The MIUI 12 update will start rolling out to users from end of June.

MIUI 12 stresses on privacy and security, and is certified by TUV Rheinland.

Super Wallpapers, new multitasking features and update UI are some highlights on MIUI 12.

Acouple of weeks ago, Xiaomi revealed its MIUI 12 for the Chinese market, with lots of visual changes and mega feature upgrades. With a few tweaks, Xiaomi has now released MIUI 12 for the global markets and that also includes India. MIUI 12 for global markets is almost identical to the Chinese version, complete with the improved UI elements and those popular Super Wallpapers. Xiaomi plans to start releasing the update to its phone by the end of June.

The best part about MIUI 12 is that it is coming to phone as old as the Redmi Note 5 as well as to the latest flagship models. Last year’s Redmi K20 and Redmi K20 Pro, which were also sold as the Mi 9T and Mi 9T Pro in Europe, will be the first to get the update. Xiaomi says users can expect to see the update rollout by end of June as part of the Phase 1.

Rest of all the phones eligible for the update are part of the phase 2 and there’s no assigned timeline to it. The phase 2 includes the latest models such as Mi 10 5G, Redmi Note 9 series, Redmi Note 8 series and all other Mi series flagships from the last two years. The Poco X2, which is essentially a rebranded Redmi K30 5G, is also scheduled to get the update in phase 2. Many of the budget phones under the Redmi series are also eligible, such as the Redmi Note 5, Redmi Note 5 Pro, Redmi 6A, Redmi 6 and all newer models from Redmi.
