The Redmi Note 8 Pro, alongside the vanilla Note 8, are among Xiaomi phones that launched in 2019 eligible for Android 11. So far, the update has arrived for closed beta testers but still under testing before it’s pushed to Stable ROM users. Meanwhile, the Redmi Note 8 has already adopted the update in China while the company prepares to make it available in more region. But the Redmi Note 8 Pro might have to wait till the stable MIUI 12.5 starts rolling out to adopt a new Android OS. That seems like it as Xiaomi starts rolling out a new update for the units sold in India to increase the system security.
The new stable Redmi Note 8 Pro update in India is essentially a security patch build. It comes as MIUI 12.0.5.0 QGGINXM and weighs in at 726MB. Of course, that size is big for a patch build, which indicates that it brings more other than just a new Android security level ( April 2021). Hence, we recommend that you download and install the update when prompted. And if you have an authorized Mi Beta account, you can download the ROM via the link below.
Meanwhile, you might have to wait for the public release before you can install the update, except you have a compatible TWRP Recovery installed. The reason is that most times, flashing a stable beta build returns an error saying the update is for internal testing only. It’s only with an authorized Mi Beta account or TWRP Recovery that you can bypass the server lock.
Concerning when the Android 11 update will start seeding, there’s currently no ETA. But you should keep an eye on our tracker page, so you won’t miss out on any information as regards the Redmi Note 8 Pro Android 11 update.
