Redmi 6 & 6A: Receive Update on MIUI 12 - But Avoid Installing It

Although the Xiaomi had stated that they would not receive any updates on MIUI 12 the Redmi 6 and Redmi 6A, now the company and made available a “problematic”Upgrade to MIUI 12 for these devices.


Mafter its revelation MIUI 12 in April last year, the Xiaomi had published a list of suitable devices that will receive the update. However, on this list the company had to remove four devices due to compatibility and performance issues.

In this list of devices that will not receive an update to MIUI 12, are included Redmi Y3, Redmi 7, Redmi 6 and Redmi 6A. Naturally, this "exclusion" had disappointed the owners of the above devices, as the Redmi 6 and 6A had only received one major upgrade to Android and two upgrades to MIUI, while Redmi Y3 and Redmi 7 had not received any upgrade to Andriod and only one upgrade to MIUI.

Although Xiaomi had stated that these four devices mentioned above would not receive any updates on MIUI 12, now the company seems to have succumbed to pressure from its owners Redmi 6 and Redmi 6A, and made the upgrade available at MIUI 12 for these devices.



So according to one recent post made by the company in community forums, its fixed version MIUI 12 for Redmi 6 and Redmi 6A is now available for download. However, the company recommends do not install the build on these devices due to performance issues.

Specifically, as announced by Xiaomi:

After a year of customization, the firmware version of MIUI 12 for Redmi6 and Redmi6A is ready for upgrade. However, after testing by the company's mobile software R&D department, due to the poor hardware performance of these two models, the stable version MIUI12 does not meet the quality standards for the full version via OTA. For this reason, and because there may be performance issues with the devices, the upgrade is only available on a fastboot ROM for those who want to try it out manually via the Mi Flash app.

In other words, as the company emphasizes, this is its "fixed" version MIUI 12 for Redmi 6 and Redmi 6A will not provide smooth performance, and users may experience severe performance issues with their devices.

But if despite the warnings announced by Xiaomi you still want to try your luck, then you can download these versions from the links below.

It is worth noting that the new MIUI 12 Fastboot ROM for these devices is still based on Android 9 Pie and not in Android 10 or newer.

In our opinion, it is USEFUL this upgrade since it will only offer problems in the performance of the devices, and we are really surprised with the purpose of this decision of Xiaomi.

From the moment it MIUI 12 it is a "Heavy" Skin for the Hardware of these devices, we do not think such a problematic upgrade will serve anything.
