[Update: Rolling for Mi 11i] Xiaomi Mi 11X MIUI 12.5 stable update goes live in India (download link inside), Poco F3 next in line?

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

Original story (published on May 28, 2021) follows:

The Mi 11X is yet another one of those devices from Xiaomi that goes by different names depending on the region you purchase it from.

The phone is also known as the Redmi K40 in China and is sold under the umbrella of the Poco brand as the Poco F3 in the rest of the world.

We previously highlighted how the device bagged an update last month that brought along with it the April security patch as well as a bunch of Dolby Atmos audio customization options.

Xiaomi/Poco has also been working on fixing some of the commonly faced issues plaguing the device including delayed touch response, battery drain, random reboot issues, display green tint, and proximity sensor issues.

While a couple of these issues have already been ironed out, at least on the global Poco F3, a large majority of the bugs still remain to be addressed.

The need of the hour is a major bug-fixing update that will address all of the aforementioned issues as soon as possible. And now, with the recently released MIUI 12.5 update, a window of hope has opened.

For the uninitiated, MIUI 12.5 brings along several changes and new features with the most notable ones being performance improvements, enhanced privacy features, an updated Notes app, new animations, and some UI tweaks.

The download link for the Android 11-based MIUI 12.5 update for the Xiaomi Mi 11X has been given below:
