MIUI 12.5 Performance Upgrades

Upgraded Light Cone Motion Architecture

Starting with the new features, the light cone motion architecture was first introduced in MIUI 12.

Pre-Installed Apps Can Now Be Deleted

Replacing Default Note App With Mi Notes App

In general, and although there is already a lot of knowledge about the MIUI 12.5 new features, there are two specific features that were not talked about much, and one of them is the Mi Notes App. Being the formerly called Note App, this application MIUI default was replaced by a newer and smarter version, which has new features like Indented lists with the ability to collapse, the ability to then create brain maps out of these lists with one click, and the ability to draw and doodle.

Introducing MIUI+ | A Way To Connect To PC

Just as happened with the Mi Notes App, there is not much knowledge about the precise features that the recently introduced MIUI+ will be able to offer users, but what is true is that it will be a way to easily integrate the functions of any Android phone with any Windows PC.

MIUI 12.5 New Privacy Features

Clipboard privacy protection

You may not know that more than 400,000 apps have clipboard reading behavior, and the sensitivity of personal information temporarily stored on the clipboard may exceed your imagination. This new “Clipboard privacy protection” feature will be able to let the user know which applications are capable of accessing the clipboard information, thus creating a security barrier for personal information.

Integrated fuzzy positioning

Positioning accuracy is generally 2 to 3 meters, but many services do not require such precise location information. MIUI 12.5 adds a new built-in fuzzy positioning function based on differential privacy technology, giving you back the right to choose, maximizing your privacy.

The first Android system to fully enable the sandbox mechanism

You may not be aware that when you allow an application to read and write photos and files on your device, you are actually allowing the application to read all of your phone’s storage space. MIUI 12.5 enables the sandbox mechanism to isolate photo albums and sensitive private information independently, so applications must request this access additionally.

More powerful web privacy protection capabilities

Not only are applications capable of obtaining private information from the user, but 53% of the top 1,000 web pages will also obtain their personal information. Because of that, MIUI 12.5 browser updates privacy protection capabilities, web behavior logs, and small actions that light up web pages, automatically intercepting web pages to obtain confidential information and block malicious web page downloads.
