If you have a Xiaomi mobile you are surely waiting to receive MIUI 12, the company's new customization layer. This new version of the interface was announced in China a few weeks ago. However, it was not until today that Xiaomi has revealed the features that will reach the devices globally. Among them: a new camera design, new wallpapers, animations and more. In this article I show you the 7 most interesting news that will reach your Xiaomi mobile, and that you have to know yes or yes.
Renewed camera app
MIUI 12 arrives with a renewed camera application. It adapts to the new interface, with settings and icons with a more minimalist design. In addition, it includes new modes for photographs, such as Kaleidoscope mode. There is also a function that until now was only available on iPhone: being able to record in the style of Instagram. That is, just by holding the shutter button. New themes are also added to customize the interface to our liking.
New settings
Settings now get a new design: more intuitive controls and a much cleaner look, with animations and shortcuts. Another interesting detail is that the information has a renewed design with new color tones, as we can see in the image. Among these new settings is also the possibility of activating an application drawer in the interface.
New dark mode
MIUI 11 introduced dark mode, but this new version also allows night mode to be applied even to third-party apps or websites that do not have their interface adapted to these tones. In addition, the tones improve in contrast and a better adaptation is achieved with the text and other elements of the interface, such as images or icons.
New animations
Another feature that you are interested in knowing, and that you will notice when your Xiaomi mobile updates to EMUI 12: the new animations. Now they change and have a more natural and fluid movement. According to Xiaomi, several layers of animation have been created to make the movement more realistic for the user.
Floating windows
Now we can use an app with a floating window. This means that the application will not occupy all the space on the screen, but will be located in a secondary way in the panel and we will be able to see relevant information without having to open it completely. For example: we can watch a conversation while watching a YouTube video.
More security options
It is also important to know the new privacy and security options. To begin with, now the interface will notify you if an app is using any of the components of your mobile. For example, the camera, the microphone or the location. We can also choose what data we want to share in an image. In some cases, when we share a photo we can even see where it was taken, regardless of the device we use.
MIUI 12 will also be able to 'hide' or change some private data when identifying ourselves with our account. We can also adjust this option ourselves, saying what credentials we want to modify so that the application or service does not see them.
Sleep monitoring from mobile
MIUI 12 also adds an app to monitor sleep from the mobile without the need to carry the Mi Band or another smart watch. It will also do the same with the steps. Of course, we do not know how you can monitor sleep from your mobile if we usually leave it charging to sleep.
