While this update is based on MIUI 11, the Redmi 8 and Redmi Note 7 are expected to receive Xiaomi’s latest custom skin, MIUI 12. However, the Chinese and Indian Redmi Note 7 variants have already received the MIUI 12 update.

Also, it must be noted that Xiaomi currently provides only one OS update to its Redmi series devices. This means that the Redmi 8 and Redmi Note 7 might not get another OS update. Hopefully, Xiaomi changes this pattern in the future.

Nevertheless, custom ROMs like LineageOS and more are also there to provide OS support to such devices. So, if you are into custom ROMs and also like to play around with your device, the unofficial Android 10-based LineageOS 17.1 ROM is available for Xiaomi Redmi 8.
