Xiaomi launched the Mi 10T, Mi 10T Pro in India back in October 2020. Later, it brought the Mi 10T as Redmi K30S Ultra in China. While the former has already got the Android 11 update in India, the latter is getting it in China only now.

An OTA update with firmware version V12.1.1.0.RJDCNXM is rolling out to the users of Redmi K30S Ultra in China. This update brings the stable MIUI based on Android 11. A few days back the rollout had begun for select users and Xiaomi seems to be widening the rollout from today.

If you recall, the Redmi K30S Ultra(i.e, Extreme Commemorative Edition) came with MIUI 12.0 based on Android 10 out of the box when it launched. Despite being a part of the  Android 11-based weekly MIUI builds in China, it is getting the Android 11 upgrade late compared to the Mi 10T in India.

Anyway, this update brings the MIUI 12.1 UI with it and it is still not the latest MIUI 12.5. Compared to this, the Xiaomi Mi 9 SE, which is a two-year-old device, has already started getting the stable MIUI 12.5 update in China.

Xiaomi has started the stable rollout of this new incremental UI in its home country lately and devices like Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra and Mi 11 are among the first ones to it.

Coming back, this is the first major upgrade for the Redmi K30S Ultra so the device isn’t going off Xiaomi’s list of devices just yet. Speaking of which, it is one of the 28 devices that is getting the MIUI 12.5 update in the first wave in China so expect the rollout to begin anytime.

Xiaomi is the only smartphone OEM to release weekly software builds for its devices. In the announcement post for this week’s builds on Mi Community China, the company confirmed the Android 11 update for a number of Xiaomi and Redmi phones from 2019.

Xiaomi unveiled MIUI 12 in late April. Since then, the world’s third-largest smartphone maker has been updating its devices to the latest version of its mobile software. As of now, the company’s flagship, mid-range, select budget phones have received the update. Only certain budget and older handsets are yet to get the update.

On the other hand, the 2020 premium devices that have been updated to MIUI 12 have also started receiving Android 11 update. Hence, the firm has now revealed the next batch of handsets that will be getting the latest version of Android.
