The Poco X3 Pro was launched in India earlier this year and the smartphone is apparently receiving the new MIUI 12.5 update in a limited and phased manner. And by this we mean that not all devices will be getting the update simultaneously, but a limited number of smartphones are receiving it.

According to a tweet by Poco India country director Anuj Sharma, the MIUI 12.5 global stable version is rolling out. The version mentioned in the tweet is 12.5.2.0 (RJUINXM) with the Android version being 11 RKQ1.200826.002. The security update is dated 2012-06-01.

According to Sharma, the reason for the limited release is to monitor if any possible network or app that's not part of our test case behaves different from intended. Once the developers notice that there are no major issues, they will initiate the wider release.

This makes it the only phone with a Snapdragon 8 series processor in this segment.

For photography, the Poco X3 Pro has four cameras on the back. There’s a 48MP f/1.79 primary camera, an 8MP ultra-wide lens, a 2MP macro shooter and a 2MP depth sensor.
