When MIUI 12 was presented, we were struck by the large number of terminals that would receive the update. It is a fact that Xiaomi has what is possibly the largest portfolio in the industry, but it is good news that veteran mobiles and still in the hands of many users , continue to receive software support. This is the case of the Redmi Note 5, Redmi Note 5 Pro and Redmi Note 6 Pro, which have just received their own portion of MIUI 12.
All these terminals are going to end their days with Android 9 Pie, but at least they will do so with some of the news of the MIUI 12 layer. Let’s remember that MIUI 12 came in different versions, with its functions more or less available depending on the device. MIUI 12 coexists with Android 9, 10 and 11, so there are light years between the options of some terminals and others , for example, in the availability of Super Wallpapers.
MIUI 12 in stable beta phase
After the update last month of the Redmi 7, 7S and Mi 10 Pro, the firm has now begun to launch MIUI 12, but based on Android 9 Pie, in the Redmi Note 5 and Redmi Note 6 Pro series. These terminals were launched to the market in 2018, as mid-range devices, with some success in some markets and which can now be kept fresh for longer.
The update for the Redmi Note 5 Pro has the build number V12.0.2.0.PEIMIXM and has a weight of 2 gigs , usual when it comes to a version change of MIUI. For its part, the Redmi 6 Pro, arrives with the build number V12.0.1.0.PEKMIXM and also has a weight of 2 gigs. Keep in mind that we are talking about the stable beta version in both cases, that is, the step prior to its stable global launch, as long as no problems arise along the way. It is important to remember the need for at least 30% battery and sufficient disk space before proceeding with the update.
What new features include
Although these veteran devices will not have all the functions of other versions of MIUI 12, the truth is that they add many new features. The system has been optimized with new gestures, animations and control center. The Dark Mode is also optimized in both terminals, with color brightness correction and in the wallpapers, when this mode is activated. The user will also notice a slight overall fluidity in the performance of the device, with some improvements in power management.
