Updated on November 06, 2020: Today Xiaomi rolled the MIUI 12 update to Mi 8 with build number V12.0.1.0.QEAMIXM. The update brings a lot of new features and improvements. It is based on Android 10.

The Chinese OEM Xiaomi started pushing MIUI 11.0.5.0 Global Stable ROM for Mi 8 (Codename: dipper) with software version V11.0.5.0.QEAMIXM. This update is still based on Android 10. If you have not received the update, then manually you can download and install the update by following the guide below along with download links and requirements.

The new MIUI 11.0.5.0 update (Android 10) for Mi 8 is rolling out globally via OTA in a phased manner and will take a few days to appear on all the units. It brings the April 2020 Android Security Patch that fixes bugs and improves system security. Additionally, the update brings support for all apps under app locks and revamped the start page. If you want to install this update on your Mi 8 (dipper) then you can either check for OTA updates or manually flash the firmware from the full step-by-step guide below.

Manually Check OTA Updates

Keep in mind that all the incremental OTA update roll-out always hit a limited number of units initially. Then the broader roll-out process starts and takes some time to arrive on all the units completely. So, it’s better to check for OTA updates manually to get notified.

In order to do that, go to the phone Settings > About Phone > Software update. Additionally, you can perform this task via the Software Updater app directly. If the software version is available, you can grab it.

Before downloading the OTA update, make sure to charge the phone battery up to 50% minimum and connect to a Wi-Fi network.

However, if you’re not getting the latest OTA update due to some unfortunate reason, don’t worry. You can follow the firmware installation guide below for your Xiaomi Mi 8 model.
