Keep reading ahead to find out more.
MIUI 12.5 New Features
First of all, design-wise, MIUI 12.5 is lighter and faster than its previous versions. The operating system (OS) utilises 25% less power, resulting in longer battery life. Xiaomi also said that the number of system apps which can’t be uninstalled has been reduced to 9.
The computing power of MIUI 12.5 has been increased by 20 times than the rendering engine before. There are a set of new Super Wallpapers. These wallpapers are of Earth and Mars. They are also live wallpapers, so with time, they will keep changing their shade from day to night. Xiaomi has said that more new wallpapers will arrive for the MIUI in the first half of 2021.
The MIUI 12.5 comes with new notification sounds. These sounds are inspired by animals living in four habitats of the world: Australia, South America, the Arctic Circle, and East African Grassland. The system sounds are also inspired by natural elements such as water, sand, and wood. The haptics of the MIUI 12.5 has also been improved.
