Xiaomi Mi MIX 2S MIUI 12 update released for global units; Mi 9 Lite MIUI 12 re-released in Europe (Download link inside)

Xiaomi is providing many of its devices with the MIUI 12 update as part of the second round of the rollout schedule. The Mi MIX 2S and Mi 9 Lite are among the devices that have received the latest custom skin in several regions.

It was reported earlier that the MIUI 12 update for the Mi MIX 2S started rolling out in China as the OEM delivers the latest updates in the home-country first. After some time, the Russian Mi MIX 2S variant also bagged the latest custom skin.

Also, the Global, Russian, and European Mi 9 Lite units bagged MIUI 12 pretty recently. However, some European Mi 9 Lite owners were still stuck on MIUI 11 version V11.0.3.0.QFCEUXM.

Now, the OEM is rolling out the MIUI 12 update for the Global Mi MIX 2S variant. Moreover, the Mi 9 Lite users who didn’t receive the update earlier in Europe are now getting the updated MIUI 12 version V12.0.3.0.QFCEUXM.

It seems that the OEM wants to be on top of its game with MIUI 12 as the new custom UI offers a lot of amazing features. So, you can either grab the MIUI 12 update over the air or go for manual installation.

The changelog for the Global Mi MIX 2S and European Mi 9 Lite MIUI 12 updates are given below along with the download links. Also, you can refer to these workarounds in case you come across any errors while installing the update manually.
