Xiaomin’s Lei Jun has confirmed that MIUI 13 will arrive by the end of 2021. This means MIUI 12.5 continues to be the new version of the company’s Android-based mobile operating system for the time being. It makes sense too as the firm has just started rolling out this version of MIUI for Redmi Note 10, Redmi 8, Redmi 8A and Redmi 7A.
The Redmi Note 10 is the most affordable smartphone in the Redmi Note 10 series. However, despite launching in March, the device has begun to receive the MIUI 12.5 update only now.
In fact, the update is currently only live for the ‘Global’ variant of the phone with build number V12.5.2.0.RKGMIXM. Anyway, other regional variants should get this very same update in the coming weeks.
On the other hand, the MIUI 12.5 update for Redmi 8, Redmi 8A, and Redmi 7A is only available in China right now. The update for these devices arrives with build numbers V12.5.1.0.QCNCNXM, V12.5.1.0.QCPCNXM, and V12.5.1.0.QCMCNXM respectively.
The update should gradually reach the remaining variants of these handsets in the near future. That said, MIUI 12.5 could be the last major update for these three phones.
Because Xiaomi is known for providing two MIUI updates and one Android update for its entry-level smartphones, and these handsets have now reached that threshold.
