If everything is excellent, then a wider rollout needs to follow in the coming weeks. Obviously, if you have a Mi 9 bought from Europe, you can always keep inspecting by hand, perhaps youll be amongst the lucky ones.

Xiaomi is moving on ahead with its updates to MIUI 12.5, and the latest phone to be enhanced with this version of the skin is the Mi 9 in Europe. Its really a double event for Mi 9 owners, due to the fact that not just is the phone getting MIUI 12.5, but the underlying Android version has changed too, jumping from Android 10 to Android 11.

The changelog itself is basically the very same as for every single other MIUI 12.5 rollout, discussing “20 times more rendering power” for the system, “custom-made gadget design adjustments” that must result in any phone becoming quicker, and things such as “MIUI became lighter, quicker, and more resilient”, whatever that indicates. Youre also getting the June 2021 security patch level although its probably going to be August by the time all Mi 9 systems install this update – but thats just the sorry state of security updates in MIUI-land.

The new build is identified MIUI V12.5.1.0. RFAEUXM, and as we mentioned currently (which “EU” in the name makes clear), this one is heading out to Mi 9 systems that were offered in European markets. As you can see from the changelog screenshots above, the construct is labeled “Stable”, however this does not always imply that all Mi 9 units in the wild are getting it now, for Xiaomi likes to have a really little rollout at first, ensuring there are no show-stopping bugs stepping in.

Its a huge one, then, both figuratively and actually – the download is 2.4 GB, so if youre on a capped information plan ensure you use Wi-Fi to get it.

Finally, the Notes app is getting a huge upgrade in MIUI 12.5, with support for vibrant layouts, mind maps with complicated structures, brand-new tools for sketching and doodling, a new gesture faster way, and assistance for excerpts.
