For the first time, Xiaomi will be having a separate event to launch MIUI Globally. The Xiaomi latest Android custom skin launched in China last month and will be unveiled Globally tomorrow. According to Max Ma, General Manager, Xiaomi Global internet business, the MIUI 12 Global launch will start at 20:00 (GMT+8), on May 19, 2020.
It’s been 10 years since the first iteration of MIUI was released, and this will be the first time it will be having a global launch. According to Max Ma’s letter to MIUI fans, the custom skin now supports over 80 languages, with over 310 million active users across 221 Regions and will continue to expand.
The new MIUI 12 custom Android skin is nothing we have seen before. It’s a complete overhaul of what we have experienced in the past. Aside from the new UI, the company dedicated a lot of resources and time to achieve a new level of privacy. The control panel has also been redesigned, and now, there’s a super live wallpaper to give your screen a refreshing look. Hopefully, we will learn more during the official unveiling tomorrow.
