MIUI 11 has not yet reached the phones of the Chinese brand and Xiaomi has just confirmed MIUI 12, the latest version of the customization layer that is supposed to arrive in the middle of this year, following the usual scheme of the company.

Do you want to know the possible news of MIUI 12? Let's take a look at what this coming year holds.

Complete visual redesign: new icons, animations and general aesthetics
We are not going to deny it: MIUI 11 has turned out to be a minor version compared to MIUI 10 compared to MIUI 9. Most of the changes focus on adding functions and polishing the performance of the general system… The good news is that everything points to Xiaomi it will completely redesign the aesthetic appearance of your cape.
The change in the typography of the new logo and the white and blue colors makes us think that the company could redesign part of the MIUI interface, giving rise to new fonts, somewhat flatter colors and a much more minimalist design line adapted to large inch screens. Something very similar to what Samsung has released with One UI 2.0.
Optimization and improvement of general performance in games and apps
While MIUI 11 has polished some aspects of the performance of Xiaomi phones, the general performance on low-end phones like the Redmi 6 or Redmi 7 leaves a lot to be desired. A possible novelty of MIUI 12 could come from the hand of the optimization in the core of the system to lighten the layer in mobile phones with moderate specifications.
This improvement could also carry over to games with the arrival of Game Turbo 3.0. The current version helps maintain game FPS by limiting background processes. An update to this feature could help API support more titles and increase GPU voltages and frequency.
Out of trouble with system notifications
MIUI 10 was quite a headache for notched mobiles by not displaying the notification icons. Although MIUI 11 has partially alleviated this problem, applications such as WhatsApp continue to have problems.
The solution to this problem could come from the hand of a simplified notification system and much more similar to what Android 10 offers. Lower permissions and automated management are some of the possible improvements that could come with the twelfth version.
Desktop mode to connect the phone to an external monitor
Samsung and Huawei are the only brands that have opted today for a Desktop Mode that allows us to connect the phone to an external monitor and perform the functions of a PC. The arrival of MIUI 12 could mean the presentation of a PC Mode that would allow us to connect the phone through a USB C cable to a screen and transform the interface to something very similar to what Windows 10 offers us.
Unfortunately, this feature will be limited to high-end USB 3.1 certified models due to hardware limitations.
CameraX support to improve photo quality
CameraX is the latest photography API launched by Google to homogenize Android camera libraries with third-party applications.
Today, applications such as WhatsApp or Instagram are limited to using a very basic resource to capture photos. This is the reason why the quality of the images is quite inferior to that of iOS. MIUI 12 could change this by making the system compatible with the aforementioned Google API to take advantage of the real quality of the cameras.
Improved Artificial Intelligence to adapt the mobile to our use
Artificial Intelligence is the great promise of manufacturers for this 2020. One of the main novelties of MIUI 12 could come with the integration of intelligent functions. Functions such as the adaptation of the desks based on the time of day, the activation of connections depending on our location or the increase in the frequency of the processor in those applications that we use the most on a daily basis.
Other improvements such as personalized keyboard suggestions or intelligent multitasking management could be coupled with these developments.
Focused on privacy to improve system security
Donald Trump's veto of Huawei has set off all the alarms at manufacturers from China. For this reason, Xiaomi could put privacy as the starting point of MIUI 12. In addition to notifying us what resources are being used, the new update of the Asian firm could notify us of the destination of our data when we access a web page or make use of an app.
A system very similar to that of Apple could also be integrated that would allow us to register in any service, application or web without sharing our data with third parties, but through the Xiaomi Mi account.
Android 11 native enhancements
Android 11 news could not be missed. Although there are still three months left for Google to announce the first version of the system, rumors and leaks by the company have already revealed some of the news that will come with it.
Jetpack Compose to improve the graphical quality of the applications, new privacy measures, faster security updates and a long etcetera.
