As you can see above, only 11 devices will receive the MIUI 12 update in the first batch. Others will have to wait to get the latest features but it’s amazing to see Xiaomi release this update to 38 devices in its portfolio. Some of these devices were launched about 2 years ago.
The aforementioned list does not include a myriad of smartphones such as the Redmi Note 9 Pro, Redmi Note 9 Pro Max, Poco X2, Mi 10 Lite, and more because Xiaomi has only announced what all phones in China will get the MIUI 12 update. The company, on stage at the event, also revealed that stable MIUI 12 builds will start rolling out by the end of June.
We can expect Xiaomi to launch MIUI 12 globally, along with device eligibility and availability details, in the coming weeks. It is then we will learn when your Xiaomi or Redmi device will receive the MIUI 12 update in India. The rollout may be delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, so we’ll just have to wait for more information.
