As MIUI 8 open beta is already out in China for testing, you can expect the final version to be packing up soon and released to the public in the next few weeks. During the period, here's what users have found a lot of neat stuff in the beta. Here are some of the upgrades and features found on the ROM.

One of the most notable changes is visual, the OS's colours will change according to the month and even the weather (cool), in addition to that, there will be more "young" colours added in by Xiaomi in order to make the whole experience vibrant and alive.

Next, split screen multitasking is confirmed to be in the OS. However, it was reported that the feature won't be in the first patch release, but it's in the plans so stay tuned for that.

Speaking of split screen, a recording live screen feature will be included. The recording live screen is not what you think it is, though, unlike the Facebook Livestream, MIUI's version is used for fingerprint payment support like wallet service and Alipay.

Xiaomi will be introducing Mi Lanting, Mi Lanting is a new concept by the company designed to protect your eyes in long hours by developing a new perfect font collection called "centre of gravity of fonts." Not really sure what does that mean, but it sounds intriguing.

Changes are made for the Gallery section, nothing much to know except that there's a new editing feature that lets you do doodles, graffiti and other new filters on your picture collection. You can edit videos as well with basic functions like cropping, adding filters, captions or even music. There's also a new SWIPE function to share your photos or video easily.

You can now do conversion rate on the calculator, but you know what's even cooler? A new scanner that does is able to solve math problems with step by step solutions and able to convert information in images to text from any angle. This scanner comes with a Quick QR code generation for WeChat Wallet and Alipay in China.

Similarly to the Apple's Assistive Touch feature, MIUI 8 will have its own semi-transparent hovering option circle. Allowing you to put it anywhere on the screen, this makes one-handed operation much easier for quick functions.

Sick of those random fraud SMS coming into your inbox? MIUI 8 has a solution for that and it has an inbuilt SMS fraud detection system to check if the messages are a fraud or not. It will give you a warning message if the link is suspicious, and another final warning if you're at the doorstep of the website.
