Developers of a MIUI theme have implemented a Dynamic Island-style feature on a Xiaomi phone.
This is the first time we’re seeing someone attempt to copy the Apple feature on an Android device.
The theme is available on the MIUI Themes store.

Update: September 14, 2022 (12:49 AM ET): We first saw how the Android version of Dynamic Island works on a Xiaomi phone with a left-aligned punch hole. Now, the source who spotted the MIUI theme that enables the feature has posted some more examples of how it works on a device with a center-aligned punch hole.

You can see how the pill-shaped island expands and contracts to show notifications and music player controls. It doesn’t look as fluid as Apple’s version, but it works nevertheless.
