Xiaomi is a company that manufactures equipment linked to the world of computing. Its smart televisions, screens, telephones and smart watches, among other products, are conditioned for the demands of digital information processing and communication that are experienced daily. In addition, they are launched on the market according to the latest sustainability standards that make them last for many years.
However, the fact that they are devices controlled by operating systems makes them prone to obsolescence in terms of software. In this regard, Xiaomi, like other companies engaged in the same technology business, ensures at least four years of software updates for the vast majority of its products. In other words, for four years, Xiaomi users will be able to adapt their products to the demands of future technologies, avoiding worries about renewing them early.
However, there are aspects related to prevention and maintenance in general that any user of a consumer electronic item should have.
Use strain relief
The ups and downs in electrical voltage are one of the main reasons for the rapid deterioration of items that work connected to the current. For this reason, power strips, surge suppressors and UPS units are marketed that protect them from overloads. Therefore, as much as possible, make sure to use these means of protection between your Xiaomi devices and power outlets, especially those equipment with expensive screens.
Update the software or firmware
Updating the software or firmware of a computer equipment, renews its functions, corrects operating errors and security flaws, among other vital aspects for the operation of all system components. Try to be informed about the latest available versions of the operating system you use, both through the information that is presented on the product screens and from Xiaomi’s online support area.
upgrade hardware
Renovating the storage unit, increasing the RAM memory or replacing the battery means giving new life to compatible equipment, such as computers. Try to be informed about the new hardware updates available for your Xiaomi electronic equipment.
And in the event that the internal hardware configuration does not allow it, as in a smart TV, it tries to prevent it from becoming outdated, connecting it to devices equipped with new entertainment services and image quality. We are referring to TV boxes and dongles that connect to the TV via the HDMI interface and come equipped with various operating systems such as Android TV, Google TV, Roku TV or Fire TV.
General recommendations
No matter how much better screen technology an electronic device has, it will always be exposed to the progressive deterioration of internal and external parts caused by continuous or excessive use. In this context, prevent your electronic devices from being turned on if you are not using them, for example, while you sleep.
Also, review the user manual of your Xiaomi equipment and apply to the letter the recommendations for use and periodic maintenance to be applied by the user himself: cleaning, location, review of electrical connections, etc.
