Xiaomi has released a new developer version of MIUI 11 to the company’s last year flagship Xiaomi Mi 9. The latest developer update for the device with build number 20.3.19 brings a number of new features including document scan, super power saver mode, and clipboard permissions.
Although Xiaomi is currently known for its smartphones, it is the company’s MIUI Android skin that helped to build its empire. MIUI is one of the few Android skins that comes in various editions. For instance, the builds are released in the developer, beta, and stable channels. They are further differentiated by the regions where the phones are sold. Whenever the company feels to introduce new features, it is initially tested in the developer builds.
Unsurprisingly, that is what Xiaomi has done with the latest MIUI 11 developer release v20.3.19 for the Mi 9. This new build has added a variety of new features including the much-needed document scanning ability in the camera app. Users can now easily scan any type of documents easily without any third-party app and also enhance them on the go with in-built tools. Another interesting feature is the addition of clipboard permissions that prevent other apps from accessing them. This update also brings a new super power-saving mode along with fixes for several issues.
In case you are interested in knowing more, then have a look at the official changelog provided by the company. Do note that this is a rough English translation of the Chinese changelog.
