Xiaomi launched the Redmi Note 10 Pro and the Redmi Note 10 Pro Max in India in March. These smartphones debuted with MIUI 12 based on Android 11. Yesterday, reports started pouring in that the duo has begun to receive the MIUI 12.5 update in the country. But unfortunately, that’s not the case.

A few weeks back, Xiaomi recruited testers for MIUI 12.5 in global markets. The company calls these testers ‘Mi Pilot Testers’. The Chinese smartphone maker recruits new ‘Pilot Testers’ every now and then as it no longer releases MIUI Global Beta builds.

For those unaware, up until mid-2019, Xiaomi used to release weekly MIUI Global Beta builds. But right now, these weekly builds are limited to China.

Hence, the only way to experience new MIUI features officially before anyone in international markets is to enroll in the Mi Pilot testing program. These testers receive exclusive builds that can be only installed on their registered Xiaomi, Redmi, or POCO smartphone with their ‘Mi Account’ logged in.

Others can install these builds unofficially. Interested users will need to unlock their phone’s bootloader and install a custom recovery for this purpose. Although this does not void warranty, we advise you not to follow this if you don’t know what you are doing.

Coming back to the topic, the MIUI 12.5 build (V12.5.1.0.RKFINXM) that has been released for the Redmi Note 10 Pro and the Redmi Note 10 Pro Max right now in India is solely for ‘Mi Pilot Testers’. In simpler words, the update is not available for the general public.

We are not sure when Xiaomi will be releasing MIUI 12.5 for these phones. But whenever the company does, it will be rolled out in batches as ‘Stable Beta’ (limited rollout), followed by ‘Stable’ (final release) to everyone.
