Xiaomi MIUI 12.5: Eligible Mi, Redmi, POCO phones, Features and Release Date

The MIUI! Also known as a heavily modified software skin based on Google’s Android operating system and developed by Chinese phone maker Xiaomi. Starting with the Android 2.1-based MIUI 1 to the latest Android 10/11-based MIUI 12, Xiaomi made countless remarkable and iconic changes in its custom software system.

If you don’t know, the first version of MIUI was released over a decade ago. The Chinese tech giant continuously introduced new iterations of MIUI following the new generations of Google’s mobile operating system. Although Xiaomi became a global smartphone vendor it installs the full-fledged version of MIUI only in the Chinese variants.

Discussion on the development of the MIUI is a talk of another day as here we are talking about the very new and surprising generation of MIUI, got it? Yes, I’m talking about the “MIUI 12.5”, an unexpected version of MIUI that came to light late last year alongside the launch of the Mi 11 flagship in China.

MIUI 12.5 Features

With its MIUI, Xiaomi one-sided wins the race among all the OEMs when it comes to incredible feature offerings. Although the MIUI 12 already has multiple iconic features, the 12.5 version of the MIUI comes with countless new and user-friendly features with the most up-to-date UX.

  • Power Menu

Starting with the boot screen, the latest MIUI 12.5 highlights a redesigned power menu, which lets users Power or and Reboot by swiping up or down.

  • Launcher Animations

By acknowledging the feedback of Mi fans, Xiaomi made significant improvements in the MIUI Launcher’s animations for the Home Screen. The company notably enhanced the animation while using a folder or extracting the app.

  • System Volume Controller

The volume controller is a feature that has used by smartphone owners multiple times in a single day. In order to offer an improved user experience, Xiaomi made the volume controller function more attractive compared to the boring volume controller UI of MIUI 12.

  • Notification Center

Following Android 11, Xiaomi’s MIUI 12.5 comes with an improved notification panel, which shows notifications more prominent than the current MIUI 12 and organized as per the user’s activities.

  • MIUI 9-like Recent Apps

With the 10th generation of MIUI, Xiaomi switched the horizontal placements of the recent apps to vertical, which shows around 4 apps on a single screen. While the MIUI 12.5 brings both MIUI 9-inspired horizontal and vertical arrangements for the recent apps.

  • Attractive Camera Interface

As MIUI 12.5 comes with several changes in the system UI, Xiaomi has not forgotten to modify the stock Camera’s appearance. We can see several remarkable novelties in the Camera application alongside attractive features layout.
