Xiaomi is ramping up its efforts to move its past flagships onto Android 10 builds of MIUI 11, with the company initially releasing Android 9.0 Pie builds to devices like the Mi Mix 3 and Mi 8. The latter has now joined the former on Android 10 though, with the latest update for the handset introducing multiple other changes too.
The build, called V11.0.1.0.QEAMIXM, has been released to Xiaomi's Global Stable channel. However, Piunikaweb notes that the Chinese company is gradually rolling out the OS upgrade, but we doubt that this will extend beyond a few weeks. The changelog for V11.0.1.0.QEAMIXM is:
System
- Stable MIUI based on Android 10
- Updated Android Security Patch to December 2019
- Increased system security
Lockscreen, status bar, Notification shade
- Fix: Couldn’t open notification settings in the Notification shade in Second space
Security
- Optimization: Localized payment security icon for India
Other
- Fix: Images overlapped in scrolling screenshots
The update downgrades the Mi 8 from V11.0.6.0 to V11.0.1.0 for some reason, but that has also been the case with the Mi Mix 3, Redmi K20 and Mi 9T. We are unsure whether this removes any features that Xiaomi added to MIUI 11 up to this point, though. You can download V11.0.1.0.QEAMIXM from Xiaomi's servers if you want to install it manually, but you must flash it using TWRP. A requisite for having TWRP installed is having an unlocked bootloader too, for reference.
