The Android 11 roll-out, like any other new version of Android, is slow, but there are manufacturers that are trying to get the update to as many devices as possible. One of them is Xiaomi and it has begun rolling out the update to its upper mid-range smartphone, the Mi 10 Lite 5G.
The Mi 10 Lite 5G was announced in March of this year but didn’t go on sale until May. The phone which is powered by the Snapdragon 765G processor has now begun to receive the Android 11 update with (MIUI 12) in Europe.
It has been reported that the update began rolling out to other global users earlier this month. For Europe, it comes as MIUI v12.1.2.0.RJIEUXM with a file size of 2.8GB and October’s security patch.
Since the phone already runs MIUI 12, users will not see a visual change in the phone. However, Android 11 brings new features such as Chat Bubbles, new permission settings, and a control menu for connected devices.
