Redmi Note 10S, the new budget smartphone from Xiaomi will make its official debut in India this week. While the launch is just a few days away, the device is said to have been receiving the update to MIUI 12.5.

As per a GSMArena report, the MIUI 12.5 builds for the Redmi Note 10S are numbered 12.5.2.0.RLLINXM for India, 12.5.3.0.RKLEUXM for Europe, and 12.5.5.0.RKLMIXM for other global markets. The update is said to be either pre-installed on the units or be made available as a ‘day-one’ update following the device unboxing.

To recall, the latest MIUI firmware build was introduced in China last December which was followed by the global announcement in February 2021. The new custom ROM skin bags a plethora of features including refreshed “MIUI Light Cone Motion Effect Architecture” that comes with ‘dedicated thread of gestures,’ priority scheduling, revamped notification sounds, dynamic wallpapers, privacy-focused features like clipboard protection, uninstallable system apps, MIUI+ that mirror cast a phone to a desktop, among others.

While the latest MIUI build is slowly paving its way to Xiaomi and Redmi devices, the rollout to the Redmi Note 10S will surely be a welcoming gesture for Mi fans in India. That said, the Chinese brand will showcase the new Redmi Note series phone in India on May 13.
