Greeting guys! Been long time since I review beta ROMs and here it comes, MIUI 12!
This is the first version of the new MIUI so its to be expected to have lots of bugs and glitches.
Anyone face same performance issue like me too? I hope the future builds will solve this.
Anyway, gotta say that pan and zoom on video support is the one I've been waiting long time ago
and they deliver it! Great job Xiaomi and Xiaomi.EU developers
