Android 12 update is bricking Xiaomi Mi 11 series smartphones

A report by Gizchina says that the beta MIUI systems based on Android 12 are bricking Xiaomi Mi 11 devices. 

The updates in question include the V12.5.1.0.SKBMIXM, V12.5.1.0.SKKMIXM, V12.5.1.0.SKAMIXM – and these were made available to a few unfortunate pilot testers. 

According to the report, the only way to fix a bricked phone caused by any of these updates will require a trip to the service center.  

As you may already know, the brand announced the Android 12 updates for both the Mi 11 series devices as well as the Redmi K40 series – this could spell a setback for Xiaomi in their efforts to rollout the update alongside the likes of OPPO and Google.
