AI-Xiaomi: What it is and how to use it in 2026

Why Xiaomi is actively implementing artificial intelligence in their devices

Xiaomi has long ceased to be just a manufacturer of budget smartphones โ€“ today it is an ecosystem of smart devices where artificial intelligence is used (AI) It's a key term ยซAI-The mode is increasingly found in the descriptions of Mi TVs. TV, smartphone Redmi/POCO But what exactly is behind this feature? Spoiler: it's not just a marketing ploy, it's real algorithms that optimize the work of the equipment to suit your habits.

In this article, we will discuss how AI-The mode works across Xiaomi devices (from TVs to wearables), what tasks it solves, and whether to turn it on, and also give step-by-step instructions on how to set up and reveal hidden features that are not written in the official manuals. Did you know that in some models, the Mi TV Artificial intelligence can automatically adjust the sound to the genre of the film?

What is AI-mode in Xiaomi: definition and principles of operation

AI-The Artificial Intelligence Mode is a set of machine learning algorithms built into the firmware of Xiaomi devices, which is designed to analyze user behavior, external conditions and content, and then automatically optimize settings for a better experience:

  • ๐Ÿ“บ In Mi TV โ€” Improves the image and sound depending on the genre of the film.
  • ๐Ÿ“ฑ In smartphones โ€“ distributes processor resources to save battery.
  • ๐Ÿ’ก In smart lamps - adjusts the color temperature for the time of day.

It is important to understand that AI-Mode is not a single universal feature, but a set of technologies that work differently depending on the device. TV Q2 or Mi TV A2 MediaTek chip with neural network for image processing is involved, and in Xiaomi 13 Ultra smartphones โ€“ algorithms MIUI to optimize productivity.

The main difference from the usual smart settings is the ability to learn, the longer you use a device, the more accurate the recommendations become, for example, if you always watch action movies with high brightness, the TV will automatically turn on Dynamic mode when you launch such content.

AI-Xiaomi TV mode: how to turn on and what gives

On Xiaomi TVs (Mi series) TV Q, Mi TV A, Mi TV P1 newer) AI-The regime is responsible for three key functions:

  1. AI Picture Quality โ€“ picture improvement (contrast, sharpness, color balance).
  2. AI Sound โ€“ adapting sound to the genre of content (film, sports, music).
  3. AI Scene Recognition โ€“ automatic scene recognition (day/night shooting, faces, etc.).

To turn on AI-Mode on TV, go to: Settings โ†’ Image: โ†’ Image mode โ†’ AI or settings โ†’ Sound. โ†’ AI Sound.

Some models (such as the Mi TV Q2 75) have a separate AI Master switch that activates all functions at once.

AI-Xiaomi smartphone mode: performance and battery optimization

In smartphones Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO AI-The regime is hidden under different names:

  • ๐Ÿ”‹ AI Battery โ€“ analyzes usage habits and limits background processes to save charge.
  • ๐ŸŽฎ AI Performance โ€“ allocates processor resources in games (e.g., Genshin Impact or GI) PUBG Mobile).
  • ๐Ÿ“ธ AI Camera - improves photos by recognizing scenes (portrait, night mode, HDR).

To turn on AI-Battery optimization, go to: Settings โ†’ Battery and productivity โ†’ Battery mode โ†’ AI-economy.

For AI-playfulness:
