Maybe with a delayed burst or maybe not, what matters is that the company does not abandon the "weakest". Don't want to, but objectively Redmi 8A is a rather basic smartphone when compared with what today's market offers us, yet Xiaomi also dedicates to him the update to the MIUI 12 Stable which in recent days is increasingly present on devices of a time, like the Redmi 7A and the Note 6 pro to name a few.
The time has come for Redmi 8A to upgrade to MIUI 12 Stable
In particular, the update to MIUI 12 for Redmi 8A is released with the MIUI V12.0.1.0.QCPEUCM version, therefore currently available in EEA Stable format, or for all those devices released with ROM specifically designed for the European market, but this opens the door to a Global version release in the very near future. However, the update does not update the Android version, confirming the firmware version 10 which will never be updated to Android 11 probably for the hardware poco promising, as well as MIUI 12.5 will not see light on this device.
