In the past few days, Xiaomi’s newest skin – MIUI 12.5 made its appearance on many mid-range phones. Although, Yesterday, the company had pushed the useful update to the Redmi 9. Now the last year’s affordable smartphones, Redmi 8A and 8A Dual have received MIUI 12.5 update. The latest update comes with a flurry of new features and changes. Here you can check everything about Redmi 8A and Redmi 8A Dual MIUI 12.5 update.
Both models were announced back in 2019 with Android Pie 9.0 OS. Xiaomi released Android 10 update for both phones last year, later, the device received MIUI 12 update. Now users are started receiving the latest MIUI 12.5 update in India.
The latest update lands on Redmi 8A with 12.5.1.0.QCPINXM software version, while the 8A Dual received it with 12.5.1.0.QCQINXM build number. Definitely, this is a major update, but it is still based on Android 10 OS. Obviously, it weighs higher than the security patch updates. So, I suggest connecting your device to a stable Wi-Fi connection for faster downloading.
Talking about the features and changes, then Xiaomi pushes its newest skin to Redmi 8A and 8A Dual with improved gesture response, 20x faster rendering, and some other features. It also brings changes to the Notes app, like new tools for doodling and sketching, dynamic layouts, gesture shortcuts, and more. The update also bumps up the monthly security patch version to July 2021. Here’s the complete changelog.
