Xiaomi is known for fixing issues and introducing new features via MIUI weekly beta builds. The latest release dated 21.10.28 brings a useful feature called ‘Front camera assistant’. Let’s take a look at what it is all about.
According to a MIUI-focused Telegram channel called MIUIes, Xiaomi has added a feature called ‘Front camera assistant’ in its mobile operating system. The feature is currently live in the latest weekly beta build.
The new feature offers two options, namely ‘Front camera assistant’ and ‘Beautify for video calls’. When enabled, the former cranks up the display brightness to fill light while making video calls in low light. On the other hand, the latter applies a beautification filter during calls.
Xiaomi could have simply called the first option ‘Fill light’ instead of ‘Front camera assistant’, which also happens to be the name of the feature. Anyway, both options currently only work on WeChat video calls in China.
As Xiaomi has stopped releasing MIUI Global weekly beta builds a couple of years ago, the only way to experience this feature is by installing MIUI China weekly beta ROM after unlocking the bootloader.
At present, it’s not known when the feature will be available in the stable channel. Even if it arrives, it’s not clear whether it will make its way to international markets. Hopefully, Xiaomi works with global video calling apps to bring this useful feature to more customers around the world.
