Lei Jun Launches Xiaomi YU7 Standard Edition Renaming Vote; Over 10,000 Users Support Keeping Original Name
Phoenix News Tech - August 12, Xiaomi founder and CEO Lei Jun initiated a vote on whether to rename the Xiaomi YU7 standard edition late last night. According to current voting data, users who support keeping the original name "standard edition" outnumber those who want it renamed.
This renaming vote was sparked by a misunderstanding among many users who thought the Xiaomi YU7 standard edition was an entry-level or "bargain" version. Lei Jun stated that the standard edition actually comes with powerful configurations, including a battery life of 835 kilometers, a 700 Tops algorithm-based Thor chip, and laser radar, which are comparable to those of Pro and Max versions from competitors.
In the voting discussion, users had differing opinions. Some believed that Lei Jun's decision to add some unique configurations to the Xiaomi YU7 standard edition was aimed at boosting its competitive edge, but the overall performance and services of this version were still inferior to those of competitors.
Among users who support keeping the original name, some argue that renaming it may further widen the gap with competitor products and even prompt jealousy from competitors. Therefore, it's better to maintain the original name.
On the other hand, users who support renaming expect that it will promote healthy competition and progress in the industry.
The debate on whether to rename the Xiaomi YU7 standard edition is still ongoing, with the final result yet to be determined.
