Xiaomi delights select Redmi Note 8 users. They can join Android 11

Xiaomi has finally taken the step that many Redmi Note 8 smartphone users have long dreamed of. Now they can join the Android 11 operating system.

Unfortunately, Android 11 was not released as a stable version of MIUI 12, but as a test MIUI 12.5 and for a limited circle, one might say – a select few. The firmware is available for Chinese users as part of a closed beta test.

Xiaomi previously reported that the first stable builds of MIUI 12.5 will be available in April. However, Redmi Note 8 is not included in the “first wave” of the update and will receive a stable version at a later date. Also, the release dates for the international market outside of China are still unknown.

Meanwhile, the stable MIUI 12 based on Android 10 is available for Redmi Note 8.
