Xiaomi’s MIUI team has been busy for the past few weeks, sending out important MIUI 11 updates to its new and old devices. A number of Xiaomi smartphones including the Mi Mix 3S, Mi Mix 2S, and the Mi 8 SE have already received the new MIUI 11 update based on Android 10. And latest smartphone to be updated to Android 10 is the Xiaomi Mi 8.
Xiaomi has started rolling out MIUI 11 based on Android 10 to Mi 8 users on the beta ROM. The update will bring a host of new MIUI 11 based features to the device and includes the latest October security patch. Given that this MIUI 11 9.10.24 build upgrades the Android version to v10.0, it’s a pretty big file with a size of over 2.1GB. Also, it is recommended to backup your data before upgrading your smartphone.
Note that this is still a beta ROM and is likely to have a few bugs. So, if you use your Mi 8 as your daily driver, it is recommended to wait for the stable release. No word on its rollout but expect it sometime in the next couple of months.
Note that there are only a handful of Xiaomi devices running a stable release of Android 10 right now. So, it will take some time for older devices like the Mi 8 to get Android 10 on the stable release. Also, there’s no word on the Android 10 beta update for devices outside of China.
