The POCO M3 was launched with MIUI 12 based on Android 10 in India back in February 2021. But it was only recently that other variants of the device began receiving Android 11-based MIUI 12.5, although the Indian variant has still been left out. And as the variant still awaits stable MIUI 12.5, MIUI 12.5 Enhanced stable beta has already begun rolling out to some users.

The update carrying version 12.5.1.0.RJFINXM weighs 2.6GB and brings a number of performance-oriented improvements such as focused algorithms, liquid storage, atomized memory, swift performance, and smart balance. These have been outlined in the official changelog given below.

POCO M3 India MIUI 12.5 Enhanced official changelog:

• Swift performance: More life between the charges.
• Focused algorithms: Our new algorithms will dynamically allocate system resources based on specific scenes, ensuring a smooth experience on all models.
• Atomised memory: Ultra-fine memory management mechanism will make RAM usage more efficient.
• Liquid storage: New sensitive storage mechanisms will keep your system vibrant and responsive as time goes by.
• Smart balance: Core system improvements allow your device to make the best of the flagship hardware specs.
• System: Stable MIUI based on Android 11

The changelog also mentions Android 11, meaning it’s the first time the Android version has hit Indian users, which is a major mess-up on part of Xiaomi/POCO considering it’s now the era of Android 12.

Moreover, considering that the update is still in its stable beta stages, it may take a while before it is rolled out widely. Stable beta builds, after all, are a prelude to stable builds and are rolled out to select users to ensure that it is free from bugs.

Still, there is a way you can receive such builds sooner than everyone else. Simply head over to Settings > System update > Update settings and tap on Receive updates sooner.

A manual update can also be tried by downloading the build through this link.

Xiaomi has started rolling out MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition update for two more Lite smartphones. These devices are called Mi 11 Lite and Mi Note 10 Lite. The former was released in 2021, while the latter launched in 2020.

The latest version of MIUI is now being seeded out to Mi 11 Lite and Mi Note 10 Lite with the following build numbers.

• Mi 11 Lite

  • Global – V12.5.8.0.RKQMIXM
  • EEA – V12.5.6.0.RKQEUXM
  • India – V12.5.3.0.RKQINXM

• Mi Note 10 Lite

  • Global – V12.5.4.0.RFNMIXM
  • Turkey – V12.5.4.0.RFNTRXM

Like any other OTA software update, the MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition update for the aforementioned Xiaomi phones is also being rolled out in batches.

Therefore, some users may receive the update earlier, while others may have to wait a bit longer. It should be also available for the remaining regional variants of these devices in the coming days.

The Mi Note 10 Lite is the oldest of the two handsets. It debuted in 2020 with MIUI 11 based on Android 10. On the other hand, the Mi 11 Lite went official earlier this year with MIUI 12 based on Android 11.

Both these phones only saw a limited availability. Hence, we don’t think Xiaomi will support them for a longer period of time. Perhaps, the company might surprise us.

The Redmi Note 10S sits between the Redmi Note 10 and the Redmi Note 10 Pro.  Unlike the latter two, it debuted with MIUI 12.5 based on Android 11 out of the box. However, despite that, it has started receiving the MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition only now.

Xiaomi has begun to roll out the MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition update for the Redmi Note 10S. The latest software update for the handset is currently live in Turkey with build number V12.5.5.0.RKLTRXM. 

As usual, the update is being seeded out in batches. As a result, it may take some time to reach every user. It should be also available for other regional variants of the smartphone in the coming days.

The Redmi Note 10S is one of the two models in the international Redmi Note 10 series with a MediaTek chipset. It is powered by an Helio G95 SoC, while the Redmi Note 10 5G has a Dimensity 700 chip.

Some of the highlights of the phone include a 6.43-inch FHD+ AMOLED display, 64MP (wide) + 8MP (ultra-wide) + 2MP (macro) + 2MP (depth) quad-camera setup, 13MP selfie camera, dual stereo speakers, 3.5mm headphone jack, MicroSD card slot, side-mounted fingerprint sensor, IP53 rating, 5,000mAh battery, and 33W fast charging.

The next major system updates for the device should be MIUI 13 and Android 12.

