Xiaomi has been recently rolling out Android 10 stable update to the Redmi 7 as well as Redmi Note 7 series in China. As all the handsets in those series have now received the update, the company has turned towards the Redmi 8 series as the regular Redmi 8 has now begun to get Android 10 update in the company’s home country.
The stable Android 10 update for Redmi 8 comes with build number MIUI 11.0.1.0 QCNCNXM in China. Weighing at 2.0GB, the update also bumps up the security patch level to June 2020. We expect the global version to receive this update in the coming weeks.
Xiaomi has been always slow at rolling out Android updates to its devices compared to MIUI. The year 2020 turns out to be the worst update delivery year for Xiaomi.
Redmi 7, Redmi 7A, Redmi Note 7, and Redmi Note 7 Pro were launched in early 2019. However, they have begun to receive Android 10 update only now after more than a year from their debut. Additionally, the company is yet to start delivering the update to all the global versions of these handsets.
Having said that, these devices are also eligible for MIUI 12 but it is not sure when these phones will receive it as more recent phone are still in line to get it before them.
