The Chinese company that's made so many news media sell is at it again.
Xiaomi has made a redesign for their custom mobile operating system and has released another version for its users.

Xiaomi’s MIUI is one of the most popular custom Android interfaces available on smartphones, riding on the back of Xiaomi’s insane popularity in Asia. At a launch event in China, where Xiaomi showed off the Xiaomi Mi MIX Alpha, Xiaomi Mi 9 Pro 5G and the new Mi TV Pro lineup, the company also announced the next version of MIUI — MIUI 11.


MIUI 11 brings several changes to Xiaomi’s UX skin, with most of the work done on the interface and the overall experience. Xiaomi’s changes to this end have won it a Red Dot Design award, which is a first for the company. For this upgrade, Xiaomi is looking to reduce the clutter in its design, and adopting a design language that speaks better to users who are already familiar with Xiaomi’s UX while still being clean and easy to grasp for new users. If you dislike the white interface, do not fret, as you also get Dark Mode as a standard feature for the system.

One of the highlights of this update is the use of a new font called MiLan Pro. We had spotted the font in a previous MIUI beta, and Xiaomi has finally officially announced the same for all of its supported devices. The font preview as pulled from the TTF file is as below:


Further, MIUI 11 features a variable thickness slider for the font instead of fixed-step changes, allowing users the freedom to choose the exact thickness for the font that will make the UX the most comfortable for them. Xiaomi is also using bold/thickness as a way to show UI interactions: for example, the Dialer’s number pad will have its associated text rendered thicker when the key is pressed. It’s a small and subtle change but should add to the user experience.


MIUI 11 Always On Display

The next highlighting feature of MIUI 11 is the new Always-On Display (AOD). On supported devices, you can now choose from various animated watch faces which can feature designs and patterns and even animated analog clocks. You can also choose to have static text displayed prominently on the AOD, because why not.



MIUI 11 also brings along a feature that mimics the Horizon Light feature from the OnePlus 7 Pro.
