The Redmi K40 Pro+ was one of the first smartphones to receive the MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition update in China in late August. The headset is sold as Mi 11X Pro in India. Xiaomi has now started seeding the latest version of MIUI to this variant of the phone.

MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition does not bring any new features. Instead, it focuses on optimizations. Xiaomi has been rolling it out to eligible devices worldwide ever since it was announced.

The update arrives for the Mi 11X Pro with build number V12.5.4.0.RKKINXM. In a typical Xiaomi manner,  despite being seeded out in October, the software build comes with September 2021 security patches.

Since the update is being pushed in batches, the build is currently labeled ‘Stable Beta’. Anyway, it should reach every user in the coming days.

On the other hand, the ‘Global’ variant of this smartphone called Mi 11i had already got access to MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition in September. In fact, interested users can also test Android 12 on it by enrolling themselves in the ‘Pilot’ program.

At the same time, the EEA variant of Mi 11i is yet to get the update. Hence, it will be the last variant of the Redmi K40 Pro+ to receive the MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition update.

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.
