Xiaomi may very soon be giving the last MIUI 12.5 beta build for its devices as the latest beta release notes state that beta releases will be suspended due to the “adjustment of the software system architecture.” While the reason provided is rather vague, it is safe to assume that it’s just Xiaomi shifting its software onto the MIUI 13 base in prep for its beta releases.
The release notes are a part of the changelog for the MIUI 12.5 beta 21.12.8 update and we have given the entire thing below (via Xiaomiui).
- Due to the adjustment of the software system architecture, the MIUI development version will be suspended for a period of time starting from 12.13, always believe that beautiful things are about to happen.

As seen above, not only will MIUI 12.5 beta updates be halted, but the Redmi K30 5G, Redmi K30i 5G, Mi 10 Lite Zoom, Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G (Mi 10T Lite), and the Redmi Note 11 Pro will also stop receiving Android 12 builds temporarily. This is effective from December 13th and Xiaomi is yet to provide any information on when said builds will resume.
Coming to MIUI 13 itself, it is said to be a major upgrade over MIUI 12.5 and will be bringing along a number of UI changes and new features, although we are still clueless about what they might be. Still, a number of subtle changes have already begun showing up, a few of which we have mentioned in this piece.
An official announcement for the new OS version is expected this month but it may take a while for the update to reach all of the eligible devices globally.
