Last month, Xiaomi confirmed MIUI 12.5 update for the Mi 8 series. A few days later, the vanilla Mi 8 started receiving the said update. Now, the latest version of MIUI is available for three more Mi 8 models, namely Mi 8 Explorer Edition, Mi 8 Pro, and Mi 8 SE.

Xiaomi unveiled MIUI 12.5 alongside the Mi 11 at the end of December 2020. Since then, the company has been trying to deliver the new version of its mobile operating system to eligible devices worldwide.
The firm started sending stable builds in late March. Over three and a half months later, the update is finally available for Mi 8 Explorer Edition, Mi 8 Pro, and Mi 8 SE. The update is currently live in China with the following build numbers.
- Mi 8 Explorer Edition – V12.5.1.0.QEHCNXM
- Mi 8 Pro – V12.5.1.0.QECCNXM
- Mi 8 SE – V12.5.1.0.QEBCNXM
Unsurprisingly, the above-listed builds are labeled as ‘Stable Beta’. This means they are being rolled out in batches for select few users. Anyway, the update should be available for all users in China as well as other regions in the near future.
The Xiaomi Mi 8 family debuted with MIUI 9 based on Android 8.1 Oreo. The handsets were later updated to MIUI 10, MIUI 11, and MIUI 12. They even received Android 9.0 Pie and Android 10. Going by Xiaomi’s software update track record, MIUI 12.5 is likely the last major system update for these phones.
