A new stable update starts arriving for the Redmi 8A and Redmi 8 as MIUI 12 looms

Last night, Xiaomi released a stable MIUI 12 update for the Mi 10, which arrived with stable Android 11 after nearly two months of testing. The Redmi 8A, however, received the Android 10 update recently with a stable MIUI 11 build and is yet to receive the latest MIUI 12 Android skin.

And while many users of the device expect the update to start arriving probably this month, Xiaomi has just released a new update for the device. It will be for many, another underwhelming update as it sans the much-anticipated MIUI 12, but the update is needed to keep the system working and also to improve security.

That said, if you receive the new stable Redmi 8A update, we advise that you download and install. It will not only bump your device security patch level to October but will also help in a seamless transition to MIUI 12. And if you’re yet to receive a prompt notification for the new stable Redmi 8A update, you can follow the download link below this post.

The update, meanwhile, is arriving for the Russian and Indian users. It comes as MIUI 11.0.2.0 QCPRUXM and MIUI 11.0.2.0 QCPINXM, respectively. It is a 264MB package and will arrive for everyone in a couple of days, but you can as well make use of the download link below for the OTA and Recovery ROM.

Meanwhile, the Redmi 8 is also getting a new stable update. It’s for the Indian users and comes with a version number, MIUI 11.0.2.0 QCNINXM. The update brings the October security patch to improve system security while fixing some minor bugs.

We recommend that you download the update when you’re prompted to get your device ready for a seamless transition to MIUI 12. And if everything goes smoothly, we expect the update to start seeding in the next few weeks.
