The Redmi 7A was one of the best entry-level smartphones of its time. The device debuted with MIUI 10 based on Android 9.0 (Pie). Later, Xiaomi updated its software to MIUI 11 based on Android 10. Earlier this week, the handset even started receiving MIUI 12 in China. Now, the same update is even live in India.
MIUI 12 was announced back in late April 2020. Since then, Xiaomi has been delivering this update to the eligible devices worldwide. Being a cheap phone from 2018, the Redmi 7A has begun to get this update only now.
That said, the MIUI 12 update for Redmi 7A in India comes with build number V12.0.1.0.QCMINXM. Since the rollout has just started now, the build is currently in the Stable Beta phase.
That means the update is only available for certain users in the country. But it should be available for every user if there’s no major issue with this build. Else, a new build will be released and it will go through the same cycle again.
Further, we also expect other variants of this smartphone such as Global, EEA, and Russia to get the update very soon. Also, it is worth noting that the MIUI 12 is the last major update for Redmi 7A as it is not eligible for Android 11 but may receive MIUI 12.5 later next year.
