Xiaomi's model release in the first half of the year has come to an end!
Although it was only the first half of the year, in the first half of the year alone, Xiaomi released six models.
It covers the price range from 2299 to 9999.
Let me put it this way! The number and positioning of models released by Xiaomi in the first half of the year are comparable to those to be released by friends all year round.
It sounds a bit exaggerated, but it's true.
This does not include our own "Redmi"! If you count Redmi, it's really "double happiness" compared with friends!
Sure!
In the second half of the year, everyone will definitely make a difference. Is it to launch an enhanced model? Still new? Before the arrival of Qualcomm 888 Pro and MediaTek 900, they were all unknown.
But what is certain is that Redmi's "K40 Universe" will be improved.
Judging from the current "top-level" configuration of Xiaomi 1 1 Ultra, it is hard to imagine that Xiaomi will have a higher and stronger model.
With this time and energy, polishing GN2 and MIUI 12.5 is more meaningful.
After all, the performance of GN2 on 1 1 Ultra is still not as good as expected. MIUI 12.5 also has room for improvement in stability.
But obviously, Xiaomi is not idle at present. While he began to optimize the old models, he continued to open a brain hole in his own "patent" wall.
Previously, we enjoyed Xiaomi's "unique" design in the model appearance patent.
For example:
Before the scheme of "lifting camera" and "screen-digging design" came.
In order to achieve the perfect "full screen" design, Xiaomi designed the design of moving the "front camera and earpiece" out of the fuselage.
Although the perfect full screen is retained, from the perspective of "visual beauty", the design seems to be a bit disadvantageous.
In other words, uglier!
Perhaps Xiaomi realized this, so this design was not adopted in later models.
If adopted, I feel that Xiaomi 8 can finally find the bottom partner!
Sure!
It is not all that Xiaomi's design patent is meaningless, and the starting point is right. It's just that from the current point of view, it's really ... a design without design may look better.
But the next one, Guoguo feels very intimate and cool!
Add a "split Bluetooth headset" such as AirPods to the fuselage and integrate it into the top of the fuselage.
When you need it, pull it out of it and break it.
When it is not needed, break it straight and put it in the hole reserved at the top.
Guess: headphones are also charged by the battery in the fuselage, so it is quite convenient to achieve the effect of "unplugging as you use them".
However, the design is also difficult, and the thickness of the fuselage in the rendering also illustrates the truth. When using this design, it is impossible to make the fuselage light and thin, and the stacking of internal space is also a big problem.
The patent of this design is meaningful, but it is not easy to realize.
At this time, some friends will say it! Xiaomi registered so many appearance patents, and none of them were put into use?
Actually, there is, but it is limited to similarity.
For example, the enhanced version of the Redmi K40 game released earlier adopted a brand-new "lightning" design in the flash position.
It's quite recognizable.
This also reminds the fruit of the design patent of "lightning modeling camera" registered by Xiaomi.
In fact, if the camera really adopts this design, it is quite appropriate to put it on the enhanced version of K40 game.
It's cool to have identification and a multi-camera scheme.
But the arrangement of camera modules is definitely difficult, which is beyond doubt.
Sure! These are all design patents that Xiaomi applied for before. It is the latest design patent of Xiaomi. This will definitely scare you!
At first glance, I thought Xiaomi was going to produce "toilet paper" or "paper roll"!
(yes! Fruit at first glance)
However, according to the patent description, this product is a scroll-screen mobile phone, including the screen rolled into the storage state (basic state) and the screen unfolded state (a use state).
This is really a "scrolling" mobile phone design.
It is similar to oppo X2021,which was previously released by OPPO, and contains a "scrolling structure" and a "sliding frame" that can slide out horizontally and store the screen.
In addition, the overall shape adopts the cylindrical design of Xiaomi's classic "Little Love Classmate Speaker".
Judging from the patented design, the dense openings should be the location of "speakers", and it is said that there are "three cameras" behind them.
At the top is the "power button".
Although it is classified as a curved screen mobile phone, Guo prefers to believe that it is a product that combines "little love speaker" and "touch screen speaker".
Then use "scroll screen" to increase its function.
In other words, it can be a pure love speaker or a touch screen speaker that can slide out of the giant screen.
Because of such a large volume, I obviously don't want to be classified as a mobile phone!
If it is used as a speaker, the price will not be cheap with the blessing of a huge scrolling screen.
Therefore, as for Xiaomi's plan to launch a design patent, the result is hard to say.
However, according to the quantitative performance of Xiaomi's patent application last year:
5 16 design, the first in China, the fifth in the world!
Still very strong.
However, when these good designs can be applied to the models released now may be a point that everyone is more concerned about.
After all, you can't always be ridiculed that "all your designers have gone to Redmi"!
