Just a few months ago, Xiaomi launched the new Redmi Turbo 3 smartphone in China. One of its coolest features is the Air Contactless Gestures, which lets you control your device just by waving your hand.

Right now, this feature is only available on the Redmi Turbo 3. But don’t worry! I’ll show you how you can enable this Contactless Gesture on your device.

This feature is already installed on HyperOS-supported smartphones, but it’s hidden. So, you need to find and enable it manually.
