Redmi K20 Pro Starts Receiving MIUI 12 Global Stable ROM Update in India, Xiaomi Confirms

Redmi K20 Pro is now receiving the MIUI 12 update in India. The company has confirmed that the MIUI 12 Global Stable ROM update is rolling out for users in India, just a few days after the Redmi K20 update started receiving it. Xiaomi unveiled MIUI 12 in April this year, and the rollout began in late June. The Redmi K20 series is part of the first batch of phones to receive the MIUI 12 update. Other phones in this first batch include Mi 10 Pro, Mi 10, Mi 10 Youth Edition, Mi 9 Pro 5G, Mi 9 Transparent Edition, Mi 9, Redmi K30 Pro Zoom Edition, Redmi K30 Pro, Redmi K30 5G, and Redmi K30.

The company had announced via its Twitter handle earlier this month that the MIUI 12 Global Stable ROM has started rolling out for Mi 9T Pro, Mi 9T, Mi 9, Redmi K20 Pro, and Redmi K20. Redmi K20 users in India started receiving the update soon after, and now Redmi K20 Pro users in India have started receiving it too. This update could roll out in a staged manner, and it may be a while before all users are able to see it.

Redmi K20 Pro users should get notified of the update when it arrives, but users should manually check by heading to Settings > About phone > System update and then select Check for update. PunikaWeb has shared a screenshot of the update, and it comes with version number V12.0.1.0.QFKINXM. The size of the update is listed to be 2.3GB.
