welcome everyone I'm Ricky from Tech Talk and today we're going through the
accessibility options and settings that we're gonna find on the Xiaomi Mi mix 3
by G version to make sure this device can be used for you no matter your
ability on what options you need to change and adjust so let's hope it has
everything you may need so it's a live display as well first of all which I
want to point out is 6.3 9 inch display and always like to have a large display
it is 5 G but that's not really going to be much of the option today we don't
need to talk about that so first of all is the volume key shortcut so this works
during the setup phase and it should work now so if I press close together
now we're on our home screen here and talkback will talk back everything to
you no matter where you want to touch or highlight so you can start with your
applications and then it will give you options once you've paused on one my
phone double tap to activate double tap and hold to long press so it gives you
an option there also when to navigate use two fingers swipe across then again
start messaging Instagram it will narrate everything to you they even
waxing the task bar up here at the top 11:37 battery 92% 92 for G phone signal
phone so will tell you everything really great feature really pleased it's on
this device it should work really well thanks to the partnership of the
Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 processor six gigabytes of RAM as well so shouldn't
have any issues to help you whatsoever really pleased to see that on here I'm
really pleased to see that was in the setup process as well only that was the
only option was the volume key shortcut there was no dedicated accessibility
option but really pleased this on here and it works
pressing the hold in will turn talkback off and as you saw it put watermark on
here that you can turn off and we'll have a look at now to find the rest of
your settings what you need to do jump into the settings application here as
you'll notice I've got dark theme on mine a little bit easier to read and
just a little bit easier to see and you can change this and I'll show you where
that is there inside settings you to go to additional settings and then
come down to the bottom near enough and then a fall from bottom 1 2 3 4 you've
got accessibility so then finally you're in your accessibility so the one little
letdown here is it's quite buried in the actual menu systems obviously brought it
forward maybe just once there or mainly just on the main settings page as we see
from the likes of Samsung iPhone and other Android users it just seems to be
a little bit buried here with the me UI 10 again something that they can change
and highlight in the new me UI updates so once you're in your accessibility
options you have different things to go through first of all at the top is your
volume key shortcuts so inside here you've got different options that you
can choose and change so you can select any one of these options to actually be
used instead of talkback I think that's a really good thing to have there again
you can turn that on or off depending on your choice when it's first launched the
talkback series will give you a tutorial to go through everything you need to
know about underneath that is an accessibility menu so inside here this
will give you a menu to toggle on things without coming into the settings
application really good thing to have so toggle on here
so once toggled on you should get an accessibility person down here or you
should get an option down here sadly with the me UI 10 and the gemiini mix 3
5g and other me devices I previously tested it seems like there's been a
software issue where this hasn't been implemented this is the same on other
people's devices and even with updated software still issues here don't know
what's going on I'm really looking into this really trying to find out why this
option isn't available to us as you've seen previously you do normally get
another icon down here with our three competitive touch buttons beside lis
there's nothing there but that would give you a menu then to use to highlight
different accessibility options underneath that is talkback so you can
go inside here look through talkback you do have some settings again you can
change the adjust here depending on when you want it if you want it to read
everything so quite a lot of detailed settings here that we haven't seen too
much on previous devices so this is a really good thing it's just a shame some
of the other features are potentially not working another option is select
speaks they select to speak is slightly different this is when you toggle on
press ok again you get an accessibility man here you press this then you tap
here and then it would just read the text to you you wouldn't read everything
so it selects the certain things that you want it to actually dictate to you
or narrates back to you again a great option you do have some settings again
inside here you can turn on so if I turn even both these on come back again that
option should be there but it's not there really frustrating to see here so
underneath that you have text-to-speech outputs this is where you can change
your language your speech rate and then your pitch so I can make it really fast
so really fast there some people understand that or you can slow it right
down and then you can change this as well so it really changes and adjusts
you compress to reset here you'll go back to its default options
nice to have on there just shame them options and not they're available
currently at the moment coming up underneath that you then have display
size so you have some presets here at the top and then you can change you can
make it larger or even bigger and then you can come down the other way as well
if you want to if you want to make it smaller you don't have to have it the
way you want it you can make it the way you want it to be for yourself so coming
back as you'll notice a little bit bigger here and then I can read through
a bit more some magnification so you have
magnification by tap so one two three three quick taps will zoom in large
display here and AMOLED panel so it look really rich and the text will look
really nice and easy to read one two three to come back also there is the
other option as you know one two three hold on the third one maneuver with one
finger around your display then when you release that that will zoom back out for
you again good option to see on here also there's magnify with button so
toggle this on again you'd get an accessibility option down here and then
you tap where you want to zoom but obviously that's not usable because it's
not working frustrating yet again underneath that
you have color correction so you can change and adjust the color correction
depending if you need to and again it gives you a couple of options here three
different options here to change and adjust if the color
correction is a potential ability change in problem for yourself underneath that
is color inversion so if I toggle this on it's going to turn it slightly
different so this is different from light theme to dark theme so if I go
home here you see the told colors are washed out and completely different the
completely inverted - Pratap the menu button here go back home toggle is off
so this is what it looks like then in dark theme go home again you can see the
