Redmi Note 7 Pro launched in February of 2019 in India powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 675. The handset is only available in China other than its debut country. It came with MIUI 10 based on Android Pie out of the box. The phone was later updated to MIUI 11 and is also eligible for MIUI 12. However, it is yet to receive Android 10 update. Despite this, a developer has ported Android 11 for this device and anyone can install it.
Xiaomi is known for providing at least three MIUI updates for its Redmi Note devices, however, the same cannot be said for underlying Android OS. On average, the company only gives a single update Android version update to its budget devices.
However, the Redmi Note 7 Pro has still not received a single Android update even after a year from its launch. But thankfully, the device is popular in the custom ROM community just like any other Redmi Note series handset.
The phone has a number of Android 10 custom ROMs and now thanks to a developer called iamharshdeb on Telegram, users can also taste Android 11 on Redmi Note 7 Pro codenamed ‘Violet’.
