MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Update

Did you think that the latest version of Xiaomi’s system overlay that would take the market by storm would be called the “lucky thirteen”? Nothing could be further from the truth! Just when you’re eagerly waiting for the upcoming launch of the MIUI 13 update, Xiaomi surprises everyone by releasing MIUI 12.5 Enhanced. One thing is certain — no one expected such a move right before the global debut of the already famous and long-awaited “13”. Especially considering that MIUI 12 has been present on the global market for over a year and a half, which only fuels the appetite for something new.

What lies behind the proud name MIUI 12.5 Enhanced, and what improvements does this upgraded system overlay bring? These and many other questions will be answered in this article.

What does the latest MIUI 12.5 Enhanced update bring?

Will the most important improvement, known as “liquid storage,” keep your smartphone’s system in great shape for a long time? Yes! It’s all thanks to the new storage management mechanisms, which ensure your device won’t suffer from performance drops even after months of use. The so-called liquid memory introduced in MIUI 12.5 Enhanced protects the system from slowdowns, keeping performance at a highly satisfying level.

Another feature, called “atomized memory,” focuses on efficient RAM management — one of the key parameters of any smartphone. It introduces an even more precise organization of this memory, maximizing its potential. From now on, thanks to MIUI 12.5 Enhanced, operations such as closing unnecessary background tasks will become a permanent part of your phone’s behavior.

The final improvement introduced in MIUI 12.5 Enhanced is called “focused algorithms.” While the name may sound complex, it brings a lot of benefits. These algorithms are based on so-called “usage scenarios.” They allocate system resources in a way that ensures smooth operation of your device. Processes are prioritized according to the scenario, which results not only in lower CPU usage but also in reduced power consumption in the long run.
