1 Code scanner
MIUI developers have worked hard to improve the standard QR code scanning application. In addition to the standard scanning of QR codes, the ability to read barcodes of goods and online purchases of these products has been added. Back in MIUI 8, it became possible to shoot objects and search for similar products in online stores. These functions are more relevant for China, but we believe that something similar can be done here.
In addition, the scanner in MIUI 8 can do the following:
- solve math problems
- translate text into 7 languages
- scan and save contacts from business cards
- scanning documents and other
2 Cloning applications
Another cool new feature in MIUI 8 that makes life a lot easier is "cloning apps" or "dual apps". Using this feature, the user can duplicate applications, for example a messenger, and bind different phone numbers or settings to different versions of the same program.
This is convenient: now you can have two accounts on Facebook Messenger or Instagram, gamers can create two accounts on one device to play games, and now you can link two to one smartphone. The possibilities of "dual applications" are limited only by your imagination.
3 Second desktop
In the international Global version, this function is called Second Space, it is something like an additional desktop for a second user. You can manually select which applications and data will be available to each user. For example, only games will be available for children, but there will be no browser and app store. Or you can give your smartphone to a friend for a while, but your data, such as photos, passwords and social networks, he cannot see.
4 Long-term screenshot
It often happens that all important content does not fit into one screenshot. To do this, MIUI 8 provides a long-term screenshot function, which will allow you to take a large screenshot without unnecessary problems.
5 Calculator
The calculator in MIUI 8 has acquired many functions, it can even be called a universal converter of everything. After all, the new calculator can not only count, but also convert such units of measurement as speed, temperature, length, and more.
Also, using the calculator in MIUI 8, you can calculate taxes and your profits. Finally, the% icon for calculating percentages has appeared in the calculator.
6 Video editor
Now in MIUI 8, you can edit videos right in the standard camera app. The update brings a full-fledged video editor to the smartphone, which is in no way inferior to third-party solutions.
He can do the following:
- video cropping
- adding text to video
- adding effects
- add audio or music from smartphone to video
7 Photo editor
The MIUI 8 operating system also acquired a built-in editor for photos and images. Now most of the edits to the photo can be made directly from the smartphone, the following appeared:
- more possibilities of the built-in drawing tool (choice of colors, various brushes)
- more image control settings
- there were built-in stickers
- image cropping at an angle appeared
