Xiaomi has been preparing for the next step in the day of the launch of its integration, MIUI that runs Android on its products. MIUI 12 is already ripe at times and it seems like progress has been made, however it is various software discussions on the table And one of them may have come from Weibo, a social network in China.
With it we know the book by Xiaomi Camera Products Director, also shared by Lei Jun himself, the company's managing director. In this publication, the director says that they are trying to choose between two locations that will be reset their phone camera. The two contact surfaces can be seen in both images. Lei Jun, by the way, seems to go for the second option, option B.
Two menus to choose from: a drop-down menu or a sidebar
Because of this publication we know, or think we know, that Xiaomi is redesigning its camera app. Specifically, I will now be working on how to come up with additional options that are often hidden in secondary interface menus. The menus tend to be too obscure for the account and do not allow for the proper use of camera software, so that Xiaomi seems to want to navigate our path.
In this case, Xiaomi is in the process of making decisions between version 1 and 2. The first consists of a to slide the menu from bottom to top It works the same way in the Android app drawer, as well as the MIUI drawer for a few versions of its launcher. Using the swipe gesture (or by pressing the More button), additional options will be displayed from the bottom (vertical) or right (horizontal) camera menu.
The director says this method allows displaying multiple data panels in a single action, although it can be very difficult for a company to use, without much controversy while interacting. With this option, the camera options will remain easily accessible when using a cell phone with one hand, at the bottom of the screen.
With option B, the "More" button entry on the right side of the camera menu, as always, is suggested. Clicking on it will make it visible sidebar menu from right to left
Therefore, Xiaomi recommends two types of app for its camera when it may be necessary to decide. One has a sub menu and the other has a side menu, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. As we mentioned before, Liu Jun seems to want menu B, on the other hand, in his Weibo account, we'll see which one ultimately wins the battle and ends up being used, we believe in MIUI 12.
