New MIUI 8 features: MIUI 8 Review

Recently I received stable update of MIUI 8 on my redmi note 3 phone. And I did the update instantly. After using it for a week I am really impressed with the new version of MIUI. I am still on Lollipop version after update, but as per Xiaomi we will soon get marshmallow update too. About MIUI 8 version, there are some awesome features available for the phone which I have never seen before. Let me tell you few good features of MIUI 8.

Unique features of MIUI 8

Dual App: Using this we can run two accounts of any app at the same time on our application. For example, it is like running two whatsapp with different accounts at same time on our phone. Using this dual app feature we can have another application icon of same app on our phone and we can use another account on that newly generated icon. Not only social apps, we can also use this feature for games and on any other app to make multiple accounts.

Long screen shot: This is another interesting feature offered by MIUI 8. Normally on android we can only take screen shot of whatever available on display. Suppose if we having long page then we need to scroll down and take another screen shot for it. But using this Long screen shot mode you can take whole screen shot in one image by scrolling down. Means whole page will come in one file This can be really handy in many ways.

Second Space: This works best if there are two users on single phone. By this way another user can create whole separate space for him and install the apps and files as he want on whole different space. Switching between two spaces is also quite easy. We can put different lock screen pattern for both and then to open any one space we can use that lock screen for it. So it is like having two phones in single phone.

Quick Ball: This feature is quite similar to iphone’s assistive touch feature. I am sure people who have used IOS can know this feature well. By this feature you will get small icon floating on your home screen, you can put this light icon anywhere on the screen. By tapping on it you will get different useful customization option directly on desktop. This can save your lots of time and you can set it as you like.

Notification Bar: They have also changed notification bar by lot. Now MIUI user is having totally new notification area where you can have those quick settings icons directly on notification area in sliding form. You will not get two separate screens for those menu and notifications. But they have give you option to have old kind of notification area too. But new one looks good.

So this is it. For me I am enjoying this new MIUI 8 version. MIUI surely knows how to provide good features even they don’t having latest android operating system. They have provided even more features then latest android operating system. One should surely try it out.
