The launch of MIUI 12 was a major event for Xiaomi, Redmi, and Poco device owners. The new skin was released last year. Though the company is sending an upgrade over the skin, MIUI 12.5, it is still inculcating the previous version to some devices. The rollout started with Xiaomi Mi 9 and has now reached the Redmi 9T.

The MIUI version is based on Android 11 as mentioned in the changelog. Apart from this, the update log does not mention any other introduction regarding the security patch. But, this skin itself carries a bundle of features, some of them are listed below.
