Xiaomi Auto’s first ＂heavyweight move＂ came： 澎湃 OS.

Xiaomi’s first "heavyweight", it’s coming!

Qualcomm Snapdragon Summit will be held from October 24th to 26th. At that time, Snapdragon 8 Gen3 will be officially unveiled as a new generation of high-end flagship SoC, and Xiaomi 14 series will be released at the end of October as the first model.

Wait, aren’t these things about the mobile phone circle? Do they have anything to do with the car circle? Don’t tell me, there is.

As the most important new product launch conference of Xiaomi in the year, in addition to Xiaomi 14 series, many people are still looking forward to the more mysterious Xiaomi self-developed OS, Xiaomi car, etc., and just today,Lei Jun really announced Xiaomi’s new self-developed first-generation system, namely Xiaomi HyperOS and 澎湃 OS system.

Xiaomi 澎湃 OS: the ecological operating system of people and cars

Like Xiaomi’s self-developed chips in history, Xiaomi’s self-developed system is also named after "澎湃".

Lei Jun said,It is based on the deep evolution of Android and the self-developed Vela system integration, completely rewriting the underlying architecture, and making a public base for the future tens of billions of devices and tens of billions of connections, which is a key leap for Xiaomi to move towards the whole ecology of people, cars and homes.

At present, the official version of Xiaomi 澎湃 OS has been packaged, Xiaomi 14 series will be the first mobile phone equipped with this system, and production has started, and MIUI will gradually be replaced and disappeared.

Xiaomi mobile phone and Xiaomi smart home must be very familiar to everyone. After all, who doesn’t have one or two Xiaomi smart speakers or Xiaomi-sized household appliances at home?

What I am most looking forward to this brand-new Xiaomi HyperOS is undoubtedly its terminal interconnection ability, especially in terms of handcart interconnection.

Since the beginning of this year, with the mobile phone manufacturers entering the field of new energy vehicles, they have given full play to the accumulation of software intelligence that they are extremely good at, which has brought a comprehensive dimension reduction blow to the car.

For example, the Huawei HarmonyOS HarmonyOS intelligent cockpit, which has gained a great reputation in the industry, has become an important reference factor for many users when buying cars, and Meizu Flyme Auto, which helped Link 08 rank among the first echelon, has become its core advantages in terms of system fluency, UI aesthetics, functional interaction and the most unique ability of handcart interconnection.

Handcart interconnection is a general trend, but car companies with shallow software foundation obviously do not have such ability for a short time. Today, in addition to Huawei Meizu, car companies have also opened up the interconnection between Weilai mobile phone and Weilai car machine, realizing their own ecological closed loop.

Therefore, whether the entry of Xiaomi Auto and Xiaomi HyperOS can bring great changes to the industry has become a point that everyone is looking forward to at the beginning of next year.

Two big tricks of Xiaomi automobile: cost performance and intelligence

According to Guo Ming Tan, a well-known analyst of Tianfeng International, Huawei’s sales of M7 exceeded expectations, symbolizing that the competition focus of China electric vehicle market began to shift to autonomous driving, software, marketing and channels due to the high industrial division of labor in manufacturing.

Judging from Xiaomi’s core competitiveness, this new competitive pattern is undoubtedly very beneficial to it. Although Xiaomi’s car-making qualification is still very mysterious to the outside world, the progress of Xiaomi’s first car is rumored to be very smooth. Some time ago, it was also tested in various parts of Xinjiang in summer, and the 800V high-voltage platform achieved excellent energy consumption performance.

Xiaomi’s first car is positioned at the B+ level, with a sliding back design, which is similar to the popular Tesla Model3 and Tucki P7. In addition, the roof of the car will be equipped with the Helsai Science and Technology Lidar invested by Xiaomi.

On both sides of the car body, the same or optional solid-state blind-compensating radar is installed to provide stronger perception, make up for the backwardness of software algorithms, and accelerate the high-order intelligent driving to catch up with the first echelon of the current industry.

As for the battery pack, Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited will be selected as the battery supplier for Xiaomi’s first model. Previously, the parameters of the online exposure battery pack were rated voltage of 726.7V, rated capacity of 139Ah and battery degree of 101kWh. It is not difficult to see that it is a real 800V high-voltage platform model, and its positioning is not low, or it is within the price range of 250,000-300,000 yuan.

Comprehensive and cost-effective hardware stacking is obviously the best trick for Xiaomi to invade a new field. At the moment when the intelligent competition of automobiles is gradually becoming the core, the birth of Xiaomi HyperOS can also show Xiaomi’s leading edge in the intelligent cockpit, which is the natural strength of mobile phone manufacturers.

In addition, as a global top 500 enterprise, Xiaomi also has mature and perfect business channels in many overseas markets such as Southeast Asia, which is also the basic accumulation of Xiaomi Automobile going to sea in the future.

Therefore, for Xiaomi Automobile, I’m afraid it’s more appropriate to describe it as "everything is ready, only the east wind is needed". Let’s take a look at whether the Xiaomi car listed early next year can completely subvert the whole industry.
