Xiaomi‘s next-generation custom ROM MIUI 12 was confirmed to be in development as early as January this year. Since then, we have seen some few details pop up here and there. Even though Xiaomi is yet to announce the commencement of beta test or any release date, a list of the Xiaomi models that will possibly be among the first set of models to get MIUI 12 has appeared online.

The models listed include the new Xiaomi Mi 10, Mi 10 Pro, as well as the Mi 9, Mi 9SE, Mi 9 Pro. Other models include the Mi 8, the discontinued Mi CC9 Pro, Mi CC9, and Mi CC9e. Xiaomi will also push the update for the Xiaomi Mix 3, Mix 2s, and Mix 2.

The list also includes Redmi series models such as the flagship Redmi K30, Redmi K20 Pro, and Redmi K20. Others are Redmi 8 Pro, Redmi Note 8, Redmi 7 Pro, Redmi Note 7, Redmi 8, Redmi 8A, Redmi 7, and Redmi 7A.

These models are tipped to be among the first set of Xiaomi models that would get MIUI 12 when it starts rolling out. That explains why some models such as the first-gen Xiaomi Mix is conspicuously missing from the list. It is said that models that are not listed would likely get updated later on. However, we can’t vouch for the authenticity of the list. It could as well be fake.

Xiaomi’s upcoming MIUI 12 Expected features

Xiaomi had hinted as far back as October 2019 that the development of the next-generation MIUI 12 ROM has commenced internally. The company again officially confirmed the MIUI 12 moniker with the rollout expected later this year. The latest iteration, MIUI 11 was released in September 2019. We don’t expect the MIUI to come any earlier but that may be the case going by the rate at which details of the ROM has appeared in recent times. Although Xiaomi is yet to officially reveal the features the MIUI 12 will bring to the table, a mod on the Mi community has shared some of the expected features that are highly likely to be onboard the custom ROM.

Animation and Navigation bar

The upcoming ROM is expected to come along with a much-improved animation and navigation bar. The current navigation and animation bars on the MIUI 11 ROM isn’t bad at all but we’ll likely be seeing some improvements and perhaps new features.

Here are some GIF animations of the navigation bar while switching applications on the MIUI 11 closed beta version.

Multi-tasking animation

Apart from the animations shown above, there are several animations such as open-screen animations which were also implemented on the MIUI 11 closed beta version. Although not perfect, the improvement in user experience is really much better than the old version. The multi-task animation is said to be compatible with the 90Hz refresh rate. It also has a cool look and is easy to select.

New background style

With the continuous increase in the display refresh rate after the release of MIUI 11, there are users who would like to see Xiaomi effect a change on the background style of its custom ROM.

The MIUI development team is said to have accepted the suggestions gotten as feedback on the Mi community and is considering new solutions. However, changing the background style is considered a huge project and many factors need to be considered. Thus, such change may come with a major version update but that is not very certain to happen on MIUI 12.

Camera UI revision

A member of MIUI’s camera team is said to have hinted on Weibo that the camera UI may be revised. In an era where camera lens modules continually get enhanced, using the original camera UI will make the operation appear more and more complicated. A good camera UI is imperative.

Application icons change

The MIUI theme has always been a domestic leader, but there are also a lot of exquisite icon packages developed by third-party developers on the Internet that have not been listed on the MIUI theme store. Even if it is on the shelves, there will be many inexplicable bugs in the mashup. According to a post by a leading mod on the Mi community, Xiaomi may now include the option of changing app icons on the Mi theme store on MIUI 12.

Dark mode

The current MIUI 11 stable version has a dark mode button, but it lacks global inversion (not system-wide) which means the dark mode experience isn’t uniform on all app. The development ROM has global inverse color options and after continuous optimization, the experience is acceptable. After nearly half a year of development, the system application adaptation has been basically completed on the development ROM. Thus, MIUI 12 will come with a complete and uniform dark mode.

More comprehensive system-level service

The MIUI 12 is expected to bring more comprehensive system-level services like a health app which integrates all the different fitness gadgets that Xiaomi has under its arsenal. We may likely not see anything in this regard, though.

Advertising service optimization

Adverts are one thing MIUI fans loath so much and Xiaomi has promised to whittle down the ads on the ROM. MIUI 11 features optimizations which reduce the ads but there are still systems ads that are obstructive. Xiaomi may likely find a way to integrate ads on the system with MIUI 12, instead of pop-ups. Again, we are not sure anything will be done in this regard as the company can’t entirely remove ads since it is one of their revenue sources.

Enhanced privacy management mechanism

Android’s privacy has always been tarnished by iOS users. However, a new privacy management mechanism has been launched and will be officially released on MII 12. In the privacy management on the beta ROM, the rights management of the software is further tightened, and more autonomy is in the hands of users.

New notification filtering mechanism

MIUI has experimented with different ways to manage more and more software notifications for a long time, but in the face of more and more pushes today, it seems incompetent. Xiaomi may be looking at a notification box mechanism

MIUI will intelligently group notifications and aggregate them in a box so that notifications do not fill up your phone screen. The preview obtained from the internal testing shows the new mechanism makes notifications much more useful, but there are also imperfections. MIUI 12 may likely get a more improved push notification management system.

As stated earlier, these are likely features we might see on the MIUI 12 but all may not find their way onboard. Although Xiaomi isn’t likely to launch the new ROM with Android 11, it may likely get several features found on Google’s next-gen Android version. For now, we don’t know what those features will be.
