MIUI 11 Beta Features
The following features come when you update your Xiaomi device to MIUI 11 from MIUI 10.
Attention – Empowering the productive
Xiaomi has focused more on optimising the comprehensive design for fullscreen display devices. They have worked on removing the visual clutters, improved the touch controls and refined the usage of colours to create a system where there won’t be any interference between the user and the content.
New Fonts
We have previously noticed that there was a new font introduced by Xiaomi called Milan Pro in the MIUI beta. Finally, they have announced it for the same for all of its supported devices, which makes the texts look beautiful in all languages. Also, the font-weight can be adjusted automatically over the documents. 
Ambient display
One of the most awaited features now comes with gorgeous dynamic themes. You won’t miss any notification anymore; the ambient display will lit up the screen whenever you receive a text message or any other information. You can personalise your device with a unique signature and keep the screen alive with amazing special effects and transitions.
Sounds of nature
Gone are those mornings when you wake up with annoying and repeated alarm ringtones. Now you will get to listen to sounds of nature which won’t make you tired. The authentic feature keeps changing the alarm ringtones just like nature does.
Mi Share
Previously we have seen it on Poco and many other Xiaomi devices. Mi share is similar to the additional file transferring app, but this native app is lightweight and moves data very quickly. It works both on phones and computers and vice versa.
Documents
You do not have to open the documents anymore. Preview them, stay productive and save your precious time with the new Mi Doc Viewer.
Casting
Cast videos, games, documents and other media from your Xiaomi device to your TV directly with the new MIUI 11 update. One of the unique features of Casting is that you can hide your items before casting it to the other screen.
