A new software update is what many smartphone owners live for. After all, this is the only way a phone’s performance can be improved after purchasing it from the vendor.
Over the years, Xiaomi has proven to be one dedicated company when it comes to providing users with new features through its prolonged MIUI updates. The company is notorious for pushing up to three or more MIUI updates to some of its devices, tagging along a flurry of new features.
While some devices hardly get major Android OS updates while at it, they end up with some of the new features that Google bakes into the new OS via these MIUI overhauls. The latest, MIUI 12 update, will be ready for a stable rollout in June, but only for the China ROM.
No one knows when the global ROM will gain support for MIUI 12, but it shouldn’t be long after the China ROM leaves the beta channel. And according to a moderator in the Mi forums, this is when Mi, Redmi, and Poco devices can expect to get updates with new features.
Security patch updates comes with the Stable ROM as always, which are released every 30-60 days. Until MIUI 12 is released, no feature updates will be available – the updates will focus only on stability and bug fixes, along with security patches.

Sure, there will still be new software updates between now and the release of the stable MIUI 12 update. However, these will only focus on improving system stability, fixing bugs, and patching up security holes. That’s still a welcome idea if you ask me.

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.
