Another feature we have on the Notification panel is media where we can play media, control the Audio output, Music share to play the music on someone's Bluetooth speaker or headphones, smart View.
Gestures
Talking about the Gestures, both Xiaomi and Samsung supports the Full-Screen Gestures and works very well.
In MIUI, after updating it to MIUI 12.5, the Gestures and the animations are now so much smooth, everything is just working fine.
Swipe left or right across the Navigation pill to switch between apps is also smooth now.
Moving onto Samsung's Navigation bar we can change the Button order, and in Swipe Gestures, we have the option to Swipe from the button and swipe from sides and bottom.
Moreover, we can set the Gesture sensitivity from Lower to Higher.

MIUI 12.5 or OneUI 3.1: Which is better
After updating it to their latest software's both Samsung's OneUI and Xiaomi's MIUI is enough capable to use as a daily driver because both have various customizations and features but in my opinion, I prefer the OneUI over MIUI as the ram management is amazing in OneUI as compared to MIUI, and it also offers Overall consistent and smooth experience.
After the MIUI12.5 update, the animations are much smoother, and the gestures are also a bit optimized and have no lags while using.
