Previously, Xiaomi had confirmed the release of the MIUI 12.5 software. And now it is time to release data for the software.
As per a report published in GizmoChina, the stable version of MIUI 12.5 will arrive as soon as Late February of 2021 in China. This information, according to the publication, was first shared on Telegram by Xiaomi. The post also mentions that there are no plans for Closed Beta at least till 2020 ends.
As per the available information, MIUI 12.5 will be a moderate upgrade from the MIUI 12 launched in April 2020. This will also be in line with what we’ve seen in the past, where mid advancements such as MIUI 11.5, 10.5, and 9.5 haven’t brought with themselves any significant changes. These updates act more like placeholders, with Xiaomi keeping things simple and ensuring a smooth transition between two major updates.
While we can expect Xiaomi to save most of the major features for its MIUI 13 update, which is scheduled to release later this year, we can expect the MIUI 12.5 update to bring a few new features, tweaks, and UI improvements. Some features and UI changes scheduled to come to the latest software are PDF converter in the Gallery app, revamped UI in individual sections, and more to be added with the new skin.
Xiaomi has also said that the MIUI 12.5 update will offer stability and optimization improvements to phones ahead of the MIUI 13 update. While several phones will get this update, a few devices that are likely to get it are Redmi Note 8 Pro, Redmi Note 9, Redmi Note 9S, Redmi Note 9 Pro, Redmi Note 9 Pro Max, Redmi K20, and Redmi K20 Pro.
For now, there’s no more information about the update.
