Xiaomi Android 12, MIUI 13 Update Tracker: List of Eligible Devices, Release Date

Android 12 was announced in February 2021 for developers. Google will be releasing several updates to the developer preview channel before making the OS available for public beta testing.

Like others before it, Android 12 beta is expected to go public in Q2. Of course, there’s still no exact date, but you can expect it soon.

The past couple or so Android iterations saw Xiaomi and other non-Google vendors join the testing program around this time. And we expect nothing different.

Two weeks ago, a list of Xiaomi, Redmi, POCO and Black Shark models appeared on the network that can count on receiving the Android 12 update. This is not an official list, but it was assured by the creators that it was compiled taking into account the Xiaomi support policy and based on data received from MIUI developers.

It has been two weeks and now there are some corrections. POCO C3, POCO M2 and POCO M2 Reloaded dropped out of the contenders for Android 12. There is no longer any doubt that Redmi Note 9 4G, Redmi 9 T and Redmi 9 Power will get Android 12. There has been a replenishment in the list of devices on which the twelfth version of the green robot is already being tested.

The flagship devices now include Xiaomi Mi 11 series, Xiaomi Mi 10, Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro, Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra, Xiaomi Mi 10T, Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro and Redmi K30 S Ultra. This means that they will be among the first to update to the stable version of Android 12.

Which Xiaomi will receive Android 12

As for the timing and priority of the release of updates, there is no information. We also remind that this list is not official and we expect the final shortlist of smartphones for receiving Android 12 in August simultaneously with the announcement of MIUI 13 or in September, when the final assembly of Android 12 should be presented.

As for MIUI 13, here is an approximate list of smartphones that will receive it:

The MIUI 13 update list will include multiple Redmi, Xiaomi and Poco phones. The MIUI 13 update will be rolled over in batches as the current MIUI 12.5 generation. Here’s the first list of leaked smartphones said to receive MIUI 13 update.

However, what we have learnt from the previous pattern of MIUI release dates, we can’t deny the fact that the update could be announced  before the year runs out, first in China and then globally.

Mi 11 series

Mi 10 series

Mi Fold

Redmi Note 10 series

Redmi Note 9 series

Mi MIX Alpha

Redmi K40 series

Redmi K30 series

Redmi K20 series

Redmi 9 series

Redmi 10X series

POCO X3 series

POCO X2

POCO M2 series

POCO X2 Pro/ POCO X2 Pro

Black Shark 3 series

Black Shark 2 series

As a reminder, Xiaomi adopts a unique firmware update strategy; its devices may get the latest user interface version of MIUI but still based on an old Android version.
