One of the features of the recently released Apple iPhone 14 is the Dynamic Island theme. The new theme has now found its way into a Xiaomi smartphone, thanks to some outstanding developers. This is the first time we’re seeing something like this although Xiaomi is yet to approve the change.
The Dynamic Island theme on the iPhone 14 essentially camouflages the pill-shaped camera housing. It provides information on notifications, calls, timers, Bluetooth pairing, and others. The Mi Theme developer successfully implemented the Android version of Dynamic Island. A short video detailing the operation of Dynamic Island on the Android smartphone was also released. The Android version of the Apple Theme is called Grumpy UI and is available only in the Chinese version yet. It also contains a “Now playing” section in the MIUI software. The video shows that the theme was able to hide the pinhole selfie camera in the corner when the island is expanded.

Although Xiaomi is silent so far on the new feature, the theme developers say the update is still under review. The Grumpy UI, if approved will be on the MIUI Themes store. Although the utility of a pill-shaped camera theme covering is not very common with Android devices, it will be interesting to see whether Xiaomi will approve the feature. Few Android smartphones come with pill-shaped notches, but the Dynamic Island-styled Android Theme could be available someday. We’ll see whether Xiaomi will tap into the feature.