Xiaomi has started rolling out MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition update for three more devices. The first one is the POCO F3 GT, which was released at the end of July 2021. The second and third models are Mi Note 10 and Mi Note 10 Pro respectively. This duo made its debut in November 2019.

The POCO F3 GT is nothing but a rebranded Redmi K40 Gaming Edition. Since the original Chinese handset received the latest version of MIUI in China recently, it was obvious for the rebadged Indian version to get the update as well.

On the other hand, the Mi Note 10 and the Mi Note 10 Pro are basically the same phones with the only difference being their camera lens. Hence, they run a common MIUI build and are receiving the new update together. 

They are known as Mi CC9 Pro and Mi CC9 Pro Premium Edition in China. Currently, only the Indonesian variant has got access to the fresh version of MIUI.

The latest system update for the aforementioned Xiaomi group smartphones arrives with the following build number.

• POCO F3 GT

  • India – V12.5.7.0.RKJINXM

• Mi Note 10 / 10 Pro

  • Indonesia – V12.5.4.0.RFDIDXM

Like any other software update, this one is also being rolled out in batches. Therefore, it may take some time to reach every user.

Xiaomi has started rolling out MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition update for two more devices. These phones are called Redmi 9T and Redmi K40 Gaming Edition. The former is sold in international markets, while the latter is exclusive to China.

Chinese tech giant Xiaomi is gearing up to unveil MIUI 13 in the coming days. However, there are still multiple handsets out there that are yet to be upgraded to MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition.

The update is currently rolling out to the following regional variants of the listed smartphones with the mentioned build numbers.

• Redmi 9T

  • Global – V12.5.4.0.RJQMIXM
  • Turkey – V12.5.2.0.RJQTRXM

• Redmi K40 Gaming Edition

  • China – V12.5.12.0.RKJCNXM

Like any other OTA software update, the latest system update for these phones is also being rolled out in batches. Therefore, it may take some time to reach every user.

That being said, the Redmi 9T is originally known as Redmi Note 9 4G in China. This version of the handset has already received the update in China. At the same time, the variant sold in India as Redmi 9 Power is yet to get the update just like the remaining regional variants of Redmi 9T.

On the other hand, the Redmi K40 Gaming Edition also goes by the name of POCO F3 GT in India. The POCO version of the device should receive the update in the coming days.

Xiaomi has been rolling out MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition update for more devices for the past few days. The latest phone to receive the update is POCO M2. The M2 is not only one of the best-sellers of the brand, but also the second most-affordable model.

The POCO M2 is nothing but a rebranded Redmi 9. The Redmi 9 got access to MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition update at the end of October. The Indian variant of this device called Redmi 9 Prime got the update a few days back.

Now, the new software is finally available for POCO M2 as well. The latest system update for the handset arrives with build number V12.5.3.0.RJRINXM.

Since the fresh version of MIUI for the phone is being pushed via OTA, some units may receive it earlier, while others will take some time. Anyway, all users should get the update in the coming days.

The POCO M2 is an India-exclusive smartphone that made its debut in September 2020. The handset launched with MIUI 11 based on Android 10.

It was updated to MIUI 12 at the end of last year. Later, it got updated to Android 11 alongside MIUI 12.5 this August.

MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition update is being rolled out to multiple Xiaomi group devices worldwide since August. The latest phones to receive this new software update are POCO X3 GT and Redmi 9 Prime.

Xiaomi is expected to unveil MIUI 13 at the Xiaomi 12 series launch conference later this month. Ahead of that, the company has sped up its delivery of MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition.

POCO X3 GT and Redmi 9 Prime are the newest handsets to get access to the current fresh version of MIUI. 

The update is live for the global variant of the POCO device with build number V12.5.7.0.RKPMIXM. Whereas, the Redmi phone, which is sold in India gets the update with build number V12.5.2.0.RJCINXM.

The original versions of these smartphones called Redmi Note 10 Pro 5G and Redmi 9 have already got the update in China a while back. The remaining regional variants of these handsets should also start receiving the update in the coming days.

As usual, the latest system update for the above-mentioned devices is being pushed out in batches. This means it will take some time to reach every unit. Anyway, all users should get the update.

The Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE (aka Xiaomi 11 Lite NE 5G in India) is the most affordable model in the Mi 11 series of smartphones. The device was initially announced alongside the Xiaomi 11T series in mid-September. Almost three months after its release, the handset has now started receiving MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition update.

The Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE debuted with MIUI 12.5 based on Android 11. The company has now begun to roll out MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition update for this handset.

The latest software update for the device is currently live in India and Turkey with build numbers V12.5.4.0.RKOINXM and V12.5.4.0.RKOTRXM respectively. Like any other OTA system update, this one is also being pushed in batches.

As a result, the fresh software release may take some time to reach certain users, while others may get access to it earlier. At the end of the day, the update should be available for every unit in all the regions in the coming days.

Having said that, the Xiaomi 11 Lite NE 5G is unlike any other Xiaomi smartphone in its price segment. That’s because the company promises 3 Android updates for 4 years of security updates for it.

This means the phone should receive up to Android 14 and will be supported until 2025 with security updates.

Xiaomi is said to unveil MIUI 13 at the Xiaomi 12 series launch event this month at the earliest. However, the company is yet to finish the MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition rollout for some of the eligible devices. Two such phones, namely POCO X3 and POCO X3 Pro have now begun to receive the current latest version of MIUI via a system update.

The POCO X3 is more than a year old. On the other hand, the POCO X3 Pro made its debut earlier this year. But both launched with MIUI 12, albeit with different Android versions. Anyway, both of them now run Android 11 and they even received MIUI 12.5.

Following that, the smartphones have now finally started receiving the MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition update in India with the following build numbers.

• POCO X3 – V12.5.4.0.RJGINXM
• POCO X3 Pro – V12.5.5.0.RJUINXM

Unsurprisingly, the OTA software update is being rolled out in batches. Therefore, some users might receive it earlier, while others will have to wait a bit longer. The update should be also available for other regional variants of the handsets.

The POCO X3 and POCO X3 Pro are strong contenders for MIUI 13 update, given their age and popularity. An alleged eligible list even suggests the same. Anyway, POCO is yet to officially confirm it.

Xiaomi is expected to announce MIUI 13 by the end of 2021. However, the company is yet to update some of its devices to the current latest version of its software – MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition. Some handsets haven’t received MIUI 12.5 either. Two such smartphones, namely Redmi Note 9 Pro and Redmi Note 9 Pro Max have begun to get these versions of MIUI respectively in India.

The Redmi Note 9 Pro and Redmi Note 9 Pro Max are receiving a new system update in India. The former gets access to the latest MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition, while the latter is being updated to almost a year old MIUI 12.5 though it is an expensive model.

The fresh software updates for these phones arrive with the following build numbers in India.

• Redmi Note 9 Pro

  • MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition – V12.5.2.0.RJWINXM

• Redmi Note 9 Pro Max

  • MIUI 12.5 – V12.5.3.0.RJXINXM

Both the MIUI builds listed above are in the Stable Beta phase. In simpler words, they are being rolled out in batches. Therefore, some users might receive them earlier, while others may have to wait a bit longer.

At the end of the day, every user of Redmi Note 9 Pro and Redmi Note 9 Pro Max should receive the latest system update.

The POCO F1 has been no less than a legend for the POCO sub-brand, single-handedly propelling it into success by selling in millions. But even legends like it eventually hit the end of the road with software updates, and it appears that the device will remain stuck on MIUI 12 based on Android 10.

To recall, the POCO F1, also known by the name of Pocophone F1 in some regions, was launched over three years ago in the August of 2018. It first booted into MIUI 9 based on Android Oreo 8.1 and has since gone through several MIUI and Android upgrades. Xiaomi/POCO typically grants two Android and up to four MIUI upgrades, both of which have been met by POCO F1, so the EOL doesn’t come as a surprise.

There had been much speculation earlier about the device with regards to MIUI 12.5, but the device is yet to get even a beta build of the same so it’s best to just forget about it. As for MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition, most had already accepted that the POCO F1 will not be getting it. But new info from Xiaomi Global Community has now confirmed that that indeed is the case, effectively putting all rumors to rest.

The lack of MIUI 12.5 Enhanced for the POCO F1 isn’t the end of the world though. Sure, it does bring along plenty of bug fixes, but it barely offers much over MIUI 12 that the device is currently running. You’d be better off flashing a custom ROM which will help give a new lease of life to your F1.

Xiaomi unveiled MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition at the Xiaomi MIX 4 launch event in August. The company has been rolling it out to eligible devices worldwide since then. Now, three months later, the firm reveals that the latest version of MIUI will not be available for select Redmi smartphones.

According to the Mi Fans Home Telegram channel, Xiaomi has canceled MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition update for the following handsets.

• Redmi Note 7 Pro
• Redmi Note 7S
• Redmi Note 7
• Redmi Y3
• Redmi 7
• Redmi 7A

The same announcement post also says that the fresh version of MIUI will not be seeded out to Mi A3. It’s not surprising as this phone runs stock Android since it is part of the Android One program.

This is not the first time Xiaomi has canceled an update for its devices. Just last year, two handsets in the above list, namely Redmi 7 and Redmi Y3 were said to not receive MIUI 12.

However, the Redmi 7 not only received MIUI 12 but also MIUI 12.5. But unfortunately, the Redmi Y3 got access to neither.

Hence, there’s a chance that some of the phones in the list above might receive the MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition update. Nevertheless, we don’t have any hope.

What are your thoughts on Xiaomi canceling software updates for the above-mentioned best-selling smartphones? Do let us know in the comment section below.

Having said that, Xiaomi is also expected to unveil MIUI 13 before the end of this year. Hence, the company will start seeding out the next iteration of MIUI as soon as it completes delivering the current version.

Despite releasing a month after the announcement of MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edtion, the Xiaomi CIVI does not ship with the latest version of MIUI. Hence, the device is now receiving the fresh software via an OTA system update.

Apart from bringing the new version of MIUI, the latest system update for Xiaomi CIVI also arrives with October 2021 security patches as well as optimizations for gestures, store download, thermals, and camera.

The update comes with build number V12.5.7.0.RKVCNXM and weighs 1.2GB in size.

Xiaomi has been rolling out MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition update for eligible devices since late August. The ‘Global’ variant of the Redmi Note 9 recently got access to this latest version of MIUI. Just a few days later, the Indian version has also started receiving the new build.

Xiaomi has begun to seed MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition update for the Redmi Note 9 in India. The fresh system update for the handset arrives with build number V12.5.2.0.RJOINXM.

Since MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition is all about optimizations rather than features, uses won’t see any visual changes after updating to the latest software. That said, the update additionally also brings along October 2021 security patches.

Like any other OTA system update, this one is also being rolled out in batches. Therefore, the build is currently labeled ‘Stable Beta’, which is Xiaomi’s way of saying limited availability.

Anyway, the update should be available for all users in India in the coming days. At the same time, we also expect the update to reach the remaining regional variants of the Redmi Note 9 as well.

The Redmi Note 9 launched with MIUI 11 based on Android 10. So far, the smartphone has only received a single MIUI and Android update in the form of MIUI 12 and Android 11.

MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition is currently the newest version of Xiaomi’s mobile operating system. The company has been rolling it out to eligible devices worldwide since August. The latest handsets to receive it are Redmi 9 and Redmi Note 9.

The fresh system update arrives with the following build numbers.

• Redmi 9 (Global) – V12.5.3.0.RJCMIXM
• Redmi Note 9 (Global) – V12.5.2.0.RJOMIXM

Apart from bringing certain changes, the latest software update for these two smartphones also bumps up the security patch level to October 2021. Also, the software builds are in the ‘Stable Beta’ phase, which means they are being rolled out in batches.

We expect the update to reach the remaining regional variants of these two phones in the coming days. For those unaware, the Redmi 9 discussed here is known as Redmi 9 Prime in India. At the same time, the Redmi Note 9 mentioned here is called Redmi 10X 4G in China.

Hence, those devices will be also receiving the MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition update very soon.

As always, the OTA software update is being rolled out in batches. Therefore, it will take days to reach every user. At the same time, the update should be also available for other regional variants like Global, EEA, Russia, and Turkey.

The POCO F2 Pro is known as Redmi K30 Pro. This version of the handset got access to MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition in August itself.

Both POCO F2 Pro and Redmi K30 are just one and a half years old. These phones have only received a single major MIUI as well as a sole Android update. Hence, they will likely get Android 12 and MIUI 13 in the near future.

