        If not work then this is quick and easy. Go Google Playstore, Install MIUI 11 Downloader Updater

        Search Mi 8 in MIUI 11 Downloader Updater. Download and follow instruction below marked # if you cannot download in this app, carry on reading to download from somewhere else.

        If not work then do below;
        Go to xiaomifirmwareupdater.com
        Search mi 8 - get the version suited for you phone Global or Russian.

                I must say, after almost two years with this phone, it works flawlessly. Speed is same as the day one, 128GB of storage is more than enough for my needs, cameras are great. Probably the best purchase of my life.

                    You might say that Mi8's processor is just around 2X faster, but for GPU wise, it is around 3X more powerful than Realme 6.
                    So, please don't compare a midrange with flagship grade smartphone. If you really can top up a little bit more, get a Mi9 instead.

                      Yes, Oneplus still is the king of Android smartphone for best optimization outside Google Pixel series, but Xiaomi is not far behind. Considering the price, Xiaomi smartphone of course are far more value for money, but not compromise on UI updates.

But in terms of software I doubt it. Even though it's a high end phone, the software will became way more demanding for the hardware up to a point where the phone will slow down. Pity...

                                        i wonder for how long will hold up this phone... you think will last till 2025? i think we reached a sweet spot with mi8, still old xiaomi standards about price(reasonable cheap flagship) and with so many specs to give battle for years.
