I can never return to a phone without this display functionality

I have never been the kind of climb and shine. During the 31 years of my existence – or, at least, for the major part, I remember very well, to wake up early in the morning was a lamentable exercise for me, unless, of course, to travel or welcome people I love. Instead, I can feel the neurons of my brain stop better in the downs of the night, and therefore, I made the effort to make sure that the technology of my life is best suited to better use these hours.

This company includes the creation of the perfect atmosphere for work by defining desktop lights on minimum lighting, choosing color modes on my PC monitor which filter certain nuances and ensuring that my phone does not influence me while working, or worse, to destroy my eyes due to extreme brightness or bright colors in low light. Thus, with each device that I use, I use blue light filters from sunset to sunrise and I find ways to cut the brightness beyond what the integrated cursor allows. And in this process, I came to develop a taste towards the implementation of a single brand.

The interface is hyperos, and my weapon for demonstration today is the Xiaomi 15, a compact flagship product of the company. Here’s how this feature reformed my night use of the phone and why I find it hard to leave it for phones from other brands.

Most phones offer their own reading mode versions, mainly to allow you to read without tightening your eyes. But what comes out is the implementation by Xiaomi of functionality in Hyperos; It is also available on the old MIUI interface of Xiaomi and on Redmi and Poco devices.

Turn the reading mode on the warming of the screen, depending on the principle of cutting blue light. But it goes beyond the simple change of colors on the screen. I really admire the version of Xiaomi because it brings an additional parameter which allows a paper texture on the screen. Of course, this is done by software, a bit like what NXTPAPER de TCL is posted. When activated, it can also deflect the colors and make the screen look like a colorful electronic online display, as seen on the Android electronic readers of Kindle Colorsoft or Boox, when looking at distance, especially the night when there is little or no dazzling external light sources.

Hyperos also allows you to cut colors entirely with a black and white mode. Although said B&W filter is a standard Android feature, it is a more soothing visual experience when combined with the textured effect.

The most obvious advantage of this textured effect is that it makes the display easier – but also less stimulating – to look. The mute colors easily lower my desire to continue to make Instagram coils. In fact, I find it much easier to detach yourself from flashy and fast content with the activated function.

Because visuals deceive my brain believing that it could be a really textured display, as on a Kindle, I am invited to find out more. It is much easier for me to stay focused on reading than to hunt dopamine.

The sensation is not limited to simple application reading like Kindle, but also applies when I am jumping the web pages. When I come across a long article which arouses sufficient interest, the dull color helps me to avoid being attracted by advertisements or other integrated supports and allows me to stay focused on the text.

Although the reading mode is mainly designed for reading at night, I find myself counting on it even during the day. Since my day revolves around the screens, as it must be yours, I find that the texture in the shape of paper relieves to look even during the day. In fact, I recently observed that instead of actively put the functionality in low light, I keep it activated on my phone throughout the day.

This allows me to make quick escapes to read a few paragraphs from a book, which maintains my curiosity and maintains the reading cycle. And it turned out to be a better alternative to waste my work breaks eyeing the coils.

But when it is at night, I use a second feature with the reading mode to continue reading without irritating my eyes or considerably delay my natural melatonin release.

The maximum brightness of the screens of our phones is generally a subject of reward for telephone brands. But the emphasis is rarely placed on improving the use of low light. While some brands claim to make screens less tiring for the eyes by opting for a high frequency of PWM (or modulation of pulse wave), this does not abuse brightness, which can awaken you longer than usual and affect the sleep cycle in general. Therefore, I count on additional measures to make the brightness of my phone as low as possible physically.

Xiaomi is among the few brands that offer this default functionality, however, for an unknown reason, the parameter is hidden. Fortunately, it is easy to recover it and activate it in a few simple steps.

How to activate a lower on Xiaomi hyperos:

You can activate the functionality with these simple steps:

1. Start by downloading the Even Application of the Play Store.
2. Authorize authorizations and go through the configuration. Although there is an option to switch to a paid version that deletes ads, you can only do the free version.
3. Press the beaker icon at the bottom and under “display settings”, find Extra Dim. Press the option.
4. To make the functionality lower easier accessible, activate the option for quick parameters.

Xiaomi Hyperos is one of the many Android skins, and it’s far from perfect. However, a feature as simple as the capacity of the reading mode to overlap a texture was too difficult to push back. There are certain characteristics of the operating system that I hate, such as its lack of support for gestural navigation or divided notification and fast parameter panels designed with a convincing amount of inspiration from the control center in iOS. However, the hyperos reading mode brings me back to Xiaomi, Redmi or Poco phones from time to time.

Xiaomi’s paper reading mode is a useful accessibility functionality which, in my opinion, should be more widely available. It can be easily applied to the screen, like any blue light filter, with simple authorizations to draw other applications.