Xiaomi recently launched the Xiaomi 11T series. These devices are yet to receive the MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition. However, the older Mi 10T and Mi 10T Pro have now begun to get the latest version of MIUI in India.

The Xiaomi Mi 10T and the Mi 10T Pro feature near-identical hardware. The only major difference between the two is their camera setup. As a result, the devices run a common MIUI build.

Therefore, they receive new system updates together. The MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition for them in Indi arrives with build number V12.5.3.0.RJDINXM.

The above-mentioned software build is currently in the Stable Beta phase. In simpler words, it is being seeded out in batches. This means it will take some time to reach every user in the country.

This update is also live for the ‘Globa’ and ‘Indonesia’ variants of the Mi 10T and the Mi 10T Pro. It is also available for the Chinese version of these phones called Redmi K30S Ultra. However, multiple regional versions like ‘EEA’, ‘Russia’, ‘Turkey’, and ‘Taiwn’ are yet to get access to the update.

MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition was unveiled at the Xiaomi MIX 4 launch event. It brings improvements to devices running MIUI 12.5. Xiaomi has been rolling it out to eligible products since August.

Last month, Xiaomi revealed that it will start rolling out the MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition update for the Redmi Note series in October. As promised, the company had already begun to seed the update ahead of schedule last week. Today, two more devices, namely Redmi Note 8 and Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G get access to the latest version of MIUI.

Xiaomi has started rolling out MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition update for the Redmi Note 8 and the Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G in China. The new system update for these handsets arrives with the following build numbers.

• Redmi Note 8 – V12.5.2.0.RCOCNXM
• Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G – V12.5.4.0.RJSCNXM

The Remi Note 8 is known by the same name outside mainland China. On the other hand, the Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G is sold as Mi 10i 5G and Mi 10T Lite 5G in some markets.

These international variants of the above-listed smartphones should also get the MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition update. But we cannot tell for sure when these phones will be receiving the update.

Anyway, whenever the latest MIUI hits these devices, it will be rolled out in batches. Even in China, the update is currently under a batched rollout.

Xiaomi quite surprisingly rolled out ‘stable beta’ Android 12 builds just a couple of days ago for pilot testers, becoming the first OEM to deem the fresh OS version anywhere close to stable. This update has now been reported to kill some devices.

As per Xiaomiui and user feedback from relevant communities, the Android 12 update for the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra, Mi 11, and Mi 11i can hard-brick your phone and turn it into a paperweight, at least for the moment. It is unclear if the hard-brick state is easy to recover from.

The updates guilty of the issue carry version numbers 12.5.1.0.SKAMIXM, 12.5.1.0.SKBMIXM, and 12.5.1.0.SKKMIXM for the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra, Mi 11, and Mi 11i respectively. Xiaomiui says that the issue strikes during the installation process.

Now, Xiaomi does warn users to always back up their data due to potential loss of data as part of prerequisites for the Mi Pilot Testers program. But the bricking problem is still surprising considering the builds had been slapped with the ‘Stable MIUI based on Android 12’ label, despite obviously not being anywhere close to stable.

Further, Wang Hua, General Manager of Xiaomi PR, had recently emphasized that Android 12 still needs a lot of work – all the more reason to keep the OS iteration limited to Chinese beta testers for now.

Users looking to try out Android 12 at such an early stage are thus advised to not upgrade to the aforementioned builds and back up their data prior to the installation of any similar future releases.

As for those that are unable to recover from the hard-bricked state, it is recommended to take the affected device to the nearest service center. A brick isn’t the end of the world and can be recovered from, albeit with a likely loss of data.

The Redmi K40 Pro+ was one of the first smartphones to receive the MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition update in China in late August. The headset is sold as Mi 11X Pro in India. Xiaomi has now started seeding the latest version of MIUI to this variant of the phone.

MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition does not bring any new features. Instead, it focuses on optimizations. Xiaomi has been rolling it out to eligible devices worldwide ever since it was announced.

The update arrives for the Mi 11X Pro with build number V12.5.4.0.RKKINXM. In a typical Xiaomi manner,  despite being seeded out in October, the software build comes with September 2021 security patches.

Since the update is being pushed in batches, the build is currently labeled ‘Stable Beta’. Anyway, it should reach every user in the coming days.

On the other hand, the ‘Global’ variant of this smartphone called Mi 11i had already got access to MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition in September. In fact, interested users can also test Android 12 on it by enrolling themselves in the ‘Pilot’ program.

At the same time, the EEA variant of Mi 11i is yet to get the update. Hence, it will be the last variant of the Redmi K40 Pro+ to receive the MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition update.

Xiaomi has been rolling out MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition update for eligible devices for a while now. The latest version of MIUI was announced in August and the flagship Mi 11 Ultra got access to the update in China that month itself. However, the European variant of the smartphone has begun to receive the new version of MIUI only now.

According to AdimorahBlog, Xiaomi has started seeding MIU 12.5 Enhanced Edition update for the EEA variant of Mi 11 Ultra. The latest system update arrives with build number V12.5.10.0.RKAEUXM and September 2021 security patches.

The EEA variant of the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra is only the third regional model of the handset to receive MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition. The other two are ‘China’ and ‘Indonesia’. The former got the update in August, while the latter received it in September.

This means only ‘Global’ and ‘India’ variants of the phone are left to get the new version of MIUI. These two models should also get access to the update soon.

As far as the EEA variant is concerned, Xiaomi has just started seeding the build. Hence, it will take some time to reach every unit due to batched rollout.

At the same time, Xiaomi is also testing Android 12 on Mi 11 Ultra globally along with other smartphones. Interested users can join the program to experience the latest version of Android.

A couple of weeks back, Xiaomi revealed that the Redmi Note series will start receiving the MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition update in October. The company has now begun to roll out this update ahead of schedule. The first devices in the lineup to get access to the latest version of MIUI are Redmi Note 9 5G and Redmi Note 10 5G. At the same time, the update is also available for Mi 10 Youth Edition.

Xiaomi unveiled MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition at the Xiaomi MIX 4 launch event. The new version of MIUI brings improvements for devices running MIUI 12.5.

The fresh version of MIUI is live for the following smartphones in China with these build numbers.

• Xiaomi Mi 10 Youth Edition – V12.5.4.0.RJVCNXM
• Redmi Note 10 5G – V12.5.1.0.RKSCNXM
• Redmi Note 9 5G – V12.5.7.0.RJECNXM

The above-listed software builds are currently labeled as ‘Stable Beta’. In other words, they are only available for a select few users as they are being rolled out in batches.

Having said that, these Redmi Note models are also sold in international markets as Redmi Note 9T 5G and Redmi Note 10 5G / Redmi Note 10T 5G. We expect them to receive the new update in the coming days.

Xiaomi unveiled MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition at the Xiaomi MIX 4 launch event. Within one and a half months, the company has finished the rollout of this software to the first batch of eligible devices in China. Hence, it has now announced its plans for the second batch.

According to the official announcement post on Xiaomi Community China, a total of 7 smartphones are part of the second batch to receive the MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition update. Almost all of these handsets are Redmi Note models, except for one.

MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition Second Batch Devices

• Redmi Note 8
• Redmi Note 9 4G
• Redmi Note 9 5G
• Redmi Note 10 5G
• Xiaomi Mi 10 Youth Edition
• Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G
• Redmi Note 10 Pro 5G

The above-listed phones are scheduled to start receiving ‘Stable Beta’ builds from October 8. If it all goes well, the rollout for all users could happen by the end of next month itself.

Having said that, the firm does say that the update rollout plan may change due to various factors. But at the end of the day, the handsets mentioned above should get the latest version of MIUI sooner or later.

On the other hand, all other smartphone brands are set to release a new version of their mobile software based on Android 12. However, Xiaomi is yet to announce anything regarding it.

MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition is currently the latest version of Xiaomi’s mobile operating system based on Android. The company unveiled it last month and even started rolling it out to the first batch of devices in the next few days. Now, this version of MIUI has reached international markets as well. The first phones to get it are Mi 11X and POCO F3.

The Redmi K40 was one of the first handsets to receive the MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition update in China. Hence, it’s not surprising to learn that the international variants of this smartphone called Mi 11X and POCO F3 are the first to get this update outside mainland China.

The latest software update for Mi 11X arrives with build number V12.5.3.0.RKHINXM. Since this device is exclusive to India, this is the only build available for this handset.

