The Chinese manufacturer Xiaomi is one of the world's leading smartphone brands. The company has been among the top five global smartphone brands for quite some time. Recently, there have been reports that many Xiaomi employees are actually using iPhones, especially MIUI. The report claims that MIUI employees do not like using the MIUI system because there are many bugs. If the MIUI people can't use the MIUI system, how can they fix it? This has been the main topic of discussion for the past few days. With all that, Jin Fan, the head of MIUI, tried to refute these rumors.
According to Jin Fan, the company does not require employees to use Xiaomi smartphones. He said: "Although the MIUI team does not require everyone to use our brand mobile phone, almost everyone (more than 95%) uses Xiaomi mobile phones, and a few percent are mainly iPhones." He also claims that only one in ten MIUI employees actually use an iPhone.
In addition, he also noted that his smartphones for the past nine years have been Xiaomi. Some time ago, he bought a Xiaomi Civi and has been using it because he prefers mobile phones with relatively small screens. He also claims that the overall impression is very good.
Another Xiaomi employee, “Student Fang Ming”, also claims that it is difficult not to use Xiaomi mobile phones as his daily primary device while working at Xiaomi. This is because there are some important integrations that make life and work easier for employees. According to the employee, the Xiaomi smartphone integrates work cards, meal cards, bank cards, bus cards, public access cards, car keys, etc. In addition, the main unit connects to the Mijia ecosystem at home, which is really convenient.
However, it is sometimes important for a product manager to use competitor products to learn and improve. Do you think that the internal staff of a company that manufactures mobile phones should use competing mobile phones?
MIUI 13 is under testing
MIUI already intends to introduce the new system MIUI 13. According to the available information, the company will launch this system along with the Xiaomi 12 series on December 28. However, the Xiaomi 12 series may not debut with MIUI 13. Recent reports claim that Xiaomi is testing MIUI 13 on some models. These models are testing the MIUI 13 system on top of Android 12.
According to reports, Xiaomi is testing MIUI 13 on Xiaomi MIX 4, Xiaomi 11, Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G, Xiaomi 11 Ultra, Xiaomi 10S, Redmi K40 and Redmi K40 Pro. The version number is -V13.0.0.1.SKXCNXM (X represents the letters of different models, for example Xiaomi MIX4 is V13.0.0.1.SKMCNXM, Xiaomi 11 Ultra is V13.0.0.1.SKACNXM). However, the company only tests this system within its internal team. This system is not available to developers or internal beta testers.