difference is there between the two options but that is there to help
someone if they potentially need that then you have a large mouse cursor so
you can use a mouse cursor for this device and that's where you use your
switches and your interaction devices and you can use a cursor to manipulate
your way around your device you then have remove animation so if you
don't want the animations you don't want all the fancy bits that's fine that can
be removed for you and that's not an issue then underneath that is one very
important setting I do like to see here and that is switch access this gives you
the ability to use switches and different interaction devices with your
phone so you want to toggled on here you'll be asked to go into settings and
then you can link up the different interaction devices that you may have so
if I could come back out here turn this off but that's an easy way and like I
said in a previous video I want to actually get some of these devices and
see how well they interact with the phones and make sure the phones are
actually doing the functions it says it can do obviously you have a lot of
different settings inside here that you can change and adjust depending on which
switches which interaction devices you are going to use with your smartphone
here again really impressed to see that option on a quite a new setting that
we've seen in the last 18 months 24 months so I'm really pleased to see that
you then have 12 timings as well timing is for when you're using a mouse cursor
and when you actually stop moving it's to the point of when it will make a
click or an action come true again a nice option to see on here again
quite a new option that we've seen in the past 12 months your power button can
end cool so your power button is on the side here the right hand side just
underneath the volume controls underneath actually have auto rotate
screen so it depending what way or orientation you have your display this
will change for you it quite easy to enjoy content sit back
and enjoy touch and hold delay so you can change this here if you want to
again this is for dexterity and interaction abilities you can change and
adjust that there depending what options that you need underneath that you have
vibration so you have ring and notification of vibration depending if
you want it for when the phone rings or when you receive a notification then you
have touch vibration as well so when you actually touch and highlight something
on your display you'll get like a feedback option underneath that you have
the ability to use mono audio if you want to use mono audio then you have
captions so I like captions here once toggled on you have different options
here to change your language your text size like I said you can change in just
that also color preference as well really nice to see different options on
here captions would be used if someone has a hearing ability then at the bottom
you've got high contrast text so if you look at the titles here you'll notice a
difference everything it comes a little bit more bolder a little bit more easier
to read so depending on what options you want to use there you have a nice range
of options there are some more settings hidden in a different section as always
not every company has got rights they do like to put them in different areas so
if we now move into display which is up here in the main settings option you got
your brightness level first of all you can change and adjust your brightness
level here inside here you've also got night modes brightness and then also
night mode color temperature that you can change and adjust there you then
also have reading modes of reading mode if I toggle this on here will sort of
make it yellow a little bit easier to read and it won't be so bright and
vibrant blue in your face when you're reading at nighttime you can schedule
that on or off and you can adjust down here at the bottom depending and as you
can see that harsh sort of blue light is actually dimmed there if you can see it
again a very good option to have here really pleased to see it on this device
underneath that is contrast in color so this is where you can change your
display and change it depending on what options that you want and how you want
your display to work for you it's a good option to have here and I'm really
impressed to see that you can actually change it so much and actually make it
what you it to be underneath that is ambient
display so we can toggle this on so an always-on display and we've got our
clock here you can add different things depending what you want so you can have
this different colors which is really nice it all depends what you want it to
have then obviously it will give you notifications as well really pleased to
see that on there because we receive so many different notifications it's good
to just have a quick glance of my phone before potentially then picking up and
seeing if there's anything interesting so then it comes into dark mode here so
if I toggle this off here it then goes to a very standard white background with
black text I prefer dark mode it's just so much easier to actually use here with
a white text on a black background just makes it so much easier for me to use so
one option that's a little bit hidden here is text size so you can change and
adjust your text size which makes it easier for you to read depending on your
ability again so coming back home that's all the settings that you're going to
find there to start off with let's talk about the elephant in the room showing
it's still not working the option is still not there and I really don't know
how to fix it I have spent hours researching and looking into chamois and
the me UI 10 some features work for some people I've talked to two other people
that have the me mix 3 5g version and there's don't work either
so they've got it on potentially different options different settings and
they've tried it for me and it's still not working so this is a real
highlighting issue if you are looking at this device but you do have a bility
that you need to change and adjust the settings for you to use this device
easier please please make sure that you spend your time to look into this device
making sure you're going to be ok with it because I have yet again have issues
with this device I had it with me a pro and like I said other people are still
having issues I believe it is software related always believe it's software
related and easily fixed I just don't know the right people to talk to so if
you do can you please share this with them highlight it share it on Twitter I
really do appreciate it because there is a potential issue here that is going
wrong with the software it needs to be updated so all these
great settings can be used for anyone to use their device no matter their ability
on the other hand there are a great amount of settings on here there are so
many different settings and so many different sub settings inside an option
that you can go through changing and just to make it easier for you to use no
matter your ability if you need them key highlighting ones then potentially you
might need to wait for a software updates really impressed looking forward
to using the phone and I'll come back during my review and highlight if I have
fixed it at all and actually talked about the accessibility features I've
used during my testing time in the meantime if you have any questions or
