What a complete failure of a release this is. Notifications are strange, window for notifications is strange, Facebook Messenger is f'cked up. I have a damn square that's bugged. Wish I could go back!

I absolutely agree with you. Bubbles are very buggy, and I much more prefer chat heads on messenger from android 10. I don't know why was I so excited and impatient for android 11. It turns out it's just a ****ty mess of a software. Miui is garbage

Agree that this release is very buggy and unpolished. Would recommend people avoid updating for now.
Wish there was an easy way to downgrade to Android 10 while preserving locked bootloader.

Hopefully MIUI 12.5 will fix all these issues. Xiaomi would've been better off focusing on that rather than trying to do a half-arse rebase of the existing release to Android 11.

Except of a bit misaligned text in messaging apps (Whatsapp, Telegram..) I haven't noticed anything wrong. Sometimes I THINK that I am experiencing out of memory issues, but I am yet to catch it in logs. Otherwise I'm happy with this update (especially with the new bright notification LED which is finally useful). I'm either lucky or don't use any of problematic apps/features (like FB or chat bubbles).

Problem is that Xiaomi is releasing too many devices. They can't possibly focus on each one of them and updating the software properly. Speaking from hardware standpoint, Xiaomi is the best value, but software is really, really poor. Guess you can't have everything. I hope MIUI 12.5 fixes this issues, and I hope Xiaomi changes it's policy of releasing so many devices per year.

How is your battery life?

How is your battery life?

Same or better as before.

Long term usual usage
Screen on: ~7-10 %/h (depending on brightness and app being run)
Screen off: ~0.3-2 %/h (lower during night, higher during day when the phone and apps are more active so phone doesn't get a chance to go to deep sleep so often)

Average from the last 7 days
Screen on: 9.7 %/h
Screen off: 0.9 %/h

Misalign text on Notification,(Reply, Mark as Read),
Battery Life not as good as before.
No Performance boost

No Performance boost

Misaligned text I agree with

I've noticed no difference in battery life.
Performance boosts I find are placebo type effects anyway. You can probably achieve the same result by closing any running apps.

Xiaomi have admitted there is a bug which can cause some devices to show their widevine level as 3 instead of level 1

This means apps that use widevine to verify DRM content such as Netflix will only be able to stream content in standard definition instead of high definition

I have two unmodified devices - one is level 1 and the other level 3 both on same firmware 12.0.1.0 RJSEUXM

I don't know what causes the issue seeing as the device is totally unmodified other than a bug somewhere in the firmware that can trigger it

Hopefully it's fixed in the next update

I expect all resources have gone into the development and rollout of MIUI 12.5
