Google announced the operating system Android 12 last May with several performance improvements, privacy and, above all, major visual changes with the introduction of “Material You”. Now the Xiaomi starts testing this version on your smartphones.
More specifically, it does so with the latest testing version of its MIUI 12.5 21.9.17 interface, an internal testing version. It is the latest update to be available for smartphones in the Xiaomi Mi 11 range, albeit with limited distribution.
The latest update for the Xiaomi Mi 11 range of smartphones
The update is now being distributed to a handful of Xiaomi smartphones. More specifically, we can indicate the Xiaomi Mi 11, Mi 11 Pro, and Mi 11 Ultra models that receive the version MIUI 12.5 21.9.17 setting up an internal beta.
This means that the testing phase is not available to anyone interested, but only to users enrolled in Xiaomi’s testing program. Likewise, it is important to note that the distribution of news is done gradually and in phases.
Furthermore, we can indicate that the size of the software package – update size – is 3.9 GB, this being a general system update. Therefore, we advise you to download it via a Wi-Fi Internet connection.
It’s the first test with Android 12 through MIUI 12.5
This is not the general public update. It is, yes, a first window of opportunity for interested parties to test the new features of Android 12 already adapted by MIUI 12.5. It is important to note, however, that only users enrolled in Xiaomi’s beta program will be able to download the new package of novelties now.
According to the official list of changes, the changelog, this is one of the biggest updates in recent years. As it is also a beta version, anyone interested must first make a backup copy of their personal data.
What’s more, the Android 12 update takes several minutes to install, as well as booting on the aforementioned Xiaomi smartphones. Initially, some problems of power consumption and build instability are also mentioned.
Finally, third-party applications don’t support Google’s Android 12 yet. This means that, apart from Xiaomi’s apps, few others can be used on a smartphone that already has this version of the operating system installed.
Privacy, performance and design are among the new on Android 12
According to Google, the entire Android 12 system will deliver better performance on smartphones where it is present. The tech claims that this OS will reduce the CPU requirement and time required on system resources by up to 22%. Furthermore, the use of the larger cores of a processor will be less used, in the order of 15% according to Google.
In short, we have the promise of more fluid performance, as well as less use of system resources. Added to this is a major visual transformation in the form of Material You, summarized in the video above.
Finally, we have several security and privacy improvements, as well as new productivity features for smartphones that use Android 12. Now, however, we can only wait for the completion of tests (beta) and the beginning of the distribution of the global versions. and stable.
Xiaomi is now taking an important step towards testing and preparing the next major system update to address not only MIUI 12.5 but also MIUI 13.
