Moving on to privacy and security, MIUI comes with a pre-installed system Security app. The themes themselves change not only the general appearance but also ringtones and system icons. Aside from the ones pre-installed on the device, there's a themes store that gives you a wide selection. The system lets you choose the style of the Always-on display or the theme of the UI. The only caveat is that the apps where you want the feature enabled need to be whitelisted in advance.Ĭustomization is, as always, a big part of MIUI. It lets you launch video apps in pop-up windows, Screenshot, Record screen, Cast, and Play Video with the screen off, including on YouTube without a Premium subscription. In games, the Sidebar provides a couple of gaming-related features, while in video apps, the Sidebar becomes a Video toolbox. Notably, the Sidebar is different depending on the scenario. In case you want a faster shortcut to apps that support free-form windows, just enable the Sidebar. However, you can have only one floating app open at a time. That's where you can open up apps in floating windows. Unlike the standard recent apps menu, the MIUI task switcher lists the apps vertically and provides several useful shortcuts. There are custom and preset app categories for faster navigation. The app drawer is also enabled by default, and we like that Xiaomi has placed the search bar at the bottom of the screen for easier reach. The home screen, recent apps and the general settings menu are business as usual. Home screen, notification shade, Control center And in case you are not a fan, you can always revert back to the standard notification shade with quick toggles in one place. We found it to be quite convenient, and it's a way to educate users about MIUI's unique approach to the UI. The split between a notification shade and Control Center is enabled by default this time, and that's probably a good thing. Overall, looks haven't changed, and previous MIUI users will feel right at home. The new MIUI 13 promises under-the-hood improvements such as better RAM management, CPU utilization and more effective storage use. The Xiaomi 12T Pro runs on Android 12 but with a newer, improved MIUI 13 on top.
