POCO X2 users in India will get a new MIUI 12.1 version update with firmware version 12.1.2.0.RGHINXM. This update not only bundles a few bug fixes, security patches but also includes stable Android 11. It reportedly weighs 2.6GB and is currently rolling out to the device via OTA(Over-The-Air) update.

As mentioned above, the update also brings the latest January 2021 security patch along with it. You can take a look at the changelog below:

Optimizations:

  • Noise could be heard when the screen was turned off in some cases
  • Updated Android Security Patch to January 2021. Increased system security.
  • Stable MIUI based on Android 11

With this, POCO X2 becomes the first POCO in India to get the Android 11 update. As for the Global tally, we already have the POCO F2 Pro running on a stable version. This is not the only first for the X2 in India. Back in August, it became the first smartphone in India to get the MIUI 12 update.

Now that POCO has checked the year-old X2 update mark, it’s next target should be the budget devices POCO M2 Pro, and its sibling POCO M2 in the country.

Anyway, the new update also fixes a critical creaking noise bug that occurred in certain screen-off scenarios. If you are living in India, you can try out the update by navigating to the update section in Settings. Consequently, if you are impatient to wait for the phased rollout to appear, you can download it here and install it manually.
