It is important to note that this is a MIUI 12 Stable Beta update. For those who don’t know, stable beta builds are essentially the final stable builds, they are first sent to beta testers for weeding out any bugs or software issues. After taking feedback from beta users, Xiaomi fixes the small errors, if there are any, and rolls out the same update for all the Xiaomi users.
Regular users can try installing the update through themanual update process, however, they will most likely come across an error. There is always an option to sideload the update via a custom recovery like TWRP, but that would requireunlocking the bootloader.
Now that Xiaomi has begun rolling out MIUI 12 Global update to Redmi Note 8 Pro, we expect other devices that are part of the Pilot program will also get the update in the next few days.
