                                                                                                      - Pablo Picasso
 MIUI is continously evolving with the current technology and provides those features to the customers.Now it is time for MIUI 10 which was recently launched for 9 Xiomi devices.

Google recently launched Android P for 12 devices including Mi Mix 2S with customizations such as new notification design,new recent apps design and much more. Xiomi adds this flavors to the MIUI 10 ROM.

Features of MIUI 10:

Visual View

 Fullscreen Experience

    MIUI 10 adds the full screen support which disables the navigation bar and adds the gesture support to  handle the functions of a navigation bar.This feature might be hard at first.Later,you'll get used to it.It'll be great to use your phone with fullscreen as it will be a great experience.As Xiomi has some big bezel less devices,it will  surely give you a immersive experience.
         It's a optional feature which can be enabled or disabled in the Settings.

New Notification Shade

MIUI 10 completely revamped the previous notification style into Android P approach.This version completely concentrates on the user interface.Even the volume dialog is changed into the stock Android style.The lockscreen also has a minor tweak which many may not notice.The notification toggle buttons changes into blue color when clicked.Corners of the notification is rounded just like the cards.

Recent Apps Makeover

Recent apps screen,one of the things that didn't changed much since the launch of the ROM.But now Xiomi decided to modify the recent apps in a different manner.This style looks entirely new and uses the full screen size.Used apps are arranged in a list,users can swipe left or right to close the running app.The fullscreen gesture works even in the recent apps screen.When the app is long clicked,we get some options  like lock app,settings of that app and multi screen.

Internal Improvements

Faster App Launch Time

Xiomi  claims that the MIUI launches the app much faster than the other competitors.Even the third party apps launches quicker than the system apps.The company states that some apps loads directly to the start page without looking into the loading progress.

AI Portrait Mode

"Portrait mode",most popular in terms of the mobile cameras which was launched recently.Most of the mobiles which support portrait have dual cameras.But Xiomi asserts that they brought portrait to single camera devices.Even the old devices will get this feature which is a great news to the users.
Xiomi made the portrait mode possible to single camera devices.
