Xiaomi 12 series will launch next week alongside MIUI 13

We’ve already heard a lot about the Xiaomi 12 series, with leaks revealing the 12 Ultra’s large camera module and renders giving us an idea of how the normal 12 will look. Xiaomi is now preparing to make these phones public, as the firm announced on Weibo (via XDA Developers) that its new flagship series will be available in China on December 28.

Initially, the series will consist of at least two phones, the Xiaomi 12 and the Xiaomi 12 Ultra, but if previous lineups are any indication, a few additional models, such as a more cheap Xiaomi 12X, may be released in the near future. The series will premiere alongside MIUI 13, Xiaomi’s latest generation of its own skin on top of Android, according to the company’s CEO Lei June.

Aside from that, we haven’t heard much about the new flagship series from the company. Only Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip will power the flagships, and the graphic hints that one of the phones, most likely the 12 Ultra, would be substantially larger than the other.

A few more significant details have surfaced as a result of rumors and leaks. The Xiaomi 12 is said to have a 50MP camera, an OLED display with a high refresh rate, and 100W fast charging. The enormous camera array on the 12 Ultra reminds us of a washing machine, and it’ll reportedly have technology comparable to its smaller sister, including a QHD+ high-refresh rate screen, 120W fast charging, and a 5,000mAh battery.

MIUI 13 – stable system with multiple changes

Xiaomi is actively developing MIUI 13, its upcoming Android skin. Remember that the MIUI 12 system was notoriously buggy, and the business had to cope with a slew of issues. In fact, Xiaomi will have to release an improved version of MIUI 12.5 to address the majority of the flaws. As it optimizes the MIUI 13 system, the Chinese maker keeps this in mind. Despite its flaws, MIUI is still one of the greatest Android skins created by Chinese manufacturers. MIUI is making every effort to improve and will undoubtedly perform better,” Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun said.

Furthermore, Lu Weibing, general manager of the Redmi brand, credits MIUI’s work with the Redmi Note 11 Pro’s exceptional battery performance. The Redmi Note 11 Pro battery, he claims, gets people more excited about the MIUI system. These remarks from Xiaomi executives have sparked suspicion that the MIUI 13 operating system may include a slew of new features. Of course, it’s reasonable to expect a significant number of changes in MIUI 13. This is due to the fact that its predecessor did not do much, so it will have a lot to deal with.

Furthermore, popular Weibo leakster, @DCS claims that the MIUI 13 comes with tons of changes. He further claims that many of the system interfaces have new UX. This Android skin will be based on Android 11 as well as Android 12.

MIUI 13 – launch at the end of the year

Not long ago, the Xiaomi MIUI team set up a pioneer team to fix various bugs and complaints coming from users. According to many user feedbacks, with the efforts of the MIUI pioneer team for several weeks, the current lagging and issues of many models have significantly reduced. The fluency and stability of the system are now gradually increasing.

MIUI 13 update – features, device list, release date and everything else we know so far
If you own a Xiaomi phone, you likely use MIUI – it’s the company’s Android overlay that changes the software’s appearance and adds a few new features. MIUI 13 is the next version, and rumors abound that it’s coming pretty soon.

Currently, the company’s newest phones like the Xiaomi Mi 11 and Mi 11 Ultra use MIUI 12; launched in May 2020, its new features included an app drawer, improved dark mode and an Ultra Battery Saver Mode, amongst other things, so it was a fairly big improvement.

Even though MIUI 12.5 is still being pushed to Xiaomi smartphones, the MIUI 13 features, release date, download, and qualifying devices list have begun to circulate the internet. The upcoming custom Android skin, which will replace last year’s MIUI 12.5, is currently in the works. The Xiaomi MIUI 13 update is scheduled to be released in the second quarter, as have previous versions, and will be compatible with phones manufactured in 2019 or later. In terms of MIUI 13 functionality, it is expected to include optimized animations, new themes, wallpapers, and a slew of security enhancements, among other items.

MIUI 12, to recall, was originally announced in May but was only made available in the country in August.

MIUI 13 update and download

The MIUI 13 update will be released in stages, as is customary. The brand will initially distribute the beta version of the update to a small number of consumers, followed by the stable version for all compatible devices. The timetable for the MIUI 13 update release is currently unknown.

