MIUI 9.8.5 adds dual Wi-Fi, keyboard shortcuts and more

MIUI 9.8.5

Of course, Xiaomi, like the other brands that make software, use their betas to test new features that later may end up in the stable version of the system. And we will talk about that today, about news of MIUI 9.8.5 views in beta.

They have added three very interesting new features, which many users will be able to use. We tell you what has been added in this new beta of MIUI.

Dual watch

This is an option that although some users may not need it at all, for some others it will be the most interesting. It's about a dual watch. With this dual clock you can have your local time and the time of another place in the world on your home screen, without having to access another app.

For people who work internationally or have a friend or family member abroad, it is very useful, since it can be easily synchronized at a glance.

To activate it we will have to go to Settings> More settings> Date and time> Dual clock.

Shortcut bar below keyboard

This is Android, not all the news we see first, and it is that they may be hidden in the code. For this reason, it has been possible to identify this functionality, which will possibly be added in the near future.

It is seen that we will have a shortcut bar just below the keyboard. The shortcuts are rumored to be cut, paste, copy, etc. Things you do on a regular basis while writing. This is the code that has been seen.

<string name="raise_bottom_height_of_keyboard">Enhanced</string>
<string name="raise_bottom_height_of_keyboard_sub_title">A bar with customizable shortcuts will appear under the keyboard if you switch to Enhanced mode</string>
<string name="raise_bottom_height_of_keyboard_title">Adjust keyboard to full screen display</string>

Dual Wi-Fi or Dual WLAN Acceleration

This function can be very interesting. Dual Wi-Fi is a technology that is being promoted recently. Brands such as MediaTek or Oppo have already claimed to be working on this technology, and it seems that Xiaomi does not want to be left behind.

Dual Wi-Fi is an option that will allow us to connect to two Wi-Fi networks, in this way we can delegate the functions and for example, with one playing or browsing and the other taking care of heavy downloads.

This has also been found in the lines of code.

<string name="slavewifi">Dual WLAN</string>
<string name="slavewifi_disconnect">Disconnect</string>
<string name="slavewifi_notification_title">Dual WLAN acceleration</string>
<string name="slavewifi_settings">Tap to modify configuration</string>

These are all the news that we can find in MIUI 9.8.5 that may affect us in the future, and that we are looking forward to receiving. What do you think?
