MIUI 12.5 beta builds to soon get suspended likely in prep for MIUI 13

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.
Due to the major version upgrade of Android, Redmi K30 5G, Redmi K30i 5G, Mi 10 Youth Edition, Redmi Note 9 Pro, Redmi Note11 Pro, Redmi Note11 Pro+ will be temporarily suspended from December 13, 2021.

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.

MIUI 13 to bring a lot of changes, closed beta to start at end of year

Zohaib Ahmed — Mon, 18 Oct 2021 07:53:36 +0000

A reliable leakster has revealed that Xiaomi‘s MIUI 13 has “changed a lot” thanks to several UI updates and that its first closed beta will be going live at the end of the year.

For a brief history, MIUI 12 was released in April last year and brought a few meaningful changes over MIUI 11. But the following upgrades, namely MIUI 12.5 and MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition, focused more on optimization than anything else, although we are yet to consider MIUI anything close to being bug-free.

It is still undeniable that MIUI has barely gotten many system-wide changes since MIUI 11. Thus, if the post by Digital Chat Station that says that MIUI will be bringing “new UX” for “many system interfaces” lives up to its implication, then perhaps MIUI 13 will finally come with a long-awaited visual overhaul.

Other than that, the leakster revealed that MIUI 13 still has both Android 11 and Android 12 as its “bottom layers.” This likely means that the system has not been fully adapted to Android 12 and is a work in progress.

And finally, the first instances of MIUI 13 closed beta are expected to pop up at the end of the year, as per the post. This further confirms Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun’s statement from August that had already set an end-of-year release date for MIUI 13.

Based on this information, it is safe to assume that MIUI stable will only be hitting global devices next year.

Not much is known about the next iteration of MIUI but we did earlier have alleged screenshots of the update. It is expected to bring at least new icons and widgets. There is no sign of any Material You based theming as seen on One UI 4.0 and ColorOS 12 yet.

MIUI 13 is also said to be bringing along unique changes to Redmi devices to help its software stand out from vanilla MIUI. Poco has already gone down this road and it’s great to see Redmi following in its footsteps.
