Poco X2 MIUI 12 update not in sight as device bags MIUI 11-based June security patch (Download link inside)

The Poco X2 is currently one of the best mid-range smartphones. It comes with the Snapdragon 730G chipset paired with 6GB or 8GB RAM. Moreover, the 120hz refresh rate display makes it stand out from the competition. On the software front, the device runs on Android 10 with the MIUI 11 skin.

Speaking of which, the China variant known as the Redmi K30 4G has already received the MIUI 12 update. But that has not been the case with the Poco X2 yet. The device is in line to receive the MIUI 12 update. However, there’s no official release date for it.

Moreover, it just picked up a new update carrying the June security patch. And that’s basically all that comes with the update. The new software is still based on Android 10 with MIUI 11 on top.

This new update carries the version V11.0.11.0.QGHINXM which has been bumped up from V11.0.10.0.QGHINXM. The file size for the OTA package is 173MB. Here’s the changelog for the V11.0.11.0.QGHINXM update:
