Xiaomi will develop its own mobile phone system? Senior executives say they are developing

The current domestic mobile phones, except Huawei, use the system developed for the second time on the basis of Android. There are few mobile phone systems that can be developed by themselves. In addition, Huawei's Hongmeng system is not released on Huawei's mobile phones. Only newer models are equipped. Although there is no new information about the system from major manufacturers recently, Xiaomi's senior executives were trapped by netizens and exposed that they were developing new systems.

Yesterday, a netizen asked in the comment area of @ Wang Hua, General Manager of Public Relations Department of Xiaomi Group, "When will Xiaomi develop its own operating system?".

Wang Hua's reply to this is "under research"and excludes the option of "Vela is AloT system", so there is only one choice left - mobile operating system. In the evening, @ Wang Hua also tweeted that "I was wrong and let slip my lips. I must be careful not to reply easily in the future. Don't try to talk to me again.

If the R&D is successful, Xiaomi will become the second mobile phone manufacturer in China to develop its own mobile phone operating system, and the first is Huawei Hongmeng Harmony OS. Aside from other aspects, Xiaomi's technical strength is very strong in terms of software systems alone. Even if it cannot compete with Huawei, it is at least stronger than OPPO and vivo.

Why do you say that? Xiaomi is one of the first domestic manufacturers to change the Android system and develop localized functions. Nowadays, many small functions that people are accustomed to initially come from Xiaomi's MIUI, which can also confirm Xiaomi's technical strength in software on a certain level.

Moreover, it is not unusual for Xiaomi to develop its own operating system. I still remember that Jin Fan, the general director of MIUI experience and the keynote speaker, said at the MIUI 12 system conference in April 2020 that "the existing capabilities of the Android system can no longer support our dreams". Therefore, on the MIUI 12 system, Xiaomi has brought a whole set of brand-new and extremely advanced technical architecture, including the rendering engine, the physical engine, etc.

Although the subsequent development of the event was beyond Xiaomi's expectation and there were too many bugs, looking back now, it is likely that Xiaomi has been working on the bottom layer of Android since MIUI 12 to test and reserve technology for the subsequent self-developed operating system.

In addition, Xiaomi has another motivation to develop its own operating system, which is to prepare for the upcoming Xiaomi intelligent car in advance.

At the end of Xiaomi's spring new product launch last year, Lei Jun officially announced that Xiaomi had invested 10 billion yuan in the field of smart cars. At present, the factory is under construction, and road testing of test vehicles has begun. According to official news, Xiaomi's first electric car is expected to be launched in 2024.

A very important part of smart cars is the car engine system. If Xiaomi develops its own operating system, it can easily get through all links of the Internet of Things such as mobile phones and cars, which is a great opportunity for Xiaomi's businesses.

It has always been the goal of domestic mobile phone manufacturers to develop their own systems. After all, mobile phones of their own brands must have their own systems. However, at present, there is very little information about Xiaomi's self-developed system. We can only know that it is in development, but the specific progress is not clear for the time being. Xiaobian is still looking forward to Xiaomi's self-developed system, hoping to bring more new experiences to domestic mobile phone users.
