Last Month, Xiaomi has announced the Android 12 recruitment program for Mi 11 series. Now as Google officially released the source code of Android 12 OS, a couple of smartphone OEMs has kicked-off the new beta builds based on Android 12. Yesterday, Samsung released the second beta build of One UI 4.0 for the Galaxy S21 lineup, Oppo started testing ColorOS 12 on Find X3 series. Now Xiaomi has kicked-off its first beta build for the Mi 11 series phones. Here’s everything you need to know about the Mi 11, Mi 11i, and Mi 11 Ultra Android 12 Beta update.
Xiaomi seeds the Android 12-based MIUI 12.5 beta firmware for the users who had opted the pilot testing program. The latest firmware on Mi 11 comes with 12.5.1.0.SKBMIXM version number, while the Mi 11i and Mi 11 Ultra receives the new update with 12.5.1.0.SKKMIXM and 12.5.1.0.SKAMIXM build numbers. As it is a major upgrade, both the OTA and recovery ROM weighs more than the usual monthly patches.
As always, the Android-12 based recovery ROM is available for sideloading on all members of Mi 11 series. Thanks to @Xiaomiui telegram channel for sharing the builds. Although, I don’t recommend you sideloading the first beta builds on your primary smartphone aka daily driver, some users are reporting hard brick issue after updating to the new firmware.
