Privacy protection function goes further Xiaomi MIUI 12.5 system upgrade experience.

In the past year, Xiaomi brand officially entered the high-end mobile phone market, and many high-end flagship mobile phones of Xiaomi 10 series were also warmly welcomed by rice noodles. In adhering to the development of high-end product lines, product experience is very important. MIUI 12 launched by Xiaomi this year has fundamentally brought users a substantial experience upgrade from interactive use to security.

MIUI 12 has won wide acclaim in the industry for nearly eight months after its release. On the basis of this version, a new MIUI 12.5 is released, which brings users a better upgrade based on MIUI 12. The new system launched the first cross-border product MIUI+, which realized the seamless cooperation between mobile phones and computers and made business office more efficient and convenient. In terms of security and privacy, MIUI 12.5 continues to increase investment to lead the industry and polish products with the highest privacy standards in the world to provide users with the safest protection. Next, let's take a closer look at what changes MIUI 12.5 has brought.

Xiaomi MIUI+ realizes the ecological integration of Android and Windows.

MIUI+ is the first cross-border product of MIUI, which realizes the ecological integration of Android and Windows. This function can be used on any PC, even without Xiaomi's notebook products. The emergence of MIUI+ makes the cooperation between mobile phones and computers faster and the business office more efficient.

Now, with the increase of the screen and the improvement of the performance of our mobile phone, more and more users choose to use their mobile phones to complete some light office tasks, such as replying to emails, making documents and pictures. Therefore, in multi-device scenarios, users often have the need for data transmission between mobile phones and PCs. MIUI+ allows users to copy a paragraph of text when reading and browsing on their mobile phones, and the computer can paste it directly; Conversely, when copying a piece of content on the computer side, the mobile phone can also paste it directly and forward it or process it again on the mobile phone side. Greatly shortened the transmission path of the original information.

MIUI+ can also directly project the mobile phone screen onto the computer, and simultaneously display photos and screenshots on the computer through wireless transmission. Users can seamlessly save it locally and drag it directly into third-party programs. When the mobile phone uses WPS to browse documents (Word, Excel, PPT, PDF, etc. ), if the user's computer is also turned on, there will be a bubble prompt, and the user can choose to use the computer relay operation. The computer will automatically locate the location where the mobile phone browsed before, and save the document synchronously after editing, and send the latest document version back to the mobile phone.

MIUI+ adapts to the brand-new Xiaomi notes and file browser on the big screen. When used on the PC side, it is no longer limited to the vertical screen display of the mobile phone. After the screen is projected on the computer, it can become the layout of PC software, which is more familiar and more convenient, intuitive and interactive to operate.

Xiaomi MIUI+ breaks down the barrier between Android and Windows from the bottom of the system to achieve cross-platform and cross-system efficient operation. On the basis of Xiaomi's rapid transmission of documents and pictures across devices, the ecological integration relay between multiple devices has been further improved, greatly improving the efficiency of collaborative office work between mobile phones and computers.

MIUI 12.5 Security Privacy Upgrade

In addition to the brand-new MIUI+ cross-platform functions, MIUI 12.5 continues to increase investment in security and privacy, leading the industry and providing users with more thorough right to know and manage. MIUI 12.5 adds four functions: intelligent clipboard privacy protection, file sandbox mechanism, web browsing privacy protection and location information privacy protection. It defends user data rights with the strictest privacy standards in the world, and even surpasses the world's leading iOS in some aspects.

1, privacy protection of shearing board

MIUI 12.5 has increased the protection of clipboard contents. When we use an Android phone, the application can read everything in the clipboard by default. When an application needs or doesn't need the contents of the clipboard, it will be read by the application. When we use it, we often copy some information and paste it into WeChat or email. In fact, this behavior of default permissions will bring some security and privacy problems. Many times, users don't know the problem of applications accessing the clipboard when using their mobile phones, so copying some important data using the clipboard will be read by many applications.

