Over time we have been able to see how the use of the mobile is not based solely on what we can do with our fingers on the screen, but we have come to find different shortcuts through the buttons or gestures on the screen . Among all the possibilities, Huawei’s knuckle gestures are some of the most striking due to the utility they offer and which Xiaomi has now fearlessly been encouraged to copy.
We are not surprised that between both layers of Chinese origin customization the similarities are common, since on other occasions we have seen the reverse direction of the action, where EMUI was the one that copies MIUI. Through Xiaomi’s own forums, some users had already been encouraged to ask for options with their knuckles and it seems that after a while, MIUI 12 is the version that will offer this option on our Xiaomi mobile.
Knuckle gestures in MIUI
This new function has begun to be implemented in some Xiaomi models, as on other occasions for now only in the Chinese ROM, which usually reveals options that weeks later arrive in Spain and the rest of Europe. This time it has been seen in the Redmi K30S, which makes us think of a function that, like so many others in MIUI 12, could be designed only for high-end models.
In Huawei we could already see that their knuckle gestures are compatible with both IPS screens and Amoled screens, so if Xiaomi is interested in implementing it fully in MIUI 12 there should be no problems. We remind you that not all MIUI 12 functions are present in any model and that is why some entry-level Redmi have been left off the hook to enjoy some options.
What can we do with the knuckles in MIUI
Once the options finish reaching Xiaomi phones, the functions that have been revealed for now remind us a lot of what is available in EMUI 10 and EMUI 11. Among the possibilities we come across the option of taking full screen captures or partials with our knuckle.
Other options are more unknown and had not been seen in EMUI, such as adjusting the brightness of the screen without having to access the control center. Shortcuts with the help of knuckle gestures in Xiaomi will also be a reality and we can draw a “V” on the screen to open a predefined app.
