Xiaomi Mi 8 and Mi Mix 2S receive Mi Mix 3's Night Scene camera mode

Ro, 09 November 2018

Just two weeks ago the Xiaomi's Mi Mix 3 was announced and the company's co-founder, Lei Jun, promised to deliver the phone's excellent camera software to its other two flagship phones - the Mi Mix 2S and the Mi 8 since they all rely on the same dual-camera setup.

The feature comes in the form of a MIUI 8.11.8 closed beta in China, which means that international rollout of the stable ROM is imminent. That's, of course, if no major issues arise.

Aside from the night mode camera enhancement, the patch contains some minor bug fixes and turns off the portable hotspot function after saving a new password.
