Mi 8 Lite has reached EOL (end-of-life) status in Xiaomi's official catalog: support has ended, new firmware and security patches are no longer released, and the device will not receive MIUI 13.
The new MIUI 12.5 update is not necessarily the best. Before updating Mi 8 Lite (platina), read reviews on XDA Developers or the Mi Community forum. If installing a Flash File, full ROM, or the new OTA update caused issues, please let us know in the comments and mention the firmware region and version number.
