MIUI introduces several new foldable features for the Mi Mix Fold

MIUI already has several useful features for foldable devices, including a home screen dock, split-screen multitasking, and floating windows for apps. But as we noted in our review of the Mi Mix Fold last year, MIUI can definitely use some work to enhance the experience for large screen devices. Xiaomi is well aware of the situation, and it has now released a new MIUI 13 beta build based on Android 12 for the Mi Mix Fold, introducing a plethora of new foldable features and improvements.

Most notably, the latest build introduces a revamped desktop layout for the inner display, while the dual-screen desktop has also been optimized. The overall multitasking experience has been updated as well, with improvements to parallel windows and free-form windows. Users can use a three-finger gesture to quickly enter split-screen or open a split-screen combination with one click. Next up, Control Center has a revised layout, and you can now swipe left and right to easily switch between Control Center and the notification center.

There are improvements to the keyboard as well, including a new 9-key dual-column keyboard form and dual GV keyboard form. Finally, system apps such as Files Manager, Gallery, Theme, Recorder, Calendar, Clock, and more have been updated with optimized page structure and layout.

If you’re a proud owner of the Mi Mix Fold and want to try out the new foldable features, you can download the MIUI 13 Closed Beta build from the link below. Note that you’ll have to flash the build using TWRP to bypass the MIUI beta account whitelisting.
