What Is MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Update?

As the name suggests, MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Update is an improved version of the MIUI 12.5. This version offers better control over system and third-party apps, where, users will be able to uninstall or disable most of the first-party apps.

This is a great deal, especially for older phones, as deleting some of the pre-installed apps will free up the storage, and it will also reduce resource consumption. This will make the smartphone feel a bit smoother. This will also limit the number of push notifications that one might receive from the pre-built apps and services.

If these devices won’t receive MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Update, then these might not receive the upcoming MIUI 13 update too.
