Do you have a Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite and you don't know how to get the most out of it? This new Xiaomi mobile has great options in its software, as well as very useful settings that you probably don't know about. I have compiled the 9 best tricks for the Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite that you are interested in knowing.
Remove watermark from photos
Another feature that is applied by default on Xiaomi phones: the watermark in the photos. Again, it can be easily disabled. Go to the camera app, click on the icon with the three lines in the upper area and select the settings button. In the 'Watermark' option. Turn off the option that says' Device Watermark. Now when you take a photo, the watermark will no longer appear.
Remove keyboard vibration
All Xiaomi mobiles arrive with the vibration on the keyboard activated by default. It can be annoying when typing fast, as the typing speed doesn't always match the vibration speed. Fortunately, this option can be easily disabled.
Go to Settings> Additional Settings> Languages and input> Manage keyboards. You will see that there are two keyboards activated: Gboard and Google Voice Typing. The one that interests us is the first. Tap Settings> Preferences. Disable the option that says' Haptic feedback on keypress. From now on and it will not vibrate when pressing a key.
How to program the dark mode on the Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite
MIUI 11 allows applying a dark mode on the interface, but we can also program it. So we make the system apply the dark mode, for example, at 20:00 in the afternoon. Go to Settings> Display> Dark Mode. Activate the 'Schedule' option. Now, select a time for the dark mode to activate. For example, at 19:00 in the afternoon. Also an hour to deactivate this mode and that the interface returns to the usual tones.
So you can hide the notch
Does the drop-type notch bother you on the Mi 10 Lite ? In the settings we can deactivate it and add a software bezel. That is, the system will hide the notch with a thin frame in the upper area. The interesting thing is that we can choose if we want the icons to be displayed in that bar or to stay below so that it simulates that it is a frame of the device.
Go to Settings> Display> Notch and status bar. In the 'Notch' section, click where it says 'Hide notch'. Choose between the two options to hide the notch.
- Hide without moving the status bar: the icons will remain in the status bar even if it is black.
- Hide and move the status bar: the bar will move down so that the top bezel is completely black.
Change the shortcut to Settings in the notification bar to a search icon
If you swipe from the top and open the notification panel, you will see that in one corner there is a shortcut icon to the system settings. If you don't usually use this access, you can change it to a search icon. Perhaps including a shortcut to search will be more helpful to you.
To change the icon, go to Settings> Display> Notch & Status Bar> Shortcut to Notification Bar. Change 'Settings' to 'Search'. Now, a magnifying glass icon will appear in the upper area. Pressing will open the browser and we can search for something on Google.
How to activate gesture navigation on the Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite
The activation is in a somewhat strange location. We have to go to Settings> Additional settings> Play full screen. In 0 Navigation system 'we can change the buttons for the gestures on the screen.
Respond quickly from the notification bar
Activate quick responses to notifications with this simple trick. So you can reply to a WhatsApp message from the notification bar, without having to enter the app. Go to Settings> Special Features> Quick Responses. Activate the option. Then select in which apps you want to enable quick responses. Be careful, this function is not available in all apps, but it is in most messaging.
Activate shortcuts through physical buttons
Either to open the camera with two taps on the power button, turn on the flashlight by pressing a combination of buttons, or summon the Assistant by holding the back button. In the Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite we can activate different shortcuts through the physical buttons.
Go to Settings> Additional settings> Button shortcuts. You will see that different commands appear. You just have to select an option and choose how you want to run it. For example, open the camera by pressing the power button twice. Or open the multi-window by holding down the start button.
Customize the Always-on screen
As the Mi 10 Lite has an AMOLED panel and the black ones are off pixels, I recommend activating the Always-on screen. So you can see the time or notifications. Xiaomi allows you to fully customize this Always On screen. We can include our own text, such as our name or a message. To customize the Always-on screen, enter the system settings. Next, tap on 'Always on screen and Lock screen'. Enter the first option and choose 'Signatures'. There you can customize the screen and write the text you want, change the color, etc.
