Xiaomi has been continuously rolling out MIUI 12 update to eligible devices for months. Last week, the company began to seed out MIUI 12 stable update for its 2018 flagship, Mi 8 in China. Now, Mi 8 Lite, the toned-down version of this handset is getting a similar treatment.
Just like most Xiaomi/Redmi handsets, the MIUI 12 stable update for Mi 8 Lite comes with build number V12.0.1.0.QDTCNXM (via PiunikaWeb). Also, like other phones, the update is being rolled out in batches and therefore, it will take time to reach every unit.
As for features, since the device sports an LCD panel, it misses out on new AOD+ and Super Wallpapers. But it gets all other important goodies like Dark Mode 2.0, new Control Center, granular permissions, new animations, and more.
This smartphone was also made available in international markets like Europe upon release. But the MIUI 12 stable update rollout for the global variant is yet to begin. Similar story for the Mi 8 as well. Also, the latter will mostly get the update first in global markets like in China.
Further, since POCO F1 was launched around the same time as these two phones, we think it will be soon getting the MIUI 12 update as well.
