The Redmi Note 8 remains the most successful mid-range phone in the company’s lineup. It has sold over 25 million units globally, which is probably, what triggered the company to upgrade the device to Android 11. The update has since arrived in China, hinting at an imminent global release, but that didn’t happen until now.

Perhaps, the latest developments are the reason it seems Xiaomi has improved the speed of deployment. Also, the Chinese closed beta testers are allegedly receiving the MIUI 13 beta update, and hence, we expect the MIUI 12.5 rollout to be in full swing.
