Last week, Xiaomi announced the latest version of its Android-based software for its Mi and Redmi smartphones: MIUI 12. The update adds a lot of useful features as we noted in our practice. Xiaomi has started rolling out closed beta versions of MIUI 12 for a handful of devices in China, but now there is a better way to test the latest software features thanks to the Xiaomi.EU team.
Xiaomi’s MIUI China software versions are not intended for use by global users. MIUI China only has Mandarin and English as languages, it lacks Google apps and it comes with a bunch of Chinese services that are of no use outside the country. The Xiaomi.EU team takes MIUI China and translates the strings into more languages, adds Google apps, and removes various Chinese services so that global users can enjoy the cutting-edge MIUI features. Furthermore, Xiaomi.EU also unlocks a bunch of features that Xiaomi restricts to certain device models or that are hidden in MIUI. Its latest release is based on beta versions of China’s MIUI 12 and is available on more than 2 dozen Mi and Redmi smartphones.
