The highly acclaimed smartphone is part of the official MIUI 12 roadmap but is still due to get the much-awaited update. Xiaomi is done with the first stage of the rollout and later this month the second stage in which the Poco F1 is listed to receive MIUI 12 will begin.

No official announcements about the Pocophone F1 MIUI 12 stable update has been made yet but the device has been receiving constant security updates from the OEM which is a good sign.

MIUI 12 is being tested on multiple devices and stable updates are expected to roll out in a couple of months. We also reported earlier that Poco F1 may get the stable MIUI 12 update in August, you can check out the complete story here.
