Earlier this week, at the Mi MIX 4 launch event, Xiaomi announced the MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition. The update has started rolling out to the first batch of eligible devices since yesterday, August 13. As promised, the company has begun to roll out the latest version of MIUI for a select few smartphones.
The MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition update 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
- 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.
