Many Xiaomi users keep looking askance at the news to see if they finally receive their update to the latest version of both, both MIUI and Android, and in this case they are in luck, since they will finally be able to enjoy all the features we’ve been seeing in the latest version of the cape.
They finally have Android 11
Let’s remember that these phones arrived on the market with Android 9 Pie, back in late 2019. Now we know that there are two new updates, the V12.5.1.0.QCNINXM for Redmi 8 / Dual and V12.5.1.0.QCPINXM for the Redmi 8A. Both updates bring us Android 11 under the MIUI 12.5 layer. And it is that the last update of the layer that these phones had received we saw at the end of last year, with MIUI 12.
Therefore, users of these phones will not only have all the news of the latest Google operating system, but they will also be able to enjoy all those news that has Xiaomi introduced in his cape. Undoubtedly one of the main novelties that we are going to see in this update is the new control panel, which, as you know, coexists with the Android notification panel.
What’s new in these updates
There are many news that come along with these updates, as we say both behind the operating system and the layer. Above all, users will enjoy a performance improvement. We find, for example, an instant response to gestures, up to 20 times more rendering power showing more elements on the screen. We can also enjoy new settings that directly affect the performance of the terminal, MIUI in general is lighter, which benefits that better performance. In addition, along with these updates, users of the Redmi 8 and 8A receive the July 2021 security patch.
There’s also other MIUI news, for example notes, such as the ability to scribble and draw with new tools, automatically adjust object strokes, gesture shortcuts, make extracts that contain text, URLs or images. In short, the most important update that these phones could receive, since it is possible that they will not see Android 12, unlike MIUI 13, which should be updated in the coming months, since in its layer, Xiaomi usually increases the timing of updates.
