Leaked MIUI 12 Screenshots Show New Focus Mode and Screen Time UI
Apr. 15, 2020After a couple of screenshots showcasing the new navigation bar and notification panel of Xiaomi’s upcoming MIUI 12last week, new images have surfaced online showing off the design of MIUI 12’s Settings app.
The images are reportedly extracted from a beta version of MiSettings APK uploaded to the Chinese MIUI Community forum before it got taken down. As noticed by XDA Junior Memberkacskrz, the changes include redesigns in several parts of the Settings app, such as Focus mode, Refresh rate, and more.
To start off, the page to choose refresh rate has been apparently redesigned, as you can see below. Instead of leaving a simple toggle as is currently present, Xiaomi has decided to allocate development resources to make a fancy landing page with two buttons.Old UI (left) vs New UI (right) Credits: kacskrz / XDA
Then comes Focus mode. Xiaomi appears to have removed the 20 minutes option on the main page. Also, the existence of a “+” button hints there could be an option to manually set time limits.Old UI (left) vs New UI (right) Credits: kacskrz / XDA
Xiaomi has adopted a graph view for viewing weekly statistics of Screen time. Emphasis has been given to individual app usage time as well.Old UI (left) vs New UI (right) Credits: kacskrz / XDA
In the Advanced Settings, the company has added curved gray boxy backgrounds which looks more like Samsung’s One UI 2.0.Old UI (left) vs New UI (right) Credits: kacskrz / XDA
According to leaks, Xiaomi will start rolling out MIUI 12 towards theend of the year. Since there’s an ample amount of time for the company to make design changes, the interface seen above might not necessarily reflect to the final version.
