Xiaomi’s big event is all set for tomorrow where we’ll see the concept Mi Mix 5G and the Mi 9 Pro 5G. While the Mix concept is one of the most anticipated flagships in the second half of 2019, the same event will have another product that’s probably awaited by millions of existing Xiaomi users, namely, the MIUI 11.

Earlier today, Redmi’s GM, Lu Weibing confirmed on Weibo that the recently announced Redmi K20 Pro Exclusive Edition will get the MIUI 11 OS. He adds that the phone won’t come with the new OS out of the box, instead, it will receive the OS via an OTA update in the future. In addition to the exclusive edition, the regular variants namely the Redmi K20 Pro and the Redmi K20 will also join the MIUI 11 club soon.

After becoming an independent brand, Redmi went full-on aggressive with its smartphone launches this year. Its most recent announcement, the Redmi K20 Pro premium edition brings top-end features like Snapdragon 855+, 12GB RAM, and 512GB storage at an affordable 2699 Yuan ($379) starting price tag. The existing Redmi K20 Pro models are discounted both in China as well as in India. So overall, it’s a really good time to purchase a Redmi smartphone with MIUI 11 incoming very soon.

The new MIUI 11 OS will bring features such as Family Sharing, Earthquake Warning, and Children’s space to millions of Xiaomi and Redmi smartphones in the coming months. Most of the smartphones released by Xiaomi over the past couple of years should be updated to the new OS. We’ll learn more about the supported devices and MIUI 11’s release schedule at the launch event tomorrow.
