The Mi 8 Pro was Xiaomi’s flagship smartphone of 2018. The device has now started receiving a system update in global markets. The latest software build for the handset arrives after a year from the last update, which was released at the end of 2020. But still, it does not bring MIUI 12.5.
Xiaomi has begun to roll out a new system update for Mi 8 Pro in international markets. The latest update is currently live for two regional variants, namely Global and Russia. It is being pushed with the following build numbers.
Unfortunately, the changelog for the update does not mention anything interesting. It merely says that the new software build optimizes system performance and improves system security as well as stability.
In China, the phone has already bagged MIUI 12.5 update in late November. But for some reason, Xiaomi is delaying the same update for international markets.
At present, we are not sure if the Mi 8 Pro will get access to MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition. But we can say for sure is that the handset is not eligible for MIUI 13.
The Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro launched with MIUI 9 based on Android 8.1 Oreo. Throughout its lifetime, it has received two Android updates (Android 9.0, 10) and three MIUI updates (MIUI 10, 11, 12).
