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.
