How to pronounce Xiaomi correctly in Russian and what does this word mean

24/10/2020 by ALOK DAS

The name of the company Xiaomi is constantly heard by people who are more or less interested in mobile technologies. This Chinese company has long since moved away from releasing exclusively smartphones, trying itself in a wide variety of related technological areas. Just speaking about Xiaomi, we are constantly confused about the pronunciation of the company name. It is sometimes called Xiaomi, then Shayomi, then Chaiomi or Siaomi … I must say that most people mistakenly pronounce the name of the Chinese brand. How to speak correctly?

♥ BY TOPIC: Hernia, Preservative, Сrest, Absent and other 60 English words that are often translated incorrectly.

What does the word Xiaomi mean?

In Chinese, the word Xiaomi is formed by two characters. The first literally means “small” 小and the second is “rice” 米… In fact, a direct translation of the word from Chinese will give the phrase “little rice” or “grain of rice”. But what does this have to do with the tech giant?

It’s all about the brand concept. In Russia, there is a proverb “Bread is the head of everything”. In China, the symbol of prosperity is just rice. According to Xiaomi marketers, the products of this brand should ultimately be needed by every person in his daily life, like rice on the Chinese table.

♥ BY TOPIC: Who has the most followers on Instagram – 40 most popular accounts.

How to pronounce the word Xiaomi

There is a special romanization system for the Chinese language – Pinyin. It allows you to read a word written in Chinese letters. The characters underlying the brand name will be read as Xiao (xiao) and mi (mi). The correct pronunciation will be “Xiao-mi”, with the stress on the second syllable. Moreover, its sound should also be stretched – “Xiao-miyi”.

His opinion on the pronunciation of the name of the company was expressed by its (now former) vice president Hugo Barra, who once held a similar position at Google. At the BGR India event, the businessman explained the origin of the company name and suggested calling it Shao Mi. Barra explained that the first syllable should sound a little longer than the second and that it would be correct to start a word with an exceptionally soft letter “w”. To repeat the Chinese manner of pronunciation, the businessman recommended thinking about the English phrase “show me the money ”(show me the money).

In the meantime, there is no need to know about it. ”

But it’s worth considering Barr’s background. It is likely that the Brazilian simply does not have enough knowledge of the Chinese language and pronunciation of words depending on the region and dialect. And an English-speaking person, in principle, has difficulty in pronouncing the syllable “sya”. Thus, there are only two correct variants of the brand pronunciation – “xiao-mii” and “shaoo-mmi”. And to call the brand “xiaomi”, as many are accustomed to, is a mistake.

Back in 2010, Xiaomi could timidly call itself “little rice”, but today it has grown significantly. According to the latest estimates, the company’s value is already $ 46 billion. For a while, Xiaomi even ranked third in the world among smartphone manufacturers. But the Chinese have ambitious plans, for which they are actively conquering more and more new markets. And more and more people in the world are beginning to use the word Xiaomi in their everyday life to refer not only to their smartphones, but also to a wide variety of gadgets.

If before it had to be taken out of the capsule, now the power adapter is magnetically attached directly to the device. The contacts are located on the back side, next to the heart rate sensor.

The battery capacity was 125 mAh, which will allow you to work autonomously for up to 14 days in normal mode and up to 20 days in energy-saving long-term operation.

In late spring 2020, the company introduced a new model of budget wireless headphones, Xiaomi Air 2 SE. The novelty can already be bought on the expanses of AliExpress (link at the end of the article).

Design and functionality

Inserts received 14.2 mm drivers. These headphones are semi-open type, without silicone tips. Complete with them comes a case that acts as a charger for wireless headphones. Each Mi AirDots 2 SE liner weighs just 4.7 grams. The weight of the charging case is 48 grams. Connecting to a smartphone or other devices is done using the Bluetooth 5.0 module.

Such a connection will be quite stable and energy efficient, while the signal is simultaneously fed to each headphone.

