Google had recently released the list of smartphones that are included in the list of Android Q beta 3 program. The Xiaomi Mi MIX 3 5G and Xiaomi Mi 9 were the two devices from the Chinese firm that were included in the list. The Redmi K20 Pro was made official yesterday through a launch event in China. Soon after it was unveiled, the handset has been added to list of Android Q beta upgradable devices.
Redmi General Manager Lu Weibing had claimed earlier this month that a new flagship phone is arriving with Android Q. Keeping true to the promise, the Redmi K20 Pro has become eligible to receive the Android Q beta even before its first sale.
The official website states that only the Redmi K20 Pro users in China can update to Android Q beta. In order to install, users are required to seek permission through the MIUI website and then go ahead with the process of flashing the ROM. Since the OS is still in its beta stage, there are some issues that are yet to be resolve. Some of which include no support fingerprint sensor, Bluetooth search cannot find some keyboards, and only some videos appear in Google Drive.
