Strangely, the small and cheap Redmi 7A was one of the first smartphones to be updated to the MIUI 11 Global Stable, while for what concerns the MIUI 12 there was no trace until poco does. Yet something is moving, as the company is completing the work of updating old devices, also including the Redmi 7A, a smartphone that could see the latest major update in MIUI 12.
Even the small Redmi 7A updates to MIUI 12
In fact, the device appeared on the scene with the old MIUI 10 and only now can it boast the wonders of MIUI 12, which we reiterate could be the last release as the hardware used in the phone would not be able to support the weight of the graphic customizations that for example we find on MIUI 12.5 net of the optimizations that the ROM brings as a dowry. In any case, the news of the update to MIUI 12 of Redmi 7A is still a good thing, confirming that the brand is also attentive to the cheapest models in its catalog, releasing software support up to the last of the possibilities.
In particular, the update to MIUI 12 for Redmi 7A was released with the MIUI version V12.0.2.0.QCMCNXM, therefore currently available in China Stable format, but this opens the door to a release in a Global version in the very future. close. However, the update does not update the Android version, confirming the firmware version 10 which will never be updated to Android 11, for the same reasons mentioned for MIUI 12.5.
