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

Original story (published on July 28, 2020) follows:

Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro might have already been succeeded twice by the Redmi Note 8 Pro and then recently the Redmi Note 9 Pro, but the early-2019 release still remains one of the devices to beat in its price segment.

Out of the box, the device has MIUI 11 running the show atop Android 9 Pie OS. Quite understandable considering the two were the latest software iterations at Xiaomi’s disposal back then. Things have changed, though.

Over a year down the line, the same software still runs the show, albeit with some minor improvements along the way. But this comes to an end today, at least for those eying the latest MIUI skin from Xiaomi – the MIUI 12.

Announced for the global market in May, MIUI 12 has been rolling out gradually to multiple Xiaomi devices in various regions. Today marks the end for Redmi Note 7 Pro owners in India, but there is a catch.

Unless you signed up for a place in the Mi Pilot program a few weeks back, there is no place for your Note 7 Pro unit aboard the MIUI 12 ship. Instead, you will have to wait for the official rollout in the coming weeks.

Sure, we do have the download link with us, but it is possible the same rules that applied to the initial Redmi Note 8 Pro MIUI 12 update may apply to the incoming Redmi Note 7 Pro MIUI 12 update. This means that manually flashing the MIUI 12 ROM may brick your Note 7 Pro handset, so only take this route at your own risk.

We will keep an eye on more related developments and let you know when the wider rollout begins. Stay tuned to PiunikaWeb.

Update 1 (August 11)

Xiaomi has now released the official Android 10 update for the Redmi Note 7 Pro in India. This new OS update brings along the older MIUI 11 skin rather than the expected MIUI 12 skin for the device. See the full story here.

Update 2 (September 19)

03: 15 pm (IST): The stable MIUI 12 update is now rolling out for the Redmi Note 7 Pro devices in India as version 12.0.1.0.QFHINXM. For those not interested in waiting for the OTA, here is the download link:

06: 15 pm (IST): User interaction at the Telegram groups suggests the MIUI 12 update for the Redmi Note 7 Pro devices is limited to beta testers only, as non-beta testers are not able to install the package. So the wait is not over yet, at least not for the non-beta testers.

Update 3 (September 21)

01:22 pm (IST): The official announcement for the release of the MIUI 12 Beta Stable ROM for the Redmi Note 7 Pro in India is now live. Of course, the stable update should roll out after it’s clear that there are no major flaws in the Beta Stable build.

Update 4 (October 10)

03:30 pm (IST): Several Redmi Note 7 Pro users have begun reporting that the MIUI 12 update has begun rolling out in India, thus hinting towards a wider release. More details here.