On the other hand, the POCO F3 is sold in multiple markets. Hence, it has many regional MIUI builds. At present, the new MIUI version is live for the ‘Global’ variant of the phone with build number V12.5.3.0.RKHMIXM. It should be available for other regional variants in the coming days.

Having said that, like any other OTA system update, the MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition for Mi 11X and POCO F3 is also being rolled out in batches. Hence, the complete rollout might take some time.

Xiaomi is currently testing new iOS-like widgets for MIUI in China. The testing phase will last until October 20. Hence, the new feature will take months to reach the stable channel. Ahead of that, an alleged list of supported devices has emerged.

According to the official announcement for the new MIUI widget system, smartphones running MIUI beta builds based on Android 11 can be used to enroll in the testing program. However, an alleged compatible list only shows a select few premium and upper mid-range smartphones.

Here’s the alleged list of Xiaomi phones that support new MIUI widgets.

MIUI iOS-like Widgets Supported Devices

• Mi 11 Ultra
• Mi 11 Pro
• Mi 11 Youth Edition
• Mi 10 Pro
• Mi 10
• Mi 10s
• Mi 10 Ultra
• Mi 10 Youth Edition
• Mi CC9 Pro
• Redmi K40 Pro
• Redmi K40
• Redmi k40 Gaming Edition
• Redmi Note 10 Pro 5G
• Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G
• Redmi K30 Pro
• Redmi K30
• Redmi k30 Ultra
• Redmi K30 5G
• Redmi k30i 5G
• Redmi 10X Pro 5G
• Redmi 10X 5G

Interestingly, the list does not include the older Mi 11 as well as the newly launched Mi MIX 4, Mi Pad 5, and Mi Pad 5 Pro. We believe that these three products should also support new widgets. Anyway, as there’s no proper credible source for this list, we would advise you to consider it with a pinch of salt.

Last but not least, since the feature is expected to officially arrive a couple of months later, there’s a chance that it may debut alongside MIUI 13 although it is enabled via system apps like App Vault and MIUI Gallery, and not the operating system itself.

MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition is currently the latest version of Xiaomi’s mobile operating system based on Android. It was unveiled alongside MIUI for Pad last week. A few days back, the tech giant started rolling out this software to the first batch of eligible devices. At the same time, the company had also revealed when the update will reach the entire first batch. We happen to come across this information only today.

According to an official announcement post on Mi Community China, MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition is being rolled out to the first batch of eligible smartphones from August 13. For those unaware, the company mentioned the same date at the launch conference.

We know that as of Saturday (August 14), the update is being gradually pushed to 6 of the 12 phones in the first batch. Now, as per the Mi Community post, which was also published on the same day, all the devices in this batch will receive the update by August 27.

In simpler words, the entire first batch (12 models) of eligible devices for MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition will get the update by August 27. However, it is worth noting that this timeline is only meant for the handsets running MIUI China ROM.

Xiaomi is yet to unveil MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition for global markets. Hence, it’s not known when the international variants of eligible phones will be blessed with the latest version of MIUI.

Earlier this week, Xiaomi unveiled MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition at the Mi MIX 4 launch event. The first batch of eligible devices was supposed to start receiving the update from August 13. As promised, the company has begun to roll out the latest version of MIUI for a select few smartphones.

MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition is all about optimizations. Hence, it does not bring any features. However, it is worth noting that Xiaomi is separately testing iOS-like widgets.

According to the official announcement, a total of 12 premium Mi and Redmi-branded smartphones are part of the first batch of eligible devices for the new software. Out of these, as of writing this article, the update is available (1, 2, 3) for 6 of them

These handsets are Mi MIX 4, Mi 10 Pro, Mi 10S, Redmi K40, Redmi K30 Pro, and Redmi K30S Ultra. Unsurprisingly, the update is only live for the Chinese variant of these smartphones.

Since Xiaomi is yet to announce MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition for global markets, the international versions of these phones should be receiving this update only after that.

Having said that, Xiaomi has also started testing Android 12-based MIUI builds for some of its handsets. Also, the company has confirmed to release MIUI 13 by the end of 2021.

At the Mi MIX 4 launch event, Xiaomi also unveiled MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition. During the conference, the company said that the new version of MIUI does not bring any features and it only focuses on optimizations. Turns out that the company has silently introduced a new iOS-like widget system.