In MIUI 12.5, Xiaomi changed the clipboard reading to only permission, and the system will judge whether the user needs it according to the contents of the clipboard. If so, it will let the application read it. If not, the reading behavior of the application will be prohibited to protect the contents of the clipboard. The clipboard privacy protection function added in MIUI 12.5 needs to be clearly informed to users before the application obtains clipboard data. In addition, the user has the right to decide whether to give the application the right to read the clipboard, which is more thorough than the protection of Apple's iOS 14.

2. Privacy isolation sandbox

MIUI 12.5 also added the file sandbox mechanism, which is the first mobile operating system in the Android field to realize this technology. File sandbox mechanism is a privacy protection mechanism based on application authorization "reading and writing mobile phone storage". When an application requests the permission to read and write the stored mobile phone, the user can choose to close the authorization of "photo album" and "social application file" at the same time, or open only one of them to further subdivide the usage scenarios, thus protecting the user's sensitive private data. For example, the map app needs to be read and stored when used, but the map will not use the data of social application files at all, so it can be closed after authorized reading and writing, and it will not affect the subsequent use operations at all.

3. Browser privacy protection

When we use the mobile browser, in fact, many people don't know that we collect all kinds of information from users when we open the web page. In different web pages, there are permission records of detailed behavior of web pages. When we use it, we will unconsciously generate permission calls, which will lead to information being retrieved.

When opening a web page, there are often some trackers for tracking to identify and collect user information. It may be a page, a piece of code, or a picture or a font, which may become a tracker. When we browse the web, the geographical location, identity and data in the mobile phone are likely to be taken away. The browsers of MIUI 12.5 will recognize these trackers.

The new version of MIUI 12.5 adds the privacy protection function for web browsing. Through the further judgment of the user's operation behavior and the in-depth analysis and judgment of multiple dimensions of the web page by the client, the system finally realizes whether to reset the web page or trigger the download pop-up. When users browse the web, there will be no suspected automatic download behavior. In addition, the MIUI 12.5 browser also adds an Internet anti-tracking module, which cuts off the path for the tracker to obtain user information from the root to prevent the user's privacy from being leaked.

4. Privacy protection of location information

MIUI 12.5 increases the privacy protection of location information. The new system will add fuzzy position customization function. For apps that don't need accurate location information, such as shopping with Taobao, as long as the located city is accurate, they can be used normally. At this time, users can choose to apply fuzzy positioning on MIUI 12.5, which can effectively prevent users' location information from being abused.

This year, the release of MIUI 12' s security and privacy protection functions has led to an innovation in the whole industry, in which the flare function of MIUI 12 has been recognized by the state and will be included in the mobile phone access standard. All mobile phones connected to the network should have their own "application behavior record" query function. MIUI 12.5 further increased investment on the basis of MIUI 12, further optimizing the protection of users' private data.

MIUI 12.5 Creating Top Aesthetic Design

The brand-new MIUI 12.5 has greatly upgraded the basic experience of the application, and comprehensively optimized the memory, performance and power consumption of the application. By rewriting the system UI, the memory of the core scene is reduced by 20%. According to official data, the average memory usage in the background of system applications decreased by 32%; The average application power consumption of the system decreased by17%; The power consumption of super wallpaper decreased by 40% on average, and MIUI 12.5 made the mobile phone system lighter, faster and more power-saving.

MIUI 12.5 also provides users with more comprehensive and non-uninstallable system application settings. By uninstalling and minimizing hidden system applications, the number of desktop icon apps that cannot be uninstalled is equivalent to that of iOS, and the system desktop is purer. Only nine system applications such as mobile phone housekeeper, camera, photo album, compass, settings, app store, browser, SMS and dialing cannot be uninstalled.

In MIUI 12, Xiaomi developed the dynamic effect architecture of light cone, which laid the top technical foundation. MIUI 12.5 light cone architecture by going up one flight of stairs, including gesture Turbo, computing power upgrade and model classification. MIUI 12.5 light cone dynamic effect engine adopts multi-thread rendering, which is the exclusive technology in Android field at present. Full-screen gestures use multi-level rendering, which separates the rendering of the gesture layer from other renderings and puts it into an independent thread to ensure that gesture animation can still run smoothly under the condition of tight resources.

The notice, volume panel and desktop search box of MIUI 12.5 all provide frosted glass Beijing, which also provides users with softer visual effects. Boot animation, millet change and application download all have animation effect bonus, which makes the download process and data transmission process more clear at a glance.

