After releasing MIUI 12.5 stable updates for the Mi 10T, Mi 10T Pro, and the POCO X3 Pro in India over the last few weeks, Xiaomi has now started rolling out a beta build for the Redmi K20 Pro. The update brings a host of new features to the popular flagship killer, including new functionality in the Notes app, status bar/notification shade updates, and much more.

If you'd like to try MIUI 12.5 on your Redmi K20 Pro ahead of the stable rollout, you can download the beta build from the link below. Do note that since it's a Mi Pilot release, you won't be able to flash it using the local update method unless your Mi account is authorized. You can, however, flash it using a custom recovery like TWRP. If you're not familiar with the process, you can follow the instructions given in this post to get started.
