Xiaomi launched the Mi 11i in late March. The smartphone is nothing but a rebranded Redmi K40 Pro+. The same device is also sold as Mi 11X Pro in India. It debuted with MIUI 12 based on Android 11. Two months after its announcement, the Mi 11i has now started receiving the MIUI 12.5 update.

Xiaomi rolled out the MIUI 12.5 update for the Redmi K40 Pro+ at the end of April. So it was certain that the Mi 11i and the Mi 11X Pro would be getting in the next few weeks. 

Over a month later, the update is finally live for the Mi 11i. For those who don’t know, MIUI 12.5 is the latest version of Xiaomi’s mobile operating system. It brings improvements for the devices that are already running MIUI 12.

Anyway, the Mi 11i MIUI 12.5 update is being seeded out to the EEA variant with build number V12.5.2.0.RKKEUXM. Interestingly, the software build is labeled ‘Stable’ instead of ‘Stable Beta’ though it is a new release.

Hence, theoretically, the update should be available for all users of the Mi 11i EEA variant. If it’s not, don’t worry as it should reach every unit in the coming days.

Last but not least, the Global variant of Mi 11i and the Mi 11X Pro shall also start receiving the MIUI 12.5 update in near future.

The post Poll of The Week: Which of these new Xiaomi products are you buying? appeared first on Gizmochina.

Xiaomi launched the K40 series in China a few days ago. Soon after that, reports started surfacing that these devices will be rebranded under POCO for the Global markets. Now, kacskrz, an XDA senior member, has found evidences of the devices and it may come to India under the ‘Mi’ branding.

As per the code snippet found by kacskrz, a Xiaomi device with ‘Mi’ branding and ‘Mi 11X‘ market name appears with model number M2012K11AI. Additionally, the codename of the device is shown as ‘aliothin’. In case you don’t know, this model number and codename belong to the Redmi K40(already certified by India’s BIS).

That is, going by the usual naming of Xiaomi, the ‘in’ at the end of ‘alioth’ should indicate that it’s an Indian variant. Similarly, another code reveals a new device called ‘Mi 11X Pro’. If the above guess turns true, then the Redmi K40 Pro should take the Mi 11X Pro naming.

Earlier today, tech influencer Mukul Sharma said that the K40 will be rebranded as POCO for the Global markets. However, it looks like the devices won’t come to India under POCO but debut as Mi 11X, Mi 11X Pro. If that isn’t enough, a third device with the ‘Mi 11i‘ moniker suggests that it could be the rebranded Redmi K40 Pro Plus for Global markets.

The Redmi K40 Pro+ has a codename ‘haydn’ and the corresponding Mi 11i has “haydn_pro”. That said, there is no sign of this launching in India as the Mi 11i codename has “haydn_pro_global” and no ‘in’.

Last month, Manu Kumar Jain confirmed that two Snapdragon 870 and Snapdragon 888 devices are coming to India. If you match it with the above info, it leaves us to believe that the Mi 11 devices for India will be a rebrand of the Redmi K40, K40 Pro from China. Anyway, let’s wait for official info to confirm it.
