Top Six Features of MIUI 12

MIUI 12 will start rolling out from June — the most recent version of Xiaomi's Android interface was officially unveiled on Tuesday, May 19 for global markets. It brings new features and enhancements to Xiaomi's Mi and Redmi phones. Xiaomi said in its blog post that privacy protection is at the core of the event of MIUI and MIUI 12 rest on top of that. MIUI 12 brings floating windows for better multitasking allowing users to possess an uninterrupted experience. Users get a replacement UI design with “innovative system animations” and more. So, here are the very best features present in MIUI 12:

1. Reinforced privacy protection

With MIUI 12, users are getting to be able to recover control over permissions that are required for apps to function, as per the Xiaomi blog post. Individual app permissions include a wider range of options like giving certain permissions “While using the app” and “Notify” when an app is using another service, in conjunction with the previously available options. The “While using the app” mode also includes permissions for access to a camera, microphone, call history, contacts, calendar, and storage. Additionally, location information and metadata can also be removed when sharing photos.

2. Design and animations

Xiaomi said that it's revamped the UI design for MIUI 12 and refreshed system-wide animations. It uses the Mi Render Engine to make switching between apps smoother and each screen has been made more “informative and comprehensible”. Xiaomi added, “Data is perceived more intuitively when it's presented in graphics. Visualizations save time and make the interaction with the mobile device more intuitive and efficient.” MIUI 12 also brings a flatter and a more simplified interface and new navigation gestures. Additionally, the Super Wallpaper feature provides “stunning reconstructions of iconic planetary landforms” using NASA's official imagery.

3. Multitasking

MIUI 12 improves on multi-tasking by adding floating windows. When navigating using the entire screen gestures, floating windows for apps will help users easily move them, close or resize them with gestures. If you get a message while on you're doing something else on your phone like watching a video, the message is often opened during a floating window allowing you to reply without having to pause the video and switch to the messaging app.

4. Ultra Battery Saver

MIUI 12 adds what Xiaomi is looking for an ultra-battery saver mode. because the name suggests, the ultra-battery saver mode will restrict the more power-consuming features without affecting calls, messages, and network connectivity. this might extend the phone's standby time and reduce power consumption, thereby supplying you with some extra battery life when the phone's battery is low.

5. App Drawer

MIUI usually follows the more iPhone-Esque home screen with the absence of an app drawer. Now with MIUI 12, users will get an option to activate the app drawer which may release their home screen and show all the installed apps in one place. The apps can also be grouped automatically, making them easier to hunt out. Xiaomi says this app drawer comes from the Poco Launcher present within the Poco smartphones.

6. Dark Mode

MIUI 12 brings an enhanced Dark Mode that changes the color palette for system backgrounds, system apps, and third-party apps to a darker theme. It also allows users to choose the contrast to match the ambient light. Xiaomi says Dark Mode reduces power consumption and minimizes eye strain.