Xiaomi is testing a new iOS-inspired widget system in China. As per Xiaomiui (1, 2, 3), the new feature is enabled via the latest beta version of App Vault (V5.0.56) and MIUI Gallery (V2.2.21). At present, these versions of the applications can be only installed on devices with MIUI beta build based on Android 11.

This means although the feature appears to be part of MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition, it can be also experienced by users with devices running the regular MIUI 12.5 beta software as well. However, they will have to sign up for the testing program for which the registrations end on August 27.

According to the official announcement, users can now place widgets with sizes 2×2, 4×2, 4×4, and 2×3 on the home screen. A new ‘Widget Store’ has been added through which users can drag and drop widgets of their choice anywhere on the screen. The smartphone maker has also introduced new system app widgets to make use of the new feature.

As per Xiaomi, the new MIUI widget system will be under testing from August 17 to October 20. This suggests that users on the stable MIUI channel, especially in international markets, will have to wait for months to experience the new feature.

On the bright side, it’s good to know that widgets are making a comeback after Apple introduced them in iOS 14. Even Google has revamped the core Android widget system with Android 12.

At the Mi MIX 4 launch event, Xiaomi not only announced a bunch of hardware but also software. The company unveiled MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition and MIUI for Pad. Let’s take a look at what they have to offer.

MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition

As the name suggests, MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition brings improvements for MIUI 12.5, which itself is a polished version of MIUI 12. In fact, Xiaomi is yet to deliver MIUI 12.5 to eligible devices worldwide but we already have a newer version of the software.

Xiaomi says that MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition comes with fixes for 160 system header problems and 224 system application problems. The latest version of MIUI also brings all-around optimizations for the bottom framework to the top-most application layer.

According to the company, the new version of its mobile operating system is a result of progress achieved by the engineers in optimizing the MIUI system in the last six months. This means the MIUI Pioneer Group might not have played a key role in the development as it was established recently.

In a nutshell, MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition does not introduce new features. Instead, it comes with four optimizations, namely Liquid Storage, Atomic Memory, Focus Calculation, and Intelligent Balance.

• Liquid Storage

  • A self-developed solution for optimizing storage mechanism. Helps in retaining read and write performance over a long period of time.

• Atomic Memory

  • A self-developed solution for optimizing memory management mechanism. Improves the performance of holding applications in memory.

• Focus Calculation

  • A self-developed solution for optimizing processor scheduling. Helps is reducing CPU usage and power consumption.

• Intelligent Balance

  • This solution intelligently allocates hardware performance as well as power consumption, and seeks a balance between the two.

MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition stable update will be rolled out to the first batch of the following 12 devices from August 13 in China.

• Mi MIX 4
• Mi 11 Ultra
• Mi 11 Pro
• Mi 11
• Mi 10 Ultra
• Mi 10 Pro
• Mi 10S
• Mi 10
• Redmi K40
• Redmi K40 Pro
• Redmi K30S Ultra
• Redmi K30 Pro

Xiaomi says that a detailed rollout plan for all the eligible devices will be shared shortly on Mi Community. Unfortunately, it’s not known whether this version of  MIUI will make its way to global markets at the moment.

MIUI for Pad

Xiaomi launched Mi Pad 5 and Mi Pad 5 Pro alongside the Mi MIX 4. These are the company’s first-ever tablets in the last three years. Apart from bringing high-end hardware for affordable price tags, they also debut a new version of MIUI called MIUI for Pad.

MIUI for Pad is basically a redesigned MIUI 12.5 for tablets. It is a known fact that many Android applications don’t support full screen yet. However, Xiaomi claims that its version of Android offers a full-screen app experience along with split-screen mode.

However, it is worth noting that the company also mentions that only 300+ mainstream applications are well-optimized for MIUI for Pad. Hence, it has set a target to adapt 2000 applications by the end of this year.

Xiaomi requests app developers to join the Xiaomi Open Platform to improve the state of the Android tablet app ecosystem. Since multiple smartphone OEMs are expected to release Android tablets in the coming months, we might finally see an improvement in this regard.

Last but not least, the company did not reveal anything about the new Mi Security app for tablets, which it teased recently.
