In terms of design, the company says that it has taken the market trend into account and included gestures, which perform the role of navigation keys on a smartphone. The recent screen has also been refreshed and users will now be able to scroll down to get a stacked card view of their recently used apps. They will be able to swipe to remove apps or long press on an app for accessing shortcuts like a split view. The overall ROM has been reworked for rounded icons. Xiaomi has also reworked some audio aspects in MIUI 10 and the notification tone is said to vary with every message you receive. The timer app now plays ambient nature sounds.
There is no schedule yet as to when you can expect the update on your smartphone.
