Xiaomi has begun to distribute the stable MIUI 12 branded user interface for the Redmi Note 8T smartphone users in the international market.
The stable firmware 12.0.1.0.QCXMIXM for Redmi Note 8T is based on last year’s Android 10 operating system. In addition to the standard MIUI 12 innovations, the update brings the Android security update for October 2020.
The firmware has already become available for users of the global version of Redmi Note 8T. Smartphones with European firmware will be updated a little later. The update has the status “Partially Released”. This means only about 30% of users received it. After Xiaomi is convinced that there are no major bugs, widespread expansion will begin.
Recall that the Redmi Note 8T smartphone was presented last fall. It has become an updated version of the popular Redmi Note 8 with NFC support and 18-watt charging.

Gizchina News of the week
What kind of model it would be, we do not know. But a number of insiders suggested that the company will bring the Xiaomi Mi 10T to the Chinese market, but under a different name. It is assumed that the smartphone will become part of the Redmi K30 series and it may well be called the Redmi K30T, and its price tag will be lower than what is asked for the global version.
But whether the Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro and Mi 10T Lite models will come to the Chinese market is unknown. There is no information exactly when Redmi K30T will be presented, but at the level of assumptions, they say that the premiere will take place in October.
