrassment well, and it is satisfactory in operation process and presentation effect.
Improve performance and pay attention to safety.
MIUI 7 significantly improved the system performance and fluency. MIUI 8 goes a step further on this basis. Aiming at the phenomenon of debugging between Android applications, it introduces a chain startup management function, which effectively limits the chain wake-up problem of a single application in the background, thus effectively controlling the background program operation and memory consumption, making the system smoother and more power-saving.
In addition, MIUI 8 focuses on security and privacy, and adds a chip-level pseudo base station short message identification function to prevent users from being deceived by pseudo base station short messages through three aspects: pseudo base station short message identification, short message phishing website risk warning and browser URL detection. Nowadays, the concealment of pseudo base station SMS fraud is getting higher and higher, which makes people hard to prevent. MIUI 8 can effectively intercept spam messages, identify phishing websites in short messages through big data, and make effective reminders. It doesn't matter even if you accidentally bump into the phishing URL link in the text message. The URL detection of MIUI browser will further verify the URL, and if necessary, it will carry out corresponding interception and filtering to fully ensure the safety of mobile phone use.
NFC payment is gradually improving.
For the NFC function of Xiaomi 5, MIUI 8 has many bright spots in payment. The first is the newly launched Xiaomi bus function, that is, the mobile phone travels as a bus card. The entrance of Xiaomi bus is hidden in Xiaomi wallet. Now it has access to bus card services in Shanghai and Shenzhen, and will continue to support Beijing, Guangzhou, Wuhan and other cities to maximize service coverage. In addition, in order to encourage everyone to use Xiaomi bus, a certain card opening fee will be subsidized at present. Take the opening of Shenzhen bus card as an example, the highest subsidy can be given to 29 yuan, which is convenient and affordable.
In addition to Xiaomi Bus, MI Pay also appeared with MIUI 8, supporting the binding simulation of credit cards and savings cards of many banks. The experience is the same as Apple Pay, and it is still in the internal testing stage. In terms of fingerprint payment, it has been confirmed that at the end of September, Alipay and WeChat will gradually adapt to the fingerprint payment of MIUI 8. At that time, fingerprints will guarantee our payment security on MI Pay, WeChat and Alipay at the same time.
MIUI 8 Experience Summary
As a symbolic upgrade of MIUI, MIUI 8 continues the fluency of MIUI 7. The interface design is inspired by kaleidoscope, which is in the same strain as the previous work. There is not much strangeness in vision, and with a lot of natural dynamic effects, it can not help but bring users closer to the system. Function update is the focus of this MIUI 8. The application/mobile phone is divided into two parts, scanning, calculator and long screen capture are eye-catching. The continuous improvement of safety and performance makes users more intimate, as well as Xiaomi bus and MI Pay functions launched together with NFC. It can be said that MIUI has penetrated into our life in all directions and has become the core competitiveness of Xiaomi mobile phone.
After three months of re-polishing, MIUI 8 finally officially launched a stable version on 1 1 this morning, which fully supports a full range of devices such as Xiaomi 2, 2S, 3, 4, 4C, 4S, 5, Max, Note, Redmi and Red Rice Note. In my opinion, MIUI can be selected by 200 million people, which is not only a kind of luck, but also a kind of responsibility. This responsibility is presented in MIUI 8, which is the reliability and stability of the system and the continuous improvement of its functions. This is very valuable in the current customized system, so I suggest you upgrade it as soon as possible.
