Xiaomi has made the MIUI 12 Global stable ROM for the Redmi Note 8 Pro available as part of a wider rollout. The software update for the Global variant of the Redmi Note 8 Pro had already been partially rolled out but now everyone with this particular model should soon find an update notification awaiting them.

The MIUI 12 software version V12.0.2.0.QGGMIXM (with “MI” indicating the update is for Global variants) for the Redmi Note 8 Pro started being rolled out last month, but this was only a partial rollout aimed at those who had taken part in Xiaomi’s testing scheme. However, the Chinese OEM has now officially announced that the MIUI 12 Global stable ROM for the Redmi Note 8 Pro is fully available to all users of this particular smartphone.

Owners of the Global version of the Redmi Note 8 Pro can either wait for the MIUI 12 stable update to reach them via OTA or download the software directly from Xiaomi’s official links (update flash 2.4 GB; fastboot flash 3.8 GB). A full changelog can be viewed below, but Redmi Note 8 Pro owners should be aware that they won’t be able to use certain popular features such as Super Wallpapers.

However, Redmi Note 8 Pro (Global) smartphone users will get to enjoy MIUI 12 features such as new animated icons, dynamic backgrounds, a lite mode, and “dynamic window technology”. The V12.0.2.0.QGGMIXM software update for the popular Redmi device also brings an Android security patch dated up to June 2020 with it.
