Xiaomi announced MIUI 12 at the end of April. Since then, the company has been releasing weekly beta builds in China. In addition to that, some devices have also begun to receive stable update worldwide. Having said that, the company is still adding new features to MUI 12 with every beta releases. The latest June 30 (20.6.30) build adds code for new “Paper” mode under Reading Mode settings.

MIUI is known to offer different display options for years. With MIUI 12, the company introduced Dark Mode 2.0 with dynamic contrast and brightness based upon the environment. It also brought animated AOD+ with better customization options.

Now, as per findings by kacskrz, an XDA senior member, the Chinese smartphone maker has included code for new “Paper” mode in the recent beta build rolled out yesterday.

Xiaomi is yet to enable this feature from their end. When they do, we can expect the display on the phone to mimic paper texture for a better reading experience. Anyway, looks like it won’t be available for all the MIUI 12 devices.

Apart from the above-mentioned code, the new build also brings three different modes along with temperature option under Reading Mode. Unlike the “Paper” mode, these features are currently live on supported devices running the latest beta release.

  • Full colors (All colors with a yellow tint)
  • Light colors (Faded colors)
  • Black & White

That said, we are not sure when these new additions will be rolled out to Xiaomi/Redmi/POCO devices eligible for MIUI 12 update.
