Users have taken Twitter to confirm that the Android 10 based MIUI 12 stable ROM update is rolling out to its Redmi Note 8 units in India. The latest update comes with the MIUI 12.0.1.0.QCOINXM build number. The screenshots suggest that the update size is 2GB. It is recommended to install the update with a good Wi-Fi connection and users will need to free up space before starting the installation process. Also make sure your battery is sufficiently charged, or your phone is charging, before you start downloading and installing the update.
Redmi Note 8 users need to check for update manually in Settings if they haven’t received a notification yet. It may take a while before the update reaches all units in India. The changelog is minimal and suggests that the latest MIUI 12 update increases system security and brings with it the October 2020 Android security patch.
MIUI 12 brings a new user interface experience with reworked animations and visualizations throughout the system. Dark mode has also been improved throughout the system, covering system apps and third-party apps. There is an ultra battery saver mode that is said to extend the phone’s standby time and reduce power consumption. The update also introduces an app drawer that categorizes apps. It also adjusts the screen brightness automatically based on ambient light. To recall, the Redmi Note 8 Pro had started receiving the MIUI 12 update in August.
