Xiaomi has kickstarted MIUI 12.5 India stable ROM recruitment and has announced the list of supported devices for the same. The MIUI 12.5 was first unveiled back in December 2020 and made its global debut in February along with the Xiaomi Mi 11.
The MIUI 12.5 is an incremental update over the MIUI 12 update and is based on Android 11. With MIUI 12.5 the company has added more privacy-centric features, app optimizations, notification enhancements and more. Since the Mi Community app and website is banned in India, the company has shared the details through a survey. Here is the list of Redmi, Mi, and Poco devices that will get the MIUI 12.5 in India:
Redmi phones:
- Redmi K20/K20 Pro
- Redmi Note 10 Pro/10 Pro Max
- Redmi Note 9/9 Pro/9 Pro Max
- Redmi 9 Prime/9 Power
- Redmi 9/9A
- Redmi Note 8/8 Pro
- Redmi 8/8A/8A Dual
Mi phones:
- Mi 10
- Mi 10T/10T Pro
- Mi 10i
Poco phones:
- Poco F2 Pro
- Poco X2
- Poco M2/M2 Pro
- Poco X3
- Poco C3
- Poco M3
These are the list of phones that are listed in the survey. However, there are quite a few additions and also some phones are not present on the list. For instance, the Redmi Note 10 is missing from the list while Poco F2 Pro, which was not launched in India is on the list. So, we can expect the number of devices in the list to be slightly altered. Xiaomi India might add more devices later on, but for now, if you own any of the abovementioned phones, you can head to this page and apply it by providing relevant data.
Currently, we do not have the exact release date for MIUI 12.5 in India, but we expect that to happen in the quarter itself. MIUI 12.5 brings more super wallpapers, additional privacy and security features, natural notification sounds, better memory management, and MIUI+, a feature that offers seamless connectivity between MIUI 12.5 device and Windows 10 PC.
The MIUI 12.5 will also allow users to uninstall some of the pre-installed apps which was not possible until now.
