Xiaomi Watch S1 Pro

Problem / Solution

Xiaomi faced three challenges:

  1. Maintaining a consistent user experience across a diverse product range built on varying hardware.
  2. Delivering superior graphical performance and user experience in a highly competitive market.
  3. Controlling costs by avoiding licensing / royalty fees due to high sales volume.

By integrating LVGL into Xiaomi HyperOS, Xiaomi achieved a unified UI that efficiently performed across different devices, from resource-constrained microcontrollers to high-powered processors. LVGL’s open-source nature coupled with its free licensing model helped Xiaomi avoid unnecessary expenses.

LVGL has been instrumental in crafting the Xiaomi Watch S1 Pro’s user interface. The framework’s flexibility, performance and openness allowed us to create a visually stunning and highly responsive UI that seamlessly integrates with the watch's advanced features. LVGL has empowered us to deliver exceptional user experience for fitness enthusiasts of all levels.
