Xiaomi has been lately updating its last year’s budget smartphones to Android 10 worldwide. Like always, the company began to roll it out first in China, followed by other regions. The Redmi 8 got the update in early July in the firm’s home country. Now, it has finally started to receive it in India as well.
The Android 10 update for Redmi 8 in India comes with build number V11.0.1.0.QCNINXM. The OTA update also bumps up the security patch level to August 2020. The changelog also mentions only these two things but there could be certain bug fixes as well.
The Redmi 8 is not the only 2019 budget Xiaomi smartphone to get Android 10 in India this week. The Redmi Note 7, Redmi Note 7S, and Redmi Note 7 Pro are also receiving it. However, it is worth noting that the update for these devices is being seeded out in batches.
We except the company to start a wider rollout by the end of this month or early next month. Anyway, if you own any of the above handsets, you will get Android 10 as well as MIUI 12 in the coming weeks.
Unfortunately, none of them is eligible for Android 11 but may receive MIUI 13 next year.
