The Mi 11 series was not the only major announcement Xiaomi had in an event on Monday. The tech company has officially unveiled the MIUI 12.5 update and later revealed an overview of its release schedules for next year.
MIUI 12.5 release date and beta schedules to remember
Xiaomi fans have been looking forward to the company’s user interface update for some time now. But it seemed fitting for the company to wait until the announcement of Mi 11 before unveiling the MIUI 12.5 as well. The new features, as well as security and privacy upgrades, were presented in the event last Dec. 28 in China. But it will take a while before people get to experience the update on devices made by Xiaomi and its sub-brands.
A schedule overview was released shortly after the unveiling of MIUI 12.5. Xiaomi fans will have to wait until April 2021 for the first rollout of the update’s stable release on Mi 11, Mi 10 Ultra, Mi 10 Pro, and Mi 10. The update will also be available on a number of POCO and Redmi devices, but a schedule for them has not been announced yet.
Those who are eager to see the new features and changes in MIUI 12.5 and do not mind installing its unfinished version can join the public beta testing that starts in “mid to late January 2021.” Meanwhile, the closed beta program has already commenced on 21 Mi and Redmi devices, while seven more smartphones will be added to the list next month.
MIUI 12.5 new features: What to expect
Before MIUI 12.5 was announced, most of the reports and speculations were anticipating Xiaomi would announce the MIUI 13. The name seems to be a fit for the upcoming update. While it promises to deliver new features, they appear to be more like an improvement or expansion of what is available in the MIUI 12.
Aside from the updates, new wallpapers, new sounds, improved haptics, and native app improvements, Xiaomi promised that installing MIUI 12.5 would lead to significant optimization. It is expected to reduce memory usage by 20%. Xiaomi added that the update is designed to lessen the memory used in system operations by 32%, which then brings down power consumption by 17%.
