New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….

Original story (published on August 26, 2020) follows:

Xiaomi Mi MIX 3 is listed in the second round of the MIUI 12 update rollout schedule and the Chinese Mi MIX 3 variant has already bagged the latest custom skin. This was expected as the OEM always provides the latest updates in the home-country first.

Users of the Mi MIX 3 across the globe have been waiting for the MIUI 12 update as Xiaomi usually starts providing the update in other regions after 2-3 weeks. Now, it seems that the wait is finally over, at least for select users.

The OEM has announced that the MIUI 12 Global Beta Stable update is now rolling out to the Mi MIX 3. This means that the Mi Pilot program members can finally get their hands on the latest custom skin from Xiaomi.

The official announcement has been made on the global Mi community outlining the update version V12.0.1.0.QEEMIXM. So, you can grab the Mi MIX 3 MIUI 12 Global Beta Stable update if you are a Mi Pilot program member.
