New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….

Original story (published on July 27, 2020) follows:

Xiaomi is currently updating a bunch of its smartphones with the latest MIUI 12 skin. The company first announced its new skin over Android back in April, in China. The Redmi Note 8 Pro was set to be updated during the second phase of the MIUI 12 rollout along with a few other smartphones.

Speakin of which, it first picked up the MIUI 12 update in China, following that, the Global variant of the device was also updated. However, users in India and a few other regions were left out.

Earlier, we reported that the Redmi Note 8 Pro MIUI 12 update was being tested by Mi Pilot testers in India. So it was expected that the device should bag the stable update soon. However, it appears the wait will have to continue.

This is because a new MIUI 12-based update has been released for the Redmi Note 8 Pro, but it’s only available for pilot testers. Similarly, the global stable update was also released for pilot testers first.

Nonetheless, the version for this update is V12.0.0.3.QGGINXM and should be available via OTA to those who’ve been selected for the pilot testing program for the device. Here’s a screenshot of the update that is being pushed in India:

As you can see, the update comes with a download size of 635MB and it should already be available to pilot testers. Unfortunately, it’s still unclear when the public rollout for MIUI 12 for the device will begin.

Although, by the looks of it, Xiaomi may push it starting next month if there are no major problems during the pilot testing phase. Redmi Note 8 Pro users in Indonesia are also expected to get MIUI 12 in August.

As usual, we will continue tracking the rollout and will post an update once the stable build goes live for the public. In the meantime, you can check out our MIUI 12 update tracker to know when it arrives on your device.
