Xiaomi might have moved to Enhanced Edition of MIUI 12.5, but they’re still not done with MIUI 12.5 release. The update has now reached the Redmi 7A units in Europe after months of waiting. And given the look of things, it might be where the journey ends for the new version of MIUI. Meanwhile, the Redmi 7A MIUI 12.5 update in Europe is a stable beta release. The Mi Pilots are the ones getting the much-anticipated update for preview. It will last for a couple of days, and if successful, the update will be released to the public. We don’t…
