Xiaomi might be about to start the third phase of the MIUI 12.5 rollout, but they aren’t done with MIUI 12 just yet. That’s surprising, right? Especially when you realize it has been over six months since the unveiling of MIUI 12.5. But it is better later than never, and that also gives hope for the Redmi 5 Plus MIUI 12 update arriving soon as the Redmi Note 5 bags the update in China. The Redmi Note 5 MIUI 12 update comes with the features you would expect, some of them which the current version has improved. It includes…

There’s a growing concern about MIUI updates, especially bugs that seem to arrive with each of them. The latest victims are the global POCO X3 NFC users. It looks like the Widevine DRM security level has been pushed back to L3 after the latest Android 11 upgrade. Of course, that’s not the only issue arising from that upgrade, but luckily, there’s a way to enable Widevine L1 on global POCO X3 NFC.
