Download: MIUI 12.5 Closed Beta for Xiaomi and Redmi devices [Update: Oct 29 builds]

The latest version of Xiaomi’s custom Android skin – MIUI 12.5 – is finally here. The first incremental update over MIUI 12 has been unveiled at the Mi 11 launch event in China. Compared to MIUI 12, the stable version of which was released less than six months ago, MIUI 12.5 brings in a slew of improvements, visual overhauls, and a handful of new features. We have already extracted the new live wallpapers, and now we are presenting the downloading links of the first set of MIUI 12.5 beta firmware packages for a bunch of Xiaomi, Redmi, and POCO devices.

It is worth mentioning that these closed beta builds are meant for the Chinese variants, as Xiaomi suspended the rollout of MIUI global beta last year. As a consequence, you have to flash these recovery ROMs using TWRP to bypass the MIUI beta account whitelisting. Do not expect Google Play Services or any pre-installed Google apps in them. Language options are likely limited to English and Chinese only, too.

The Best Xiaomi Phones to Buy

The beta MIUI 12.5 builds listed below are based on either Android 10 or Android 11, depending on the device. If you are looking for MIUI 12 stable releases, you can find those here.

Samsung Galaxy S22 series and Galaxy S21 FE are reportedly launching in early 2022

Samsung’s next flagship series is launching in early February next year, with the long-delayed Galaxy S21 FE arriving a month before it, according to a new report.

According to SamMobiles, Samsung will launch the Galaxy S22 series in February 2022. SamMobiles says, based on information they received, they’re confident that the Galaxy S22 will be unveiled in early February instead of the late January date that leakers like IceUniverse have previously suggested.

In a separate report, SamMobile also claims that the launch of the Galaxy S22 series will be preceded by the Galaxy S21 FE, which will launch sometime in January 2022. The publication says the launch will take place at CES 2022, which is scheduled for January 5-8. This is in line with previous reports from Ross Young, Jon Prosser, and Max Weinbach, who have suggested a January launch for the Galaxy S21 FE.

The Galaxy S22 lineup will reportedly consist of the Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+, and Galaxy S22 Ultra, following the same pattern as the last year. Rumors have it all devices in the Galaxy S22 series will be powered by the Exynos 2200, which is tipped to be the first Exynos chip with an AMD GPU.

As seen in leaked renders last month, the Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S22+ will stick to the last year’s design, featuring the familiar camera bump and the centered hole-punch display on the front. The regular Galaxy S22 will reportedly feature a 6.06-inch AMOLED display, while the Galaxy S22+ will sport a larger display. Both phones are also tipped to feature a 50MP GN5 camera.

Finally, the Galaxy S22 Ultra is believed to be a spiritual successor to the Galaxy Note series and feature a design similar to the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. It will reportedly pack a 5,000mAh battery and similar zoom camera as last year. Rumors are also hinting that the phone could have an integrated S Pen.

Apple could be working on a beefier iMac “Pro” for next year

For the past year, Apple has been working on migrating its Mac lineup from Intel to its own M1 chip. The first Macs to get a taste of M1 were the MacBook Air 13″, MacBook Pro 13″, and Mac Mini last November. The iMac 24″ got a colorful redesign the following Spring. And finally, the MacBook Pro 2021 models were released last month, powered by the M1 Pro and Max chips and available in 14 and 16-inch configurations. Apple is now seemingly working on a new M1 Pro/Max-equipped iMac “Pro” to replace the 27″ Intel iMac.

According to MacRumors, leaker Dylandkt has shared that Apple is planning to release a redesigned 27″ iMac “Pro” during the first half of 2022. The upgraded M1 Pro/Max chips will allegedly power the new iMac “Pro”. Thus it will have the “Pro” label to distinguish it from the 24″ M1 iMac. This comes as no surprise, considering Apple wants to completely get rid of Intel Macs. The 27″ iMac replacement will only bring the tech giant a step closer to reaching that aim.

The base model of the upcoming iMac is expected to include 16GB of RAM and 512GB of SSD, and it will likely cost over $2,000 in the US. Its 27″ Mini LED display is said to support ProMotion technology and have dark bezels. Dylan also mentions that it will feature a wider port variety, similar to that on the new MacBook Pro. This includes HDMI and USB C ports, in addition to an SD card reader.

The leaker states in his tweet that Face ID was tested on the upcoming iMac “Pro”. However, it’s still unclear if the feature will make it to the final commercial product or not. Apple has never included the TrueDepth camera system on a Mac. Despite having a notch, the new MacBook Pro models have a regular webcam with no Face ID support. We will have to wait and see what the people in Cupertino have in store for us.

What are you most excited about in the upcoming iMac “Pro”? Let us know in the comments section below.

Download: MIUI 12.5 Closed Beta for Xiaomi and Redmi devices [Update: Oct 29 builds]

The latest version of Xiaomi’s custom Android skin – MIUI 12.5 – is finally here. The first incremental update over MIUI 12 has been unveiled at the Mi 11 launch event in China. Compared to MIUI 12, the stable version of which was released less than six months ago, MIUI 12.5 brings in a slew of improvements, visual overhauls, and a handful of new features. We have already extracted the new live wallpapers, and now we are presenting the downloading links of the first set of MIUI 12.5 beta firmware packages for a bunch of Xiaomi, Redmi, and POCO devices.

It is worth mentioning that these closed beta builds are meant for the Chinese variants, as Xiaomi suspended the rollout of MIUI global beta last year. As a consequence, you have to flash these recovery ROMs using TWRP to bypass the MIUI beta account whitelisting. Do not expect Google Play Services or any pre-installed Google apps in them. Language options are likely limited to English and Chinese only, too.

The Best Xiaomi Phones to Buy

The beta MIUI 12.5 builds listed below are based on either Android 10 or Android 11, depending on the device. If you are looking for MIUI 12 stable releases, you can find those here.

Apple could be working on a beefier iMac “Pro” for next year

For the past year, Apple has been working on migrating its Mac lineup from Intel to its own M1 chip. The first Macs to get a taste of M1 were the MacBook Air 13″, MacBook Pro 13″, and Mac Mini last November. The iMac 24″ got a colorful redesign the following Spring. And finally, the MacBook Pro 2021 models were released last month, powered by the M1 Pro and Max chips and available in 14 and 16-inch configurations. Apple is now seemingly working on a new M1 Pro/Max-equipped iMac “Pro” to replace the 27″ Intel iMac.

According to MacRumors, leaker Dylandkt has shared that Apple is planning to release a redesigned 27″ iMac “Pro” during the first half of 2022. The upgraded M1 Pro/Max chips will allegedly power the new iMac “Pro”. Thus it will have the “Pro” label to distinguish it from the 24″ M1 iMac. This comes as no surprise, considering Apple wants to completely get rid of Intel Macs. The 27″ iMac replacement will only bring the tech giant a step closer to reaching that aim.

The base model of the upcoming iMac is expected to include 16GB of RAM and 512GB of SSD, and it will likely cost over $2,000 in the US. Its 27″ Mini LED display is said to support ProMotion technology and have dark bezels. Dylan also mentions that it will feature a wider port variety, similar to that on the new MacBook Pro. This includes HDMI and USB C ports, in addition to an SD card reader.

The leaker states in his tweet that Face ID was tested on the upcoming iMac “Pro”. However, it’s still unclear if the feature will make it to the final commercial product or not. Apple has never included the TrueDepth camera system on a Mac. Despite having a notch, the new MacBook Pro models have a regular webcam with no Face ID support. We will have to wait and see what the people in Cupertino have in store for us.