Features

Features list is too short at the moment to tell whether the update be a major upgrade or just an iterative of last year’s custom skin. Among the few that are rumoured so far include optimised animations to improve the overall experience of the new custom Android skin from Xiaomi. The update is also expected to come with design changes, enhanced touch sensitivity, advanced privacy options, native screen recording support, improved battery performance, new gestures, and enhanced notifications panel, among other things.

Update is coming – MIUI 12.1 with refreshed interface
Xiaomi, one of the smartphone market’s most significant manufacturers, regularly upgrades its MIUI firmware and introduces new features. It introduced many technologies and significant characteristics to Xiaomi and Redmi phones with MIUI 12 and continues to add new ones. New features are not open to everyone. These features, provided to some users on the Chinese forum of MIUI, will be open to all in the future.

Power Menu

Although some sites also write this as the MIUI 13 feature, this will be an MIUI 12 update. It is too early to leak about MIUI 13. A style that makes it easy to use with one hand is preferred. You can use the options by swiping up or down.

Disable Ads in MIUI 12 with a single toggle
MIUI advertisements are commonplace. They are pervasive, invasive, and the user experience is labelled. For this exact cause, some folks walk away from Xiaomi phones. Still, since it is the key source of Xiaomi ‘s income, MIUI is married to advertising.

Lei Jun, the company’s CEO, announced last year that MIUI would clamp down on advertising , especially lewd ones. Well, we finally have a function for getting rid of the ads in the new MIUI 12. Today , the new version is being released internationally. In a swarm of functionality, the one that many of us are excited about is the latest ad treatment.

Now, you just have to follow these three simple steps to get the same thing done:
1. Open the Settings page and click on the account option, followed by Privacy Policy.
2. Within Privacy Policy, you’ll see an option called “System Ads”.

3. Toggle off that option to disable the ads.

Disable Ads

You had to opt-out of the User Interface Program in earlier MIUI models, reject automated diagnostic data transfer, and turn off recommended / personalized content settings on all Mi apps. The measures are now truncated to just three.

MIUI devices that will receive Android 11
List of devices that will receive Android 11

This list updated on 5 September 2020.

