Here's when your Xiaomi, Redmi, or POCO phone will get the MIUI 12 update

Xiaomi is going to start rolling out MIUI 12 from June. Here's when your phone will receive the update.

MIUI 12 is now official, with Xiaomi's latest skin offering an array of new features. Some of those features include an improved system-wide dark mode, AI-assisted calling features, Dynamic Always-on Display, new visual design, tweaks to system animations, and much-needed privacy fixes.

The stable build of MIUI 12 will begin rolling out from next month in China, with the global models picking up the update later in the year. Here's when your Xiaomi, Redmi, or POCO phone will receive the MIUI 12 update.

MIUI 12 update: When it is rolling out?

A tentative MIUI 12 update schedule has been shared by the MIUI team on Weibo, and this gives us an indication as to when your phone will likely receive the update. Based on the release notes, the MIUI 12 update will start rolling out to Xiaomi phones in China sometime in June.

The update schedule is primarily aimed at MIUI's Chinese audience, and isn't indicative of when the update will be rolled out to the global variants of Xiaomi phones. MIUI has two branches: a version tailored for China, and a global ROM with Google Mobile Services — including the Play Store, Gmail, Drive, YouTube, Chrome, and others — for other markets.

At this point, we don't know when the MIUI 12 update will be making its way to the global variants of Xiaomi phones. Xiaomi usually shares its plans a few weeks after the China update is posted, and with the Mi 10 series slated to make its debut in India shortly, it is possible we'll hear more about the global rollout of MIUI 12 during the event.
