After having to wait a long time, having suffered delays and after having tested a beta version that has lasted a long time for users, we can finally confirm that the stable global version with MIUI 12 reaches the Redmi Note 8 . A smartphone that accompanied the Redmi Note 8 Pro and Redmi Note 8T, but which has finally been the last to be updated and take the leap.
Due to the extensive list of terminals that Xiaomi has, the wait may seem very long, but this was one of the models that the company decided to put the most emphasis on. Other models have been able to enjoy MIUI 12 before, although with problems, errors and failures that ultimately do not benefit users. We trust that this time, Xiaomi’s Redmi Note 8 will not have to suffer them on its skin.
The long-awaited update begins to expand
The first users who have had the global beta are already beginning to receive this global update, which in a few days will be extended to the rest of the models. The weight of the update in question is exactly 2.3 GB, a high weight that should be noted for the changes it offers us. Although to enjoy it in Spain we could take up to a full month, that is why the month of November was from the beginning the key month for this new model and others such as the Redmi Note 9S or Redmi Note 8T, which also begin to receive the update now.
We will have to be patient to be able to enjoy the new MIUI 12 control center, the total redesign of the customization layer or even many of its applications such as the native camera. In this case, the update is accompanied by the September security patch, which is appreciated. The update itself is identified with the number V12.0.1.0.QCOMIXM and no, we are not going to leave Android 10 for now.
How to get ahead of the update
The first option that we can find to get MIUI 12 before is somewhat complex and forces us to root the device. However, without doing any of this and having the update around the corner, all we have to do is go into Settings> About the phone> Updates> Update settings and activate the option to receive updates earlier.
In a few days we will be able to receive the expected MIUI 12 version in the Redmi Note 8 and get more out of the Snapdragon 665 processor, which continues to have a lot to say in this modest phone. We can also take better advantage of the 48 Mpx cameras, 8 Mpx wide angle and portrait or macro options. In addition, the 4,000 mAh battery will not be affected and if we now reach the end of the day, the same will happen.
