Xiaomi released the MIUI 12.5 build for the Xiaomi Mi 11X Pro recently and in this post, we will guide you through the steps to install that on your phone. MIUI developers have been busy providing the latest builds for more smartphones.
This new MIUI 12.5 build focuses on security and overall user experience. There are some notable changes compared to MIUI 12 which are much more enjoyable on Xiaomi flagships just like the Mi 11X Pro. But visually this new MIUI build is very similar to MIUI 12. With MIUI 12.5, Xiaomi gives the option to users to cut down on preinstalled apps. This update provides a bit more polished experience overall when compared to the current MIUI build.
In this guide, we will show you the steps to download and install this latest update on the Xiaomi Mi 11X Pro. But before getting started with the guide, let us explore the device first. Mi 11X Pro gets a large 6.67-inch E4 spec AMOLED panel from Samsung with a peak brightness of more than 1100 nits and a rather small 2.4mm punch-hole that houses the selfie camera. The phone also gets support for a 120Hz refresh rate and is powered by the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 Soc. The phone is available in multiple storage options with up to 8GB RAM and 256GB storage.
On the optics front, the phone has a triple-rear camera module with the flagship Samsung-made 108-megapixel shooter, assisted with an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 5-megapixel macro sensor. On the front there is a 20-megapixel selfie shooter, that is housed in a punch-hole cutout. All this is juiced by a rather moderate 4,520mAh battery which comes with support for up to 33W fast charging.
