After getting latest update, I have a problem with the phone. When I want to save a number in contacts, it doesn't type correctly. The space bar in keyboard doesn't move forward.
Any solution please.

I'm using this phone since 2019. Couple days ago I updated to MIUI 12.0.2 .After the update performance got worst. There was a battery draining issue and total smoothness was gone. I tried to shoot a 4K video using open camera but it doesn't work and phone got freeze. Also there were some issues in multitasking. After the update it took 2.5 seconds to open WhatsApp. Before the update it was ~1 second. There were no major different between MIUI 11. Floating windows, navigation bar are not available in this phone. Anyway control center and New notification panel are awesome I like it.

Fortunately there is a way to downgrade MIUI 12 to MIUI 11. It doesn't need to unlock boot loader or any other thing. Simply you can downgrade. First download the MIUI 11.0.5 Recovery file. Then go to update setting press 10 time MIUI 12 icon , then select chose update package and select the recovery rom. Then my phone downgraded to MIUI 11.0.5. To this day Xiaomi allow to officially downgrade MIUI. That's good option.

I'm using this device near a 2 years. This is a very good device. I love it. This phone gives Premium midrange performance for a budget price. Btw the Xiaomi will stop updates for this phone in May 2021. Then you won't get any future update. Please think twice before the update. Because most of the phone companies play monopoly with their older devices.
