In the current smartphone market, manufacturers are focusing on two main areas. The first is significant upgrades in the technical specifications of new devices.
The second area is system optimization of the phones to ensure long-term use and maintain excellent stability for existing users.
Particularly with operating systems, the release of Android 15 Beta1 and the increasing efforts behind Huawei's HarmonyOS signify intense competition in the upcoming market.
However, Xiaomi's Surge OS is still developing smoothly, with regular weekly updates on its progress. Once again, they have announced new improvements.
The progress report from Xiaomi addresses various issues encountered by users while using Xiaomi products and announces corresponding optimization progress.
In this announcement, several fixes were provided. For instance, the issue of the smart assistant widget going missing during the internal testing of the smart assistant travel service has been resolved through the efforts of the relevant team members.
Additionally, the problem of insufficient version prompting in the flight and travel app, resulting in data not displaying, has been rectified. Users will no longer experience inconvenience due to low version prompts when using the flight and travel features, ensuring more accurate and timely data display.
Though only two issues were addressed this time, more fixes are expected to be completed by users in the coming days.
And besides the resolved issues, the announcement also lists some ongoing problems that should be fully addressed in no time.
For instance, there's an issue with incorrect information displayed during the beta testing of the smart assistant travel service, which relevant colleagues are actively addressing. Users can stay tuned for updates on the progress of these efforts.
Simultaneously, the issue of delayed display of desktop folder application icons is also under investigation, and it's believed that these issues will be properly resolved in the near future.
It can be said that no product can be flawless, and this is also one of the key elements that Xiaomi's Penglai OS system needs to address through fixes.
Additionally, the announcement also addressed issues related to third-party applications, such as the problem of blank notification messages from the Meituan app that cannot be deleted, and the issue of Meituan's focus notifications becoming ineffective.
These issues involve the development and maintenance of third-party applications, and Xiaomi is actively communicating with relevant developers to seek solutions.
Furthermore, the problem of Tencent Video crashing has been addressed through developer optimization, and users can verify the optimization situation in subsequent use, enjoying a more stable viewing experience.
As for the crashing issues with apps like Zhongyou Youto, Honor of Kings, and Douyin Lite, developers are also actively working on resolving them.
While these issues have impacted the user experience, Xiaomi has acknowledged their existence and is actively working to resolve them, which undoubtedly gives users more confidence and anticipation.
Moreover, although these issues may seem minor, they are critical factors affecting the user experience, so it is essential for Xiaomi phones to push hard in their improvements.
If these optimizations continue to lag, it naturally becomes challenging for users considering a new device to think about choosing a Xiaomi phone, possibly leading to significant hesitation.
Once the issues are resolved, consumers will naturally consider Xiaomi's new models when selecting a new phone.
Furthermore, it is only through continuously gathering user feedback, analyzing the root causes of issues, devising optimization plans, and driving implementation that the quality and user experience of the product can be continuously improved.
Moreover, given the current market development trends, it is estimated that Xiaomi's Surge OS system will soon step into adapting to the underlying Android 15.
Coupled with the strong performance of competitors in system optimization, this has been a crucial factor driving Xiaomi's Surge OS to continually strive for improvement.
Therefore, for Mi fans, all that's left is to patiently wait until the official version is released for updating and experiencing the new version.
Finally, it's important to note that optimizing product experience is an ongoing process, and updates are primarily aimed at development versions, with minimal impact on users of the official release.
So, the question arises: have you encountered any issues while using the Surge OS? Feel free to reply and discuss.
