The Xiaomi Mi 11 has not only been the starting gun of the first Android smartphone with Snapdragon 888. In addition, it has allowed the Chinese company to present all the news of MIUI 12.5, a layer that expands many of the improvements seen in MIUI 12. One One of the most spectacular are the Super Wallpapers, which have also arrived renewed in this version since they were released in MIUI 12.
Wallpapers have changed a lot over time and are now more alive than ever. However, an animated wallpaper, or one that offers information in real time, consumes much more energy than the static wallpapers that we have known for years.
Spectacular backgrounds, but not for everyone
The MIUI 12 Super Wallpapers, arrived with images of Mars or Saturn, which seem to come to life when the user unlocks the screen or switches between screens. However, in MIUI 12.5, the firm has given another twist to the idea. Now, for example, the Snow Mountain wallpaper is added, which shows an animation that moves away from the top when the device is unlocked.
In these new live wallpapers , elements such as the sky and the landscape in the wallpaper change color depending on the time of day, and it also features some subtle animations that are activated when we switch from one screen to another on the desktop.
The bad news is that these Super Wallpapers are not for all users. Only a handful of high-end devices from Xiaomi will be able to own them. The explanation that Xiaomi has offered is that a few technical attributes are required, such as the screen, the processor to be able to move the funds freely, or efficient energy management. This combination can only occur in those terminals with more than enough performance and higher technical features.
