Back in July, Xiaomi started testing Android 12-based MIUI builds for some of its devices. Two months later, three of those handsets have now begun to receive the Android 12 software builds in the MIUI Closed Beta channel. These three phones are nothing but the Xiaomi Mi 11 series.
According to a report by ITHome, Xiaomi is pushing a new MIUI Closed Beta build for Mi 11, Mi 11 Pro, and Mi 11 Ultra in China. The said update comes with build number 21.9.17 and brings along Android 12.
It is the first-ever publicly available MIUI build based on Android 12. Unfortunately, it is only limited to three smartphones and one region (China) at the moment.
Having said that, don’t expect the latest version of Android to arrive on the international variants of the Mi 11 series anytime soon. Because the software has just entered the public testing phase.
For those unaware, Xiaomi is probably the only Android OEM known for releasing weekly MIUI Beta builds for its devices. New features are introduced in this channel and they slowly make their way to the Stable channel in China, followed by other regions.
Hence, though Android 12 has been now made available for Mi 11, Mi 11 Pro, and Mi 11 Ultra in the MIUI Beta channel, it will take some time(depends on issues) to reach the MIUI Stable channel.
