Xiaomi testing new ‘paper’ colour reading mode

Xiaomi has rolled out MIUI 12 version of a lot of its devices by now. But that hasn’t stopped the company from working/testing new features. And this week, report suggests they are trying out a new unreleased feature called ‘paper’ colour mode for enhanced reading.

As you might have figured, enabling this mode will most likely turn your phone’s screen into an e-ink display. This settings will ensure people can easily read for long duration without any discomfort to the eye. E-ink displays are used on Kindle e-book readers by Amazon.

The feature was spotted inside the code scripts of MIUI 12, allowing you to change the option through the Reading mode settings. Since Xiaomi hasn’t released it in the beta version, we’re not sure which devices will support the new mode. But its presence in the beta code suggests we could see the feature roll out with future updates.

Reading modes have been offered in multiple forms by phone manufacturers. Paper colour mode is an interesting choice, and something that has worked to good effect for many years. Having said that, we’re not sure if a phone’s screen will be big enough to justify use of this effect. These are the things Xiaomi must be testing out with the developers, before rolling it out for everyone.
