Targeted Bug Repairs: Fixes UI transition stutters, control center rendering issues, and idle power consumption bugs.

Priority Fixes & Enhancements
Key patches included in this build based on early tester feedback:
Smoother UI Animations: Resolves micro-stutters when opening or closing apps and switching between multi-tasking windows.
Battery Optimization: Eliminates background process loops that caused battery drain during system idle states.
Control Center Visual Fixes: Solves a display bug where quick settings toggles (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Flashlight) froze or failed to show active status correctly.
Camera Performance: Prevents frame drops during 4K video recording on supported flagship models.
How to Prepare Your Phone for the Update
If you are enrolled in the beta testing track, complete these steps before installing the update:
Backup Your Device: Beta firmware carries potential stability risks. Save a full local or cloud backup before updating.
Ensure Free Storage: Maintain at least 5 GB to 8 GB of internal storage for installation package extraction.
Check for Updates: Navigate to Settings > About Phone > System Updates or track notifications inside the official Xiaomi Community app.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will installing the second beta erase my files?
No. Standard over-the-air (OTA) updates retain user files. However, keeping a fresh backup is always safe practice when using pre-release firmware.
When will non-beta users get these bug fixes?
After the second beta build validates these fixes without critical issues, the improvements will be merged into the next stable public update.
How do I report bugs during beta testing?
You can send diagnostic logs directly to the development team using the built-in Services & Feedback app on your phone.
