Redmi Note series is probably the most popular smartphone lineup by Xiaomi in India. But unfortunately, it is not known for getting early access to updates. The older Redmi Note 8 Pro and the Redmi Note 9 Pro have started receiving the MIUI 12.5 update only now.

The last major update for the Redmi Note 8 Pro in India was MIUI 12 over a year ago. Similarly, Redmi Note 9 Pro got its last big update in the form of Android 11 in late 2020.

The two phones are now receiving the MIUI 12.5 update together in the country. The latest system update for the Redmi Note 8 Pro also brings along Android 11. However, the new build comes with July 2021 security patches instead of August 2021 like the Redmi Note 9 Pro.

The new software update for the Redmi Note 8 Pro and the Redmi Note 9 Pro in India bumps up the build numbers to V12.5.3.0.RGGINXM and V12.5.1.0.RJWINXM respectively.

Like any other OTA system update, the MIUI 12.5 update for these handsets is also being rolled out in batches. Hence, they might take some time to reach every user. But at the end of the day, everyone should be able to experience the new software in the coming days.

Xiaomi is rumored to announce MIUI 13 very soon. However, the company is yet to release MIUI 12.5 update for eligible devices. The latest smartphones to get the current latest MIUI versions are the popular Redmi Note 8 Pro and the POCO F2 Pro.

The Redmi Note 8 Pro was the first Redmi Note series smartphone to use a MediaTek chipset after a very long time. The device debuted with the then-new Helio G90T SoC. It was released with MIUI 10 based on Android 9.0 Pie.

The handset received two MIUI updates (MIUI 11, MIUI 12) and was even promoted to Android 10. Now, Xiaomi has started rolling out MIUI 12.5 update along with Android 11. Unfortunately, the update is only live in China with build number V12.5.1.0.RGGCNXM. But it should hit the remaining regional variants soon.

The POCO F2 Pro, on the other hand, is a rebranded Redmi K30 Pro. The original phone received the MIUI 12.5 update in May. Hence, the POCO F2 Pro was expected to get it soon.

Right now, the POCO F2 Pro MIUI 12.5 update is only available for the EEA variant with build number V12.5.1.0.RJKEUXM. Anyway, the update should reach other regional variants in the coming weeks.

Unlike the above handset, this one launched with MIUI 11 based on Android 10. It was updated to MIUI 12 as well as Android 11 months after its release.
