The Redmi Note lineup has always been Xiaomi’s best-selling smartphone models after the Redmi A series. Despite that, these devices are usually late to get new system updates. For instance, the Redmi Note 7 and the Redmi Note 7S have begun to receive MIUI 12 update in India only now.
Xiaomi launched the Redmi Note 7 series at the end of February 2019 in India. The handsets debuted with MIUI 10 based on Android Pie. All the three phones in the series were later updated to MIUI 11 later that year.
However, the company started seeding out Android 10 update to these devices only in late June, followed by a wider rollout in August. In the same month, the Redmi Note 7 Pro started receiving MIUI 12 update in China, which was further extended to more regions in September.
Then, in late October, the MIUI 12 update was made available for Redmi Note 7 and Redmi Note 7S. A month later in November, these two handsets have now begun to get the same update in India.
Since these two smartphones are basically the same phone with different primary cameras (12MP vs 48MP), they run the same software build. Hence, the MIUI 12 update is common for them with build number V12.0.1.0.QFGINXM.
Currently, the update is in Stable Beta form, which means it is only available for limited users. If these early adopters don’t face any major issues, the update will be rolled out to more users in the coming days.
