        Let's hope that will mean significant improvements for MIUI 13, they are on a good track but even more refinements would be great.

              PLEASE! I have used Redmi Note 8 Pro and currently using Redmi Note 9s and I swear it just feels so heavy despite Xiaomi saying that the UI has been optimized. A budget phone from realme even feels smoother than these phones, sometimes.

                About time. MemeUI needs an overhaul. It is most obese UI of all, got fat by consuming junks over the year with apparently a constipated belly that the fanbois( literally 14 yo mobile gamers, who donot care about any other things in their smartphones) think to be useful but honestly its all crap by todays standards. Your hardware is nothing but bullcrap if the software experience gives migrain.

                  I've had trouble with notification sounds not working in Redmi Note 5 AI Dual Camera. Notification sounds for chats and messages from Whatsapp, LINE, Telegram, and whatnot, including Messages app, don't work. So if there's a chat coming in, the phone doesn't emit any sound. This is despite I have configured all notification settings, including for sound, have turned off MIUI optimization, have set the apps as start from running. Still nothing. Though, thankfully, the phone still rings when a call is incoming.

                  I have searched for solutions across the internet, and while there are many people who have the same problem like me, only few solutions are offered, and they have been tried and yet they still don't work. It's just jarring that a phone doesn't deliver perfectly in a basic function: communication.

                  Considering that call rings work and media sounds are fine, I suspect it's a MIUI bug, not hardware.

                  Nowadays it's one of my reservation for buying any Xiaomi phone again. I could manage by the notification LED, and checking the phone some every now and then. But I replaced it with A52 some months ago, and notification works wonderfully as it should.

                  Not sure if I would buy Xiaomi phones again. Yes, it's undeniable that Xiaomi offers the best and virtually unbeatable hardware-to-value (e.g. SD 860 at $300), but its software rather disappoints. Yes, some folks might say, "if you dislike MIUI just unlock the bootloader and install custom ROM," but I think it's quite an inconvenience that shouldn't arise in the first place. It should be good to go when from the get-go, shouldn't there be any need to tinker around first. Not everyone are willing to undergo the steps of UB and installing custom ROM, especially if it's a daily driver.

                  That said, I hope they can do better and improve things, if they want to up their game more. Great hardware should come with great software too.

                    Anonymous, 17 Jun 2021I wouldn't say as hell. As the budget, midrange and up... moreAnd why would I get an inferior flagship in the S21 Ultra when a better mi 11 Ultra is already available. I don't know what bugs you are talking about. Have you even used the phone?
                    Have you used an Mi flagship from 2021? Plz dont base your experience of Mi flagship based on some budget flagship you bought 3-4 years back.
                    I have been a Samsung user exclusively for all my life. I bought the S21 Ultra, wasn't happy with it, didn't feel worth the 1250 Euros, returned it and bought the MI 11 Ultra after it launched, no regrets, only bugs that exist on miui 12.5 are the ones in your head.

                            But you do the same thing on every article that isn't pro Xiaomi (Samsung, Sony, Apple, Realme, you name it).
                            Truth hurts but, grow up and learn to respect other people's opinion.

                                  Recently MIUI Chinese version had blocked Google. Xiaomi should understand thousands of users use Xiaomi outside China and we are foreigners. I had to change MIUI Chinese to Global to be able to use my existing phone after updating MIUI 12.5.1. This is a nonsense decision by Xiaomi. You may such changes with new handsets, but not with the existing users.
                                  Do some consumer study as well before take such decision please.

                                    i have used MIUI since the mi 3 flagship phone back in....god knows how long that was. While I have enjoyed the extra features that MIUI had always offered, these later past few releases have all been intrusive to personal privacy. Ads (cleverly disguised as Suggestions) were scattered all over the OS and built-in apps. Even on the EU version, these Ads (Suggestions) were not easily removed. The toggle to disable them are scattered all over the place, and seemingly hidden inconsistently within layers of menu/settings on each individual app. This raised a big alarm to me personally, because it means MIUI is now trying very hard to mine user data and intrude on our privacy. Some built-in apps straight-up refuse to run if we do not agree to enable data collection (yes, I read the user Agreements). For tech savvy people, we will always try to disable as much of these Ads/Suggestions as possible before starting to use a xiaomi phone, but what about our loved ones? our parents? our granparents? They are not savvy and will usually fall prey to xiaomi/MIUI's data mining. This is why I would NEVER recommend/buy a xiaomi phone to anyone besides myself in the family, because I know they are regular users and will be too confused to do anything about MIUI's data mining.

                                        Miui 12.5 is the single greatest update in decade long history of MIUI.
                                        It's turned it into the best ui on the planet right now considering the fact that oxygen OS is morphing into color OS.
