The MIUI 12.5 is Xiaomi’s latest system for its smartphone. This update is presently available for a couple of models. A few days ago, the Redmi K30 5G started receiving this update. Now, there are reports that this update is available for the Xiaomi Mi 9. According to netizens’ feedback, the update weighs 2.6GB. This update is much heavier on the Mi 9 than on the Redmi K30 5G (less than 1GB). This means that it probably solves other issues on the Xiaomi Mi 9.
According to Xiaomi, MIUI 12.5 brings a new light cone motion effect architecture with a more immersive translucent motion blur, new super wallpapers, new notification system sounds, more delicate vibration touch, and “One more thing” MIUI+ collaboration function. Xiaomi released the latest generation of the MIUI 12.5 system in December last year. The company also claims that this upgrade is no less than a major version update. In terms of fluency, the company also claims that the system memory usage drops by an average of 35%. Furthermore, the power consumption also reduces by 25%.