The manufacturer claims the presence of the noise reduction function of the environment, but it seems that it will look more like a marketing option than a real quality function. Noise compensation and clipping of third-party sounds will be ensured by the operation of two independent microphones.

Autonomy and ergonomics

The manufacturer promises that the overall autonomy can be an impressive 20 hours, while the gadget itself can play music up to 5 hours on a single charge. The case is fully charged in an hour and a half via the USB Type-C port. The model still has a clear positioning, its price category does not imply the possibility of wireless charging.

Control

This model of headphones received touch control. The panels are located on the outer surface of the liners. Xiaomi Mi AirDots 2 SE can automatically stop the sound when you get the headset out of your ears. The infrared sensor is responsible for this. The most informative will be the use of headphones paired with a Xiaomi smartphone. The MIUI shell will allow you to better monitor the battery status of the device. But XiaoAI’s proprietary voice assistant in Russia is not yet relevant.

The difference between Mi AirDots 2 SE and Mi AirDots Pro 2S

Sometimes you can get confused in the variety of models, especially if they differ in a couple of letters in a long index. The older model, Mi AirDots Pro 2S, supports the improved LHDC codec, while the newer, Mi AirDots 2 SE, works with the AAC codec. Air Pro 2S has support for Qi wireless charging, but it also costs twice as much. But AirDots 2 SE turned out to be a more compact case. It no longer has clearly rounded edges, it is almost a rectangle. The charge contacts of the AirDots 2 SE are now located on the side, and not the bottom, as was the case with the Pro 2S.

11/04/2020 by ALOK DAS

Amazfit Bip smart watches have shown that devices of this kind can be both inexpensive and very functional. That is why the gadget became a hit. It was replaced by an update, the Amazfit Bip S. The manufacturer introduced it at CES 2020 in Las Vegas. How successful was the novelty and what distinguishes it from its predecessor?

Amazfit Bip S Package Contents

In a dense cardboard box, in addition to the watch itself with a strap, there is a cradle for charging them, as well as instructions in several languages, including Russian.

Design by Amazfit Bip S

The watch has the same rectangular shape as its predecessor. The only physical button is located on the right side of the device.

On the back of the watch is a biometric sensor and two contacts for charging.

The case is made of polycarbonate, so the watch turned out to be quite light.

Amazfit Bip S is available in 4 color options: red, black, white and pink. The predecessor of colors also had 4, but the green and gray options were no longer in demand.

A removable silicone strap with a width of 20 mm received a body color, except for the red version – here the accessory turned out to be dark blue. Belts 110 and 85 mm long are available.

Amazfit Bip S Screen

At first glance, the screen completely repeats the version of its predecessor – the diagonal is preserved, a successful type (reflective, not fading in the sun and energy efficient). But the number of colors increased from 8 from the predecessor to 64. This makes the picture much brighter and more realistic. The main control of the clock is carried out by touching the screen with fingers and swipe.

Amazfit Bip S screen gets feature support “Always on display” (Always-On Display), which the previous model did not have.

Amazfit Bip S Software

Connecting to a smartphone is carried out through a separate Amazfit Watch application (link for Android, link for iOS), and not through MiFit, like the first generation of watches.

To create a pair with a smartphone, you must turn on the watch and scan the QR code that appears on the watch with the Amazfit Watch application. This procedure allows you to pair with your smartphone via Bluetooth.

Using the Amazfit Watch application, you can configure the watch’s behavior for various events: notifications, an alarm, unlock the screen, as well as set a goal for future workouts and track activity statistics for previous days: sleep quality, steps, heart function, and much more.

Amazfit Bip S are equipped with a closed operating system that does not provide for the installation of third-party applications.

Amazfit Bip S features and capabilities

The new watch looks clearly more functional than its predecessor. The 40 official dials immediately attract attention. Amazfit Bip S communicate with the smartphone via Bluetooth 5.0, while the previous model worked with the fourth version of the protocol. The watch has a section of sports training, in which there are 10 different programs, previously there were only 4.

