The Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 was released last year alongside the Redmi Note 8 Pro and MIUI 11 for India. While the Redmi Note 8 Pro hogged all the limelight thanks to the gaming-focused MediaTek Helio G90T, the Redmi Note 8 flew under the radar for playing it safe with the Snapdragon 665, despite our review praising the phone. If you purchased the phone, here’s some good news for you: the Redmi Note 8 is finally receiving Android 10, and it comes along with MIUI 12 update.
The Redmi Note 8 launched in India with MIUI 10 based on Android 9 Pie. A bit after launch, the phone received its stable MIUI 11 update. While many other Xiaomi phones have received their MIUI 12 stable updates already, the Redmi Note 8 finally gets it on the Global region. The phone did previously get MIUI 12 based on Android, but the update was restricted to the Chinese region.

Keep in mind that this update is still considered as “stable-beta”. Stable-beta updates are only intended for users enrolled within the Mi Pilot beta testing program, meaning that builds assigned for this group will not install on devices with Mi Accounts that do not have the requisite permission. Once the Mi Pilot beta testers give positive feedback, the same build then gets opened up as a stable release, creating a lot of confusion — the same build might first fail to install, but then it will make an appearance through the official OTA. If you get the error message that the update is for closed beta testers only, you can sideload the update through TWRP. If Xiaomi finds that there are no showstopper bugs, the update will be opened up for all Redmi Note 8 users without any changes.
The changelog for this update is as follows:
- [System]
- Stable MIUI based on Android 10
- Updated Android Security Patch to September 2020. Increased system security
While the changelog is not very long, this is an important update. It brings along all the changes that MIUI 12 brings along, as well as all of the changes that Android 10 brought along under-the-hood.
