The most significant UI change in MIUI 12 is the Control Center, which brings iOS -esque design to Xiaomi phones. It replaces the old Quick Settings panel on Mi and Redmi phones running MIUI 12 and later. The background blur effect on Control Center enhances the beauty of it. But, the blur effect will not be available on budget phones, like Remi 8A, and instead, you will see a gray background.
