Original story (published on March 23, 2020) follows:

In an official announcement made earlier today (March 23, 2020) detailing the incoming update version MIUI 11 beta 20.3.23, Xiaomi’s development team has revealed some interesting news that fans will relish.

In the announcement, the team revealed that this week will mark the last week of MIUI 11 beta updates, suggesting that the development of the next MIUI 12 update based on Android 11 may actually begin pretty soon.

When loosely translated (via Google Translate), the highlighted section in the screenshot above says this week’s MIUI 11 beta update, which is expected to arrive on March 26, will be the final release in the MIUI 11 beta channel.

Hi everyone! This week is the last week of the development version of MIUI 11, and it will be suspended for a period of time starting next week. I believe that good things will happen.

Xiaomi also says the MIUI beta program will be suspended after this week, further adding more weight to the suggestion that MIUI 12 update development is around the corner. If anything, this could mean an earlier release for the internal beta, which is allegedly scheduled for September 2020.

Tech has been my playground for over a decade. While the Android journey began early, it truly took flight with the revolutionary Lollipop update. Since then, it's been a parade of Android devices (with a sprinkle of iOS), culminating in a mostly happy marriage with Google's smart home ecosystem. Expect insightful articles and explorations of the ever-evolving world of Android and Google products coupled with occasional rants on the Nest smart home ecosystem.