MIUI 12.5 light cone dynamic effect architecture needs strong mobile phone hardware support, so this time 12.5 also distinguishes the effects according to different models, classifies the models according to the mechanism of high, medium and entry, and optimizes them one by one, thus ensuring that different models and more millet phones can enjoy the upgrade experience brought by MIUI.

MIUI 12.5 released new Xiaomi Notes.

In addition, MIUI 12.5 released a new function of Xiaomi's notes, which has been fully upgraded in the aspects of thinking notes, graffiti, shorthand, excerpt and typesetting. Thinking note is a highlight function in MIUI 12.5, which is more suitable for organizing and summarizing "structured information" and opening up business and office people. Shorthand is also an office tool created by MIUI 12.5 for business people. In any interface of the mobile phone, you can quickly call up the global shorthand panel through the side, support the creation of viewing notes and to-do items, and support the excerpt function to help users quickly collect links, words and photo notes. And the concept of graffiti was added to the notes. You can draw graphics with four kinds of brushes, and you can automatically identify straight lines and connecting endpoints.

MIUI 12.5 Released Snow Mountain Super Wallpaper

Xiaomi MIUI is the first mobile phone system brand in the world to realize the perfect connection of information screen, lock screen and system desktop. Up to now, MIUI 12 has brought users super wallpapers of Mars, Earth and Saturn. This MIUI 12.5 brings the crystallization of technology and aesthetics-Snow Mountain Super Wallpaper and Geometry.

MIUI 12.5 barrier-free touch

In terms of sound effects and tactile sensation, MIUI 12.5 has also been greatly upgraded. When we use the mobile phone in real life, we will turn on tactile feedback, which can make us have an interactive feeling when using the mobile phone. The tactile sensation in MIUI 12.5 can help the mobile phone to achieve fine operation.

Through different feature simulation, different soft and hard textures are constructed. MIUI 12.5 provides users with a rich tactile library, such as inertial collision, knocking, pop-up, sliding switch, hovering, adsorption, long press and other feedback. More delicate tactile feedback can make the mobile phone warm, enhance the sense of interaction and make the mobile phone more vital.

It is precisely because of these rich tactile sensations that Xiaomi MIUI 12.5 further enhances the experience of barrier-free users. For 338 million visually impaired people around the world, today's smartphones are a piece of smooth glass. When they want to click a button, they need to listen to the voice broadcast to confirm where their fingers are now, and then double-click to confirm their choice.

In MIUI 12.5, vibration can directly transmit information and make up for the defects of voice broadcasting. MIUI barrier-free touch allows visually impaired users to "touch" interface elements through fine touch design. Through tactile assistance to "read the screen", different interface elements present different tactile sensations, thus quickly perceiving different manipulations. For example, no-operation text simulates the rustling texture of writing on paper, the sweeping texture of sliding bar, and the rolling selection simulates the roller effect. The natural connection between tactile sensation and touch content is more convenient for users to remember.

When tactile sense is introduced, visually impaired users can clearly perceive important interface changes, such as page switching, jumping or popping up, which have corresponding tactile sense.

abstract

Xiaomi upgraded MIUI again after half a year and launched MIUI 12.5 system. The release of MIUI 12.5 is not only a perfect visual design, animation effect and convenient interactive experience. As a leader in the industry, MIUI 12.5 expands the experience of using mobile phones through tactile feedback, which makes the interaction between people and computers full of vitality. MIUI 12.5 also brought MIUI+, the first commercial office product, and the strictest security and privacy protection mechanism in the world, which further connected the usage scenarios of mobile phones and desktop PCs and ensured the information security of users. Xiaomi's mobile phone has ended the cottage era in China before, and now the launch of MIUI 12.5 has ended the era of Android APP's arbitrary access to user privacy.

Judging from the number of model upgrades and adaptation speed, MIUI has always been the conscience of the industry. With the end of the press conference, the internal testing of MIUI 12.5 also started simultaneously. MIUI still adheres to the principle of upgrading as many models as possible, so that more people can experience the fun brought by technology.
