Firstly, MIUI 10 has a new interface for notification panel and also comes with a slightly revamped Settings application. Furthermore, it also offers an AI-based Portrait mode to the single rear camera devices, but the Redmi Y2 comes with dual rear cameras, so it offers a hardware-based Portrait mode though.

Do make a note it's a phased rollout, so not everyone will receive it today itself.
