Xiaomi is the only smartphone OEM to release weekly software builds for its devices. In the announcement post for this week’s builds on Mi Community China, the company confirmed the Android 11 update for a number of Xiaomi and Redmi phones from 2019.
Xiaomi unveiled MIUI 12 in late April. Since then, the world’s third-largest smartphone maker has been updating its devices to the latest version of its mobile software. As of now, the company’s flagship, mid-range, select budget phones have received the update. Only certain budget and older handsets are yet to get the update.
On the other hand, the 2020 premium devices that have been updated to MIUI 12 have also started receiving Android 11 update. Hence, the firm has now revealed the next batch of handsets that will be getting the latest version of Android.

That said, it is not sure when Android 11 builds will be released for the above-mentioned phones. Because the company has suspended the beta program for an unspecific period of time from next week ahead of MIUI 12.5 release.
Anyway, even after the firm starts releasing those builds, the final stable update for different regions may take time to arrive.
Note: Redmi K30 4G, POCO X2, Redmi K30 5G, Mi CC9 Pro, Mi CC9 Pro Premium Edition, Mi Note 10, and Mi 10 Pro from 2019 are also eligible for Android 11 update. These handsets have been receiving MIUI 12 beta builds based on Android 11 for a few months now.
