Xiaomi launched the Redmi Note 11 Pro Plus 5G in India in March. The device debuted with MIUI 13 based on Android 11 despite being released in early 2022.
Now, six months after its release, the smartphone is receiving its first major update in the country. The latest software update for the handset finally bumps up the Android version to 12.
Xiaomi has started rolling out the much-awaited Android 12 update for the Redmi Note 11 Pro Plus 5G in India. The fresh system update for the phone arrives with firmware version V13.0.1.0.SKCINXM.
The official changelog does not mention anything about the new features. However, it does confirm that the software build comes with August 2022 security patches.
The OTA system update is currently being rolled out in batches. It should reach all users in the coming days.
All in all, even after months, the Redmi Note 11 Pro Plus 5G is running an outdated version of Android along with older security patches. At this pace, we are not sure if and when the device will be updated to Android 13.
Xiaomi’s software update rollout has slowed down recently. On the other hand, competitors like Oppo and Vivo have improved theirs by a long shot. In fact, currently, Xiaomi is the only major global smartphone brand to lag behind in terms of software support.
Though Xiaomi promises three Android updates and four years of security updates for most of its upper mid-range and premium devices, it has been slow in delivering the updates. Hopefully, the company improves itself before it’s too late.
