From the official description, MIUI 12 can be said to be the heaviest update of MIUI in recent years, in terms of UI interface, animation, and features that have been upgraded.

In terms of system animation, MIUI brings a “grapefruit light cone animation architecture”, and MIUI 12 starts from the underlying technology, including animation engine, rendering engine, and illustration engine.

In particular, the rendering engine seeks to restore real-world light and shadow, bringing advanced interface blending + control-level real-time blurring, anti-aliasing rounded corners, seamless G2 continuous curves with hardware, and smooth-flowing dynamic rounded corners.

The physics engine is used to drive the system’s animation, and the duration of the interactive animation is determined by the touch operation that triggers it, presenting object texture and realistic feedback. When you exit the application, the icons simulate physical curves in three-dimensional space, restoring the real state of motion of objects and presenting vivid, fluid, and even interruptible physical space motion.

The MIUI has also been upgraded in terms of personal privacy protection, and the app’s behavior record will illuminate everything, faithfully recording all sensitive behavior of the app and presenting it to you. Further, when the application uses camera, recording, and positioning permissions, the system will give a clear indication, and click on the indication to control.

MIUI 12 can completely disable the use of the camera in the background, background wake-up. When applying for getting Permissions, you can choose to allow it only in use or this time. The Always Allow option will not be available for apps that do not specify the purpose of the permission. Sharing photos can erase sensitive information and share life, but not privacy.

MIUI12 also brings a global free window feature that is intuitive for gesture manipulation and adapts to a variety of usage scenarios. When you come to a message, swipe down to expand into the small window mode and swipe up to exit. For apps that only need to see the status, drag to the corner of the screen to hang.
