The Redmi Go, like all other Android Go phones, is placed in the budget segment. Now, the Redmi Go phone has launched in India and its key highlights, apart from the stock Android experience, are the HD display, over 20 languages support, a 3,000mAh battery, and a dedicated microSD card slot. The smartphone was unveiled in China first, and was later made available in Philippines in February. Last but not least, it is not sure if the Redmi Y3 will ever get the MIUI 12 update.In January, Xiaomi dabbled into the Android Go ecosystem with its new Redmi Go smartphone. Similarly, the MIUI 12 Fastboot ROM for Redmi 6 and Redmi 6A are also only available for the Chinese variants.Īs of now, there’s no official word on whether these three phones will be awarded the latest MIUI update in international words. It is worth noting that though MIUI 12 and MIUI 12.5 are available through OTA for Redmi 7, the update is still limited to China. There are stutters and app opening times are longer. Xiaomi warns that these two phones do not run smoothly on MIUI 12. Interested users can unlock the bootloader of their phone using Xiaomi Mi Unlock Tool and install the firmware via Xiaomi Mi Flash Tool. Therefore, the update is only available as ‘Fastboot ROM’. Because the hardware of these two smartphones cannot handle the new software efficiently. In an official Xiaomi Mi Community post (via Xiaomi Firmware Updater ), the company says that it will not roll out the MIUI 12 update for Redmi 6 and Redmi 6A users via OTA (over-the-air).

But unfortunately, the update is not meant for everyone. Hence, there was a hope that the remaining three devices could receive the MIUI 12 update someday. In fact, this handset recently even received the MIUI 12.5 update. But anyway, the firm delivered the update for Redmi 7.

Xiaomi dropped the plans to update the above-listed smartphones to MIUI 12 citing performance issues. Now, the Redmi 6 and the Redmi 6A are also getting a similar treatment but with a catch. However, the company surprised everyone by releasing the update for Redmi 7.

Back in December 2020, Xiaomi canceled the MIUI 12 update for a bunch of devices, namely Redmi Y3, Redmi 7, Redmi 6, and Redmi 6A.
