Xiaomi shared new features on MIUI 11: New Interface, Icon, Dark Theme, and More

Xiaomi has shared the first information related to the MIUI 11 version they are developing. If MIUI 10 focuses on improving the camera as well as optimizing the use of the full screen, on this 11th edition, Xiaomi focuses on remaking the interface system, which directly affects the user experience. In other words, if you see the new interface, system icons and more on MIUI 11.

MIUI 11: What you should expect?

Refreshed icons and smoother animations:

Firstly, Xiaomi is now looking to upgrade the system and app icons which have only been tweaked slightly but not changed since MIUI 6. This could change with MIUI 11 and the new interface might also offer users the ability to change icon shapes to suit their needs. With MIUI 11, the icons are expected to get flatter and more minimal compared to their current version. Additionally, Xiaomi is working towards achieving system-wide consistency of the visual elements and smoother animations.

Monochrome ultra power saving mode:

Another great feature that will be added to MIUI 11 is the ultra power saving mode. With this mode, all apps and features except texts and calls will be turned off and the color of the screen will be turned into black and white in order to conserve battery. Users will also have the ability to selectively allow apps in the ultra power saving mode.

Status bar optimizations:

MIUI 11 will bring improvement in terms of how MIUI manages icons in the status bar, especially on smartphones with notches. The icons will be well-spaced and optimized so that all crucial icons such as headphones, mute, battery and signal strength indicators can be accommodated on a single side of the status bar. Further, the clock might be shifted to right too i.e. in line with other Android devices. Lastly, Xiaomi might also add an option to darken the status bar to hide the notch.

Automatic screenshot management:

The updated version of MIUI will support automatic deletion of screenshots after they are shared. Users might also get new options to edit screenshots. At the same time, MIUI 11 might also bring an improved way of interacting with notifications as well as the ability to club notifications from the same app in the form of cards. Moreover, users will also be able to manage persistent notifications and we expect a snooze function similar to stock Android.

System-wide dark theme:

Xiaomi also seems to be in favor of a system-wide dark theme on MIUI 11 and while the feature is already being pushed to MIUI 10 beta on Mi 8 and Redmi Note 5 Pro, MIUI 11 could extend support for the browser and third-party apps. A native system-wide dark theme can also be seen on Android Q but Xiaomi users will have the privilege of using the feature even on MIUI 11 based on Android 9 Pie.