What to expect with MIUI on Android 11

New features
- Native screen recording: Google has been toying around with adding a built-in screen recorder to Android, and Android 11 pretty much confirms the feature will launch this year. You could use the screen recorder in the first Android 11 preview but it is much more refined in DP2. In the second beta, capturing device audio is now supported, all but assuring us that the stable release will include this long-awaited feature.
- Muting notifications during video: Don’t you hate when you’re filming your dog or your kid and you get a notification? That’s super annoying. Android 11 will let you mute notifications while you’re recording video.
- Increase touch sensitivity: Those who use screen protectors will love this feature. Google added an “increase touch sensitivity” option to the settings menu that lets you, well, increase the sensitivity of your touchscreen. If you use a screen protector, this should result in fewer missed taps and scrolls.
- Notification History: Android doesn’t make it easy for you to see previously dismissed notifications, with Android 10’s Notification Log basically hidden for users. Android 11 DP1 hinted at a Notification History option and DP2 basically confirmed it. The new feature looks like it will be pretty useful.
- Auto revoke app permissions: Android 11 DP3 has introduced a new option to automatically revoke permissions such as camera, location, and more, from apps that haven’t been used for a while. This new setting can be turned on if you think you’re not going to be actively using an app after a few months. You can read more about it here.
- Easter egg: What would a new version of Android be without the traditional Easter egg? The third beta finally brought us the latest secret addition to the operating system. You can see it in full action here.
- Exposure Notification API: Google and Apple worked together in a rare form of solidarity to create the Exposure Notification API. This system allows official health organizations to make contact tracing applications to help stem the spread of COVID-19. In Android 11, the Exposure Notification API is incorporated and turned on automatically.
Updated or revamped features
- Revamped power menu: Android 11 will have a wildly revamped power menu that gives you quick access to smart home controls, your Google Wallet cards, and (obviously) power options.
  - Update: This new feature was slightly refined in the latest Android 11 beta 2. Check out the subtle differences here.
- Screenshot markup interface tweaks: If you take a screenshot on your Android phone, there’s a native way for you to mark it up with notes or scribbles. However, there’s no way to delete the screenshot from that interface. That will change in Android 11.
- Revamped overview menu, screenshot shortcuts: In Android 11 Developer Preview 3, Google revamped the overview menu (recent apps screen) to show larger cards as well as two new screenshot shortcuts. However, it also removed the ability to access the app drawer from the overview menu.
- New text selection mode in overview menu: In the fourth Android 11 Developer Preview, Google added a “Select” button to the overview menu. Tapping it allows you to quickly select text inside an app and paste it into another app.
- Undoing recently cleared apps: Speaking of the revamped overview menu, you can now also undo an accidentally cleared app by quickly swiping down on the screen.
  - Update: With the fourth Android 11 Developer Preview, Google removed the ability to undo recently cleared apps in the multitasking menu.
- Media players now head to quick settings: If you’re listening to music on your phone, you’re used to finding a media player in your notification shade. In Android 11, the player will move to the quick settings area and get a few more tools, including the ability to easily pick an output device. If you are playing two forms of media at once (music and a podcast, for example), you’ll be able to swipe the notification to swap between the different players.
- Ability to dismiss persistent app notifications: If you’ve ever used Android, you’ve probably run into a persistent notification (one that you can’t easily swipe away). In Android 11 Developer Preview 3, Google lets you clear all notifications. Don’t worry — you can quickly bring persistent notifications back if you swiped them away by accident.
  - Update: This feature was removed in Android 11 Developer Preview 4.
- More granular back gesture tweaking: The back gesture can be a little frustrating at times, as you perform a similar gesture to activate hamburger menus. Fortunately, Android 11 has two sliders to let you control the sensitivity of the back gesture — one for the left side of the screen and one for the right. This is a welcome change from the single sensitivity slider in Android 10.
- Airplane mode doesn’t kill Bluetooth: Previously, turning on airplane mode would also kill Bluetooth on your phone, which doesn’t make much sense. People who use airplane mode might have Bluetooth headphones connected, resulting in having to turn on Bluetooth again. In Android 11, Bluetooth stays on when airplane mode is activated.
- Pixel Themes gets clock tweaks: In the Pixel theming section of Settings, you will likely be able to customize how your clock looks on the AOD and lock screen. However, in the first beta, there is only one clock option available.
  - Update: This feature was removed in the second beta release.
- New Motion Sense option for Pixel 4: We’ve been complaining for a few months that Google seems to be neglecting Motion Sense on the Pixel 4. In Android 11, the company is adding a new way to control your phone without touching it. In Android 11, you can tap the air above the phone to pause your music.
- Pixel 4 Face Unlock will require you to open your eyes: Speaking of the Pixel 4, it looks like Android 11 will offer users the ability to require their eyes be open for Face Unlock to work. This might make unlocks less efficient, but it will certainly make your phone more secure.
- App pinning in the share menu: Android used to let you pin your most frequently used apps to the share sheet, but that option was removed in Android 10. Now it’s back and there will even be a little pin icon next to the apps you’ve pinned so you know what’s up.
- Enhanced notification shade conversations: When you get a text, you can see the most recent message in your notification shade under a new Conversations tab. Not only will you be able to see more of the thread but you’ll also have richer ways to compose messages, including a way to send picture messages right from the notification. Notifications will also look a lot more organized thanks to a revamp of how they look.
- Upgraded Voice Access capabilities: Previously, Android’s Voice Access labeled all the actions on the screen with a number, allowing you to call out the number to perform said action. Now, Android 11 can read what’s on your screen and let you say the action instead, being a rather cool accessibility upgrade. An example shown by The Verge‘s Dieter Bohn includes saying “Instagram” to launch the app rather than saying the corresponding number.

Mi Control Center – iOS design quick settings panel app
Android may be more practical than iOS when it comes to updates for most users, but you have to admit that Apple’s panel and control center has a degree of polished elegance. Some users can also prefer the translucent interface and separate alerts, as well as fast pages change. If you’re one of those men, or just interested in trying out iOS on your Android device, Treydev’s new app might be worth a look at.

Mi Control Center: Notifications and Quick Actions is an app that allows an iOS / MIUI-style makeover for your notification and fast settings pages, including some cool animations that make it more fun to swipe down and access all of this.

The app defaults to separating the notification shade and quick settings into two panels that can be pulled up by swiping on different halves of the screen. If you’re not into that, the software can be set to show quick toggles on top of the notification shade just like stock Android. There’s plenty of customizations to play with, like setting an image as the background of the panels or changing the shape of the quick settings toggles.

Android and iOS in terms of usability and design have never been similar and this app helps make the difference even narrower. If you’re envious of iOS 14 and you want to get a tiny taste of what flipping will be like, give Mi Control Center definitely one try. Downloading from Google Play or APK Mirror is free, although some of the advanced customization options require a buy in-app.
