After several leaks, Xiaomi has confirmed the twelfth version of the custom layer used in its terminals. The Chinese firm has made it official, advancing with it the next news of MIUI 12, a software right now at a fairly young age before maturation and final release.
The first phones to enjoy this version will be the devices from China, then over time they will launch it in other continents in an escalating way. One of the main novelties at first glance of MIUI 12 is that it is much more attractive and add an extra animation.
Better aesthetics and new animations
The layer has been improving with each version number, in version 12 it was not going to be less, especially improving in view of any user. The aesthetics were refined to achieve a fairly clear desktop, a renewed animation and new realistic backgrounds to be chosen by the user.
The animations go through the unlocking of the Xiaomi terminal, the effects of applications such as weather included by default in MIUI. The developers have not hesitated to improve the animations, giving it greater freshness and above all being quite light to use, from this the screens with a high refresh rate will benefit.
MIUI 12 It also indicates on the support page that it has updated the times between apps in the foreground and the return to the desktop, with any open application going to the background. The graphics system now offers a much faster fluidity and everything happens by having a fairly light environment.
Security and privacy go hand in hand
Users have always asked through official forums for an improvement in privacy, which is why Xiaomi has wanted to emphasize this point. MIUI 12 now has a permission control of everything that each application requests, whether it is in the foreground or in the background, there will be a complete history.
MIUI 12 will integrate the Mask ModeAlso known as Mask Mode. It is the incognito mode with which we can use our smartphone without any of the applications requesting information from us. Once the aforementioned history is activated, you will not be able to detect any of our information, it is an option with which to work calmly and without fear.
The new Xiaomi layer will also have the permissions of each application and choose if you want to make one use or several depending on whether it is an app that you usually use on a regular basis. The permission of the camera, microphone, recording or contacts cannot be used in the background by any of the applications.
New dynamic backgrounds
It is certainly one of the aspects in which we are constantly working to be able to give users of Xiaomi terminals a variant over the rest. In the first images you can see space backgrounds, with dynamic wallpapers of the Earth and Mars, other different ones are the glaciers that are just as dynamic.
MIUI 12 has more effects and transparencies, new animations when uninstalling an application by uploading it to the upper right and other varied depending on what you do with the phone. MALM, FOLME and MiRender will continue to be the illustration, animation and rendering engines, now they have a much more stylized design.
New health options
