According to Canalys data, Xiaomi, which is the third largest smartphone manufacturer in the world, is currently on the agenda with the MIUI interface that brings its phones to life. The company, which continues to send the MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition version to its devices, on the other hand, is making the final touches on MIUI 13, which is expected to be introduced on December 16.
While Xiaomi users around the world are counting down for the new version, it has recently emerged that a model has received the silent MIUI 12 update. Here are the details…
Redmi Note 8 gets MIUI 12 update
Redmi Note 8, which was released in 2019 and achieved great sales success in global markets, has received two major updates, Android 11 and MIUI 12, as of today. The device, which could not show its success in updating the sales figures, was relatively slow compared to other models. As it will be remembered, it took a year for the smartphone running Android 9 Pie to get Android 10 when it debuted.
At this point, there was a similar process, and Redmi Note 8 started receiving the Android 11-based MIUI 12 update exactly one year after its last major update. The update, published with a size of over 2 GB and software number MIUI 12.0.1.0.RCOINXM, also includes the October security patch.
Of course, one of the most striking features that came with the new version is the virtual RAM feature, which has become extremely popular lately. As it is known, the feature in question allocates a certain space from storage and transfers it to RAM. For this reason, it is very important that the internal storage is high for the feature to work efficiently. The fact that Redmi Note 8 has two options, 64 GB and 128 GB, which can be considered low, also caused the virtual RAM feature to be supported up to a maximum of 1 GB.
That’s all the information about the update for now. Finally, it is a matter of curiosity which updates the smartphone will receive in the future. However, the device is not expected to receive Android 12 after this time. On the contrary, there is still hope for Android 11-based MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition and MIUI 13.
