Xiaomi released the Redmi Note 8 last year in August, running Android 9 based on MIUI 11. As such, the device is eligible for Android 10 and MIUI 12, but that’s taking ages to arrive, given that Note 8 Pro and Redmi 8 have received Android 10, at least. But based on the recent development, it looks like Android 10 for Redmi Note 8 and MIUI 12 will start arriving soon. When Xiaomi released the list of its phone that will participate in the MIUI 12 Beta testing, it didn’t include the Redmi Note 8 on the basis that the…

It’s no surprise why the many questions about the Redmi Note 8T Android 10 update. The phone is the same with the regular Redmi Note 8 but offers NFC. Both devices still run Android 9 with the closest they’ve got to receiving Android 10 being the first MIUI 12 Beta update, which was released in June but was quickly pulled due to some issues.  However, the company has since released a fresh MIUI 12 beta for the device ( Redmi Note 8 ), which is based on Android 10.

POCO F2 Pro started receiving a stable MIUI 12 update yesterday, even without undergoing a beta phase. POCO F1 users were hoping to follow the same trail but received a rather underwhelming update this morning. Currently arriving via OTA on the device, is a stable MIUI 11 based Android 10 update that brings the latest Android security patch.  The latest POCO F1 Global stable update has a version number ” MIUI 11.0.9.0 QEJMIXM”, and weighs in at 154MB. It brings the June security patch, improves the system security, and fixes minor bugs. Unfortunately, the new update still doesn’t bring much…

A few days ago, the Xiaomi Mi A3 users woke up to a 1.40GB OTA update that appears to bring the July security patch. But unfortunately, it was something entirely different after they downloaded the update. It disabled the device Dual-SIM functionality, changed the boot animation logo, and then added two system apps. The update had a weird version number “V11.0.3.0.QFQMXTC”, but, unfortunately, you can’t see the version number of Xiaomi Android One updates until you finish installing it. That’s probably the reason many users installed the buggy update. The company reacted almost immediately by releasing a statement, which reads:…

Since the official unveiling of MIUI 12, Xiaomi has been busy with closed beta testing and has recently started rolling out the stable version of the update to eligible phones. POCO F2 Pro was always going to get the update, but not so soon as Beta team members were not recruited to test the pre-release ROM, just like the company is currently doing with Xiaomi Mi 10. Perhaps, since the phone has almost the same development as the Redmi K30 Pro, which has already received the stable MIUI 12 update in China, the company didn’t see the need to organize…
