Creating a presentation on a smartphone Xiaomi is a task that seems difficult only at first glance. Modern Android devices (including models Redmi, POCO and flagship series Xiaomi 14) allow you to fully work with slides without a computer. The main thing is to know what tools to use and how to adapt content to a small screen.
In this article you will find step-by-step guide for three popular methods: through Microsoft PowerPoint, Google Slides and built-in application WPS Office (pre-installed on many devices Xiaomi). We will look at not only the technical side, but also unique features of MIUIthat simplify your work - for example, quick access to files via Explorer or optimization of slides for display on a big screen via Miracast.
If you urgently need to prepare a report, a report or a commercial proposal, do not run for a laptop. Yours is enough Xiaomi and 15 minutes of time. Let's start by choosing the appropriate application.
1. Selecting an application for presentation on Xiaomi: comparison of options
On devices Xiaomi running MIUI (or HyperOS in new models), several tools are available for creating slides. Their capabilities vary from basic editing to advanced animations. Here are the key selection criteria:
- ๐ฑ Google Slides โthe best option for team work. All changes are synchronized with the cloud, there are templates and support for offline mode. Disadvantage: limited design options compared to Google Slides - a full-fledged editor with animations, transitions and advanced design tools. Requires a subscription PowerPoint.
- ๐ผ Microsoft PowerPoint - a full-fledged editor with animations, transitions and advanced design tools. Requires subscription Microsoft 365 for some functions.
- ๐ WPS Office - application preinstalled on many Xiaomi applications. Lightweight, supports formats
.pptand.pptx, but the interface is overloaded with advertising in the free version. - ๐จ Canva - if you need creative slides with graphics. Suitable for social networks or informal presentations, but not for strict business documents.
For most tasks, we recommend Google Slides it's free, integrated with Google Drive and optimized for mobile devices. However, if you need complex animations or corporate templates, it is better to install Google Slides (for example, in China) on devices PowerPoint.