Huami’s new biotracker can not only measure the pulse, but also monitor its status, giving notifications if the threshold value is exceeded. Previously, activity monitoring was present only in the older Amazfit GTS and GTR models. The sensor turned out to be more accurate than it was in the Bip, and also consumes 5 times less energy than its predecessor.

There is a music control function, now you can switch tracks directly from the clock.

Standard functions have not gone anywhere: stopwatch, alarm clock, timer, weather and others.

The main control of Amazfit Bip S is carried out by swipes and touching the screen.

Horizontal swipe Scroll through the main screens: dial, pulse, steps, PAI (activity statistics), weather and player.

Vertical gesture from top to bottom Opens the Control Center with the buttons for the flashlight, screen brightness, screen lock and Do Not Disturb.

Vertical gesture from bottom to top opens a notification menu.

Pressing the physical wheel button when displaying a screen with a dial will launch a menu with various parameters, including:

Achievements – displays the current user activity (the number of steps taken, calories burned, etc.),
Pai – Personal Activity Analysis (Personal Activity Intelligence) – measuring the user’s physical activity based on heart rate and collected data (number of steps, pulse, height, age, weight).
Heartbeat – activation of the pulse measurement sensor and viewing statistics;
Sport – The choice of training regimen, among which: running outdoors, walking, cycling on the street, running indoors, cycling indoors, swimming in open water, swimming in the pool, elliptical trainer, mountain climbing, trail running, skiing skiing, free (strength training);
Compass;
Timer – two applications are located here: Stopwatch and Countdown.
Weather – weather forecast;
Music – a music player that allows you to control playback;
Alarm clock – Set and change existing alarms;
Settings – the section contains options that allow you to change: watch dials, screen brightness, the action of the scroll button with a long press, as well as Find phone and system actions: Off and Reset.

To return to the level above, you need to make a gesture from left to right.

The main purpose of Amazfit Bip S is to display not only time, but also useful information: call notifications and messages from various smartphone applications, the number of steps taken, weather forecasts, the name of the track played by the smartphone.

The Amazfit Bip S main screen is an information dial that displays widgets with important information in the center of the screen (for example, weather, heart rate, or a reminder screen).

Widgets on the dial can be changed and added – you can display a stopwatch, alarm, charge indicator and any other of about 20 available functions.

During training, the watch not only monitors your speed and distance traveled, but also calculates calories burned.

Activity leads to scoring and issuing virtual rewards.

The pulse measurement is carried out quite accurately (except for swimming training), which is quite enough for fitness classes.

It should also be noted the possibility of receiving notifications from various applications from a smartphone.

Unfortunately, this feature has not been developed in Amazfit Bip S – you can’t respond to notifications, as well as communicate using voice using a watch. You can only see the incoming call and the presence of a new message from the messenger.

Connection of services for receiving notifications is carried out in the Amazfit Watch application.

Autonomy Amazfit Bip S (how much the battery holds)

Amazfit Bip S has an impressive battery life thanks to a selection of electronic components and technology to optimize energy consumption. Naturally, the battery life of a device is strongly affected by battery life. On average, you can talk about 12-13 days of the device’s operation in the regime of three workouts per week for 45 minutes with GPS on, 15 minutes of daily screen work, 150 push notifications on the screen, 30 wrist lifts to view the time and 5 minutes for other operations each day.

If you leave tracking enabled, the watch will be able to remain active for up to 22 hours.

With not very active use – viewing time + 100 daily notifications and a screen brightness of 10%, Amazfit Bip S can work up to 40 days.

Water Resistant Amazfit Bip S

Amazfit Bip S watches are waterproof at a depth of 50 meters, and the water should not be salty (sea, ocean). The manufacturer guarantees the full performance of the watch in the event of splashes, rain or snow, while swimming in fresh water, as well as taking a cold shower.
