The Paranoid Android team has been working hard on the Android 12 based Sapphire project, providing compatibility to a wider range of devices. The ROM is currently in the Alpha stage and was reported earlier this month to support multiple devices including OnePlus 7T Pro OnePlus 9 Pro, POCO F2 Pro/Redmi K30 Pro among others. Now, the support list has once again increased, incorporating some highly requested new entries.

According to a tweet by Paranoid Android (first reported by XDA-Developers), the ROM is now available to the OnePlus 7 Pro, the Xiaomi Mi 10T, and Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro. The latest inclusions bump the number of supported devices up to ten and more devices are expected to receive support for this custom ROM in the near future.

For those unaware, Paranoid Android Sapphire is a custom ROM based on Android 12 and therefore packs most of the features Google introduced with the latest OS upgrade. On top of that, the ROM also includes a few unique wallpapers from Hampus Olsson, some UI improvements, and some other enhancements.
