MIUI 12.5 will arrive to the POCO F3 as well. The update applies to European phone models with software version numbers “V12.5.3.0.RKHEUXM” and “V12.5.3.0.RKHRUXM”. Since the build numbers are identical, they are probably the same update. But unlike the update for the POCO X3 NFC, this smartphone received the June security patch, not the July security patch.
