Xiaomi is currently testing MIUI 12.5 beta on several eligible devices back in China, among them the Redmi Note 7, Redmi Note 7 Pro and the Mi CC9e.

The new software was unveiled towards the end of last month and so far we know quite a lot regarding what to expect in terms of features and improvements.

Xiaomi has also shared details of when to expect the stable rollout to begin, which is scheduled for April 2021.

The Redmi Note 7, Note 7 Pro and Mi CC9e now join the likes of Mi 8, Mi MIX 2S, and Mi MIX 3 in being dropped from MIUI beta program. However, this doesn’t mean they will immediately stop receiving new updates.

The end of the program will bring to an end three years of software support for the devices in question following their launch in 2018. Also, this will likely mean no room for MIUI 13 update when it arrives.
