Xiaomi is expected to release MIUI 13 in August. Ahead of it, the company has been updating its devices to MIUI 12.5. The latest handsets to receive this update are Mi 11 Lite 4G and Mi 8 Lite. Both these smartphones are a watered-down version of the flagship Mi 11 and the Mi 8 series respectively.
The Mi 11 Lite 4G was unveiled in late March with MIUI 12 based on Android 11. The phone is being gradually introduced in markets around the world. It launched in India this week.
Three months after its announcement, the ‘Global’ variant of the handset has started receiving the MIUI 12.5 update with build number V12.5.3.0.RKQMIXM. Unsurprisingly, the software build is in the ‘Stable Beta’ phase. In simpler words, the update is being pushed in batches.
On the other hand, the Mi 8 Lite is a fairly old device. It launched in 2018 with MIUI 9 based on Android 8.0 Oreo. So far, it has received MIUI 10, MIUI 11, and MIUI 12 updates, in addition to Android 9.0 Pie and Android 10.
Now, Xiaomi has started rolling out the MIUI 12.5 update for this phone. The update is currently live in China with build number V12.5.1.0.QDTCNXM. It is being seeded out in batches.
The latest system update for both these smartphones should reach the other regional variants in the coming days. Last but not least, this should be the last-ever major update for the Mi 8 Lite. It will not receive MIUI 13 update like the Mi 11 Lite 4G.
