Let's say it right away: this is not the Global version, but we know that Xiaomi Mi 8 will update to MIUI 12.5 also in our market. A few days ago, Zhang Guoquan, a manager of Xiaomi, said that the update for this device was being "adapted". Well, very soon, the Chinese version received the MIUI 12.5 in the Stable version. A good sign for us too? Undoubtedly yes, since the company has promised the arrival also for the global branch. Let's go see the details.
Xiaomi Mi 8 updates to MIUI 12.5 Stable: this is the China update, but the Global one will not be long ... every promise is a debt
According to reports from the official Chinese website and from Mi Community China, we know that the rollout of MIUI 12.5 Stable for Xiaomi Mi 8. As we said above, this is the update to MIUI 12.5 for the China branch. However, the company has promised that Xiaomi Mi 8 with ROM will also Global will be able to take advantage of all the news of MIUI 12.5. Unfortunately, however, we do not know when this update will arrive.
The update in question comes with number of build 12.5.1.0.QEACNXM (as we can see the abbreviation CN identifies the China branch). This is the very first version of MIUI 12.5 even if Mi 8 also did not receive Android 11. According to the reports it seems not and probably may not even receive it. There update release policy seems to predict that the device in question will remain stopped at Android 10. Don't despair: the world of modding is always ready to bring more updates than normal.
That said, if you have a Xiaomi Mi 8 with ROM China, we leave below the link for the download of the ROM. Obviously we remember that it is a recovery, therefore it serves unlocking the bootloader e ROM flash.
