Hi everyone,

I have a Redmi Note 8 Pro (Global version, RGGMIXM). I’m currently running on MIUI 12.5.1 Stable.

I’ve been offered an update to version 12.5.8 Stable.

Since my phone is getting a bit old now and I’m generally happy with the current 12.5.1 version, I’m hesitant to apply this update to 12.5.8.

I’ve read that sometimes updates, even minor point releases, can introduce new bugs, affect battery life, or not bring noticeable improvements, especially on older devices. On the other hand, they can contain important security patches or stability fixes.

I wanted to ask if any of you who own a Redmi Note 8 Pro (specifically the RGGMIXM version) have updated to 12.5.8?

* Have you noticed any significant changes? (e.g., performance, battery drain/improvement, overall stability)
* Have you encountered any new bugs or issues since updating?
* In your opinion, is it worth upgrading to 12.5.8, or is it better to stay on 12.5.1 if everything is working fine?

Any feedback or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
