The three most noteworthy changes in MIUI 6

1. Design principle: Design serves content

MIUI6 has made attempts in interface design, color environment, animation effects, and icon refinement, taking "content is the essence" as the design principle, and the design is completely for the content. Take the compass application as an example. When the compass APP is turned on and placed flat on the desktop, it can serve the function. When the compass is slowly lifted up, its dial gradually disappears, replaced by the real scene and direction, and the user and the "content" overlap seamlessly.

In terms of color, MIUI6 uses elements of the content itself to design colors, and then uses colors to set off the content, ultimately allowing users to focus on the content itself.

2. Update of cloud service system

MIUI's cloud service is one of Xiaomi's core competitive advantages. The newly released MIUI6 has also optimized and improved the cloud service, supporting the synchronization of ten categories of data including contacts, text messages, albums, WLAN settings, App data, music, and recorders. In addition, it also supports cross-device synchronization. For example, if you browse a web page on a Xiaomi tablet at home, you can continue browsing it on your mobile phone when you go out.

3. Improvement of the underlying common services

1. Download optimization

Regarding the optimization of the service layer, MIUI has made some new system-level integrations, such as the integration of the Thunder P2SP download engine, which greatly improves the download speed of the mobile phone and greatly improves the download experience for users.

2. Security and system acceleration

In terms of security, MIUI can scan and check for viruses before installing apps. When installing apps from unknown sources, it will pre-scan the installation package and issue a warning and block the installation if any problems are found.

3. Yellow Pages Service

Xiaomi Yellow Pages is an "online 114". Through user tags and partner number databases, MIUI can already identify nearly 50% of unfamiliar calls.

In addition to phone identification, Xiaomi Yellow Pages visualizes service content. The visualization of service content is divided into two aspects: one is the visualization of the voice menu during the call process, and the other is to seek services directly in the corporate yellow pages without making a call. For the former, MIUI has deeply customized commonly used service numbers, covering nearly 50% of users' call needs. For the latter, Xiaomi has introduced more than 20 service providers, including Kuaidi Taxi, Dianping, STO Express, 58.com and other service providers. Users can enjoy services such as charging/checking phone bills, checking/sending express, buying train tickets, taking taxis, calling designated drivers, registering, buying movie tickets, etc. in Xiaomi Yellow Pages. For users, they can conveniently obtain life services through the shortest path.

As for the current situation of MIUI, its ease of use is already very strong. The MIUI team has made better optimization and improvements to Android in terms of user experience. The MIUI6 released this time has been strengthened in three aspects: design, cloud services and underlying services, and is constantly optimizing the details. However, for MIUI, the newly released MIUI6 is just the beginning. The weekly updates and iterations are the driving force for users to continue to look forward to it.
