Almost every day, technology advances in all areas of telephony. Since recently, we have been able to enjoy 5G networks with a speed rate of between 10 to 20 times higher to the even more common 4G.
Taking advantage of these improvements in our networks, which we hope will continue to expand to reach more cities and countries also came the voNR calls to Xiaomi.

Voice and video calls over VoNR, in addition to promising a near-instantaneous connectionbeing able to obtain high-definition video calls in a fast and seamless waynowadays, and with the pandemic, this is a great way to be closer to other people.
In addition to this improvement in quality and speed of connection with Vonr calls there has also been a step forward in terms of the security and reliability of our calls.

But in addition, not all models are compatible with this new feature. Mainly Xiaomi models compatible with VoNR are phones with processors Snapdragon 865, 870, 888 or higher. Some more specific users with processors Mediatek can also use VoNR with Miui and this list will be expanded with new releases.

My phone supports VoNR, but how do I activate VoNR?
This function is present since “recently” in Xiaomi and Miui. Specifically since version 21.4.16 of the Beta version of Miui 12.5 and is disabled by default and hidden.
To activate the VoNR function on any Xiaomi Android phone, we just need to go to the call application and dial the following wildcard:
*#*#8667#*#*
After doing this step, we will get a message that VoNR has been activated and now we go to the settings/sim cards and mobile networks/ and click on the SIM that we have 5G and below you will see the option to use VoNRsimply activate it and that’s it!
