Xiaomi released MIUI 11 yesterday in India alongside the Redmi Note 8 Pro and it comes with some pretty big system-wide changes, some even specific to the Indian region. The key elements include a minimalistic design, an Always-On display, a system-wide Dark Mode, wallpaper carousel, and much more.
Now, many of these features were official in China and we know how they work. However, there were India-specific features which are interesting and we need to highlight them here.
Xiaomi introduced a Mint keyboard in collaboration with Bobble with support for 25+ Indic languages. The keyboard also supports translations within transliterations, real-time emoji predictions for Indic languages, cloud sync and much more. There are also, of coures, Quick Replies, which is a sorely missed feature, although we don’t know if it’s specific to India. It allows users to still reply to messages and calls while viewing a video or playing a game.
