As we can see in China, beta test ROMs/softwares are being delivered to the majority of Xiaomi devices, while some do not or are discontinued. As a result, in this post, we will discuss the new Xiaomi 12 and Redmi K50 series.
According to a recent Xiaomi article, there's something new regarding the Xiaomi 12 and Redmi K50 series.
If we read the seventh line of the released translated post above, we can see that "7. Due to the lack of recruitment requirements for the internal test version of the development version, Xiaomi 12 Pro, Xiaomi 12, Redmi K50G, Redmi K50 Pro, Redmi K50, Redmi K40S are only recruiting the development version for public beta, thank you for your understanding." This implies that these two smartphones will only receive developer builds and will not receive official China beta builds (source). Although this does not imply that the device will be discontinued immediately, it will receive fewer beta updates because China beta builds will no longer be released on a daily basis.
