The team of Techindeep reveals to us what the version news MIUI 12.1 which are currently being tested in the beta versions of the Chinese ROM.

These are all the news that await us with the MIUI 12.1 version: they are currently being tested in the beta ROMs but they will come to us in a few months
According to what revealed by the source, the news would be several. Let's start with the purely aesthetic ones.
New fingerprint animations
One of the things we have always wanted in MIUI, since Xiaomi produces smartphones with it unlocking of the screen integrated in the display, is the possibility of change touch animations. Well, it looks like the next update will bring new ones. Furthermore, according to colleagues, it will be possible to add others in the future thanks to the application “Theme". This, if confirmed, would be truly fantastic news.
App vault or drawer
This is something that has actually changed since the first release of MIUI 12: when we do sqipe to the right and therefore we go to the tab on the left of the main one, we find theapp vault or drawer. This will come redesigned and its design will present a few more curves, in iOS style.
Weather application
Also the app "weather" it will come modified slightly like the vault app. In this case, thanks to the update, it will be easier to check the weather in the various cities stored. Everything will be accompanied by a pleasant animation as we see in the clip.
Always On Display (AOD)
How much did we suffer to have a Always On Display that would meet our needs. Thanks to MIUI 12 this feature has been decidedly enhanced but with the MIUI 12.1 will jump even further. In fact it seems that we can finally choose which elements to hide among those that can be shown on the screen. Among these the icon of battery, notifications or pedometer.
Release security with keyboard
Now let's move on to a more useful than beautiful feature. We had talked about it in a way long ago when we told you that Xiaomi was working to develop one functionality that would not allow prying eyes to spy on passwords or personal files. To some extent the goal of this feature is similar: we will be allowed to change the arrangement of the buttons on the digital keyboard if we use it as a method to unlock the device. In a nutshell every time we unlock the smartphone i numbers on the keyboard will have different positions. This will act as a deterrent by preventing attackers from remembering a certain hand movement.
