Xiaomi has been seeding MIUI 13 update for eligible devices since January. The latest smartphone to get the fresh version of the company’s mobile software is Redmi K40 Gaming Edition. The update arrives for this handset less than a month from the launch of its successor – Redmi K50G aka Redmi K50 Gaming Edition.
The MIUI 13 update for Redmi K40 Gaming Edition is based on Android 12. Like any other OTA system update, this one is also being seeded in batches.
In other words, it is only available for a select few users. The build should reach more users in the coming days if there are no major bugs.
The latest software update for the phone carries build number V13.0.3.0.SKJCNXM. Apart from bringing new features, it also comes with January 2022 security patches.
For those unaware, the Redmi K40 Gaming Edition is a China-exclusive device. However, it is sold under the name of POCO F3 GT in India. Since both are basically the same smartphone and run identical firmware with regional differences, it should also receive a similar treatment very soon.
That being said, MIUI 13 and Android 12 are the first major MIUI and Android updates for the Redmi K40 Gaming Edition. Going by Xiaomi’s track record, the handset will likely get one more Android update and two additional MIUI updates.
