1.Q:System animations
Reproducing real-world movement accurately is key for creating a lifelike visual experience. In
MIUI 12, that's the job that animations do perfectly.
2. Q:Layered icons
Delicate anti-aliasing rounds the corners of the UI elements dynamically to create a perfect fit
with the hardware. Brand new backgrounds of the Weather app reflect the changes in the real
world. Switching between portrait and landscape orientation has become smooth and natural.
3. Q:Visualization
In MIUI 12, Xiaomi reimagined the way information is displayed. Data, touch controls, statuses, and other objects are now visualized to let customer get much more information at a single glance, skipping repetitive operations and complicated text.
Starting with MIUI 9, Xiaomi began introducing layered icons. MIUI 12 adds dynamics to this concept. With 5 separate layers, each icon is able to imitate trajectories of movement and react to gestures. Icons notice how customer interact with them and respond to every touch differently.
4. Q:Super wallpapers
Xiaomi believe that Always-on display is becoming more and more important in terms of mobile design. That's why Xiaomi decided to make personalization options consistent throughout the Home screen, Lock screen, and Always-on display scenes. Now customer can pick a wallpaper and enjoy a wholesome experience, always discovering something new in this unified aesthetic as customer switch between different UI elements.
5. Q:3D real-time rendering
Super wallpapers are rendered in real-time by the Unity 3D game engine. The first set of wallpapers is dedicated to space travel. The images provided by NASA allowed Xiaomi to recreate faraway planets with strikingly high precision. Thanks to real-time rendering, whenever customer turn off the screen, unlock the device or go back to the Home screen, customer will see the same scenes a bit differently. Performing familiar tasks on your phone becomes much more satisfying when a simple swipe feels like an interstellar journey. Super wallpapers work perfectly with Dark mode, making customers' experience truly immersive.
Privacy
1.Q:Recording audio， using the camera， accessing location
To provide the services, apps may obtain customer's personal information by using the camera, accessing customer's location, and using other permissions. Whenever MIUI 12 detects that an app is accessing the location, taking photos, or recording audio, a color-coded icon in the status bar will appear. At this point, customer will know that own privacy might be compromised. This alert will allow customer to decide whether to adjust the permissions related to location services, camera, or microphone.
2.Q:Sharing photos without metadata
Photos usually contain location info and other sensitive metadata (e.g. the time when the photo
was made and the specs of the device). In MIUI 12, customer can choose to remove such information before items are shared.
Control center
MIUI 12 introduces an independent Control center. More space and intuitive animated UI make it
easier for customer to perform quick actions and control the device.
1.Q:Brand new Notification shade and Control center

status bar to open the Notification shade. Toggles, stats, and controls were moved to the new
Control center which can be opened by swiping down from the right side of the status bar.
2.Q:Switching between Wi-Fi networks， Bluetooth devices， and data SIM cards
In MIUI 12， customer can tap the arrow in the lower right corner of the Wi-Fi switch to see available networks and switch between them. It also works for Bluetooth connections and mobile data.
After selecting the option needed, customer can quickly return to the Control center by
tapping the area outside of the menu. Control center makes frequent actions faster and more
convenient.

making the screen look amazing and comfortable in any light conditions.
1.Q:Non-linear color inversion
Dark mode's non-linear color inversion accurately identifies the UI elements of the apps, increasing contrast for darker areas.
Pure black is used as the app's background in most cases to blend the UI into the screen bezels
and provide an immersive viewing experience. White separators on dark backgrounds are also
darkened to make them look less prominent and irritating.
2.Q:Wallpaper adaptation
When Dark mode is on, customer can also apply a darker color scheme to high-quality wallpapers.
Pixel-level adjustments will make the wallpaper look more natural alongside the darkened UI.
3.Q:Dynamic contrast adjustment
People are used to looking at their phones with the lights off at night. To decrease the eye
strain caused by this habit, MIUI 12 dynamically adjusts the contrast based on the screen
brightness in Dark mode.
