Xiaomi Mi 8 Unboxing & Hands On MIUI 10 features a UI redesign. The new UI is optimized for smartphones with high screen-to-body ratios and thin bezels, according to the company. Also, MIUI 10 has a brand new Recents app menu. The Recents app menu in MIUI 9 was a sideways scrolling card switcher, while MIUI 10 has a 2×2 app list to enable more apps to be seen at once. The layout maximizes screen space. The Recents menu supports full screen gestures and lets users swipe to delete tasks and long press for more options.

Xiaomi stated that Mi Ecosystem devices will be directly controlled by MIUI 10 without the need for a secondary app. MIUI 10 also has a new car mode that optimizes the layout on the user’s device for better navigation while driving. New voice commands are available for answering a call, reply to a text message, and change the route.

Finally, the company detailed that the closed beta MIUI 10 China Developer ROM will start on Friday, June 1, for the following devices:
