MIUI 11 and Android 10 for Pocophone F1
In recent weeks we have seen how Xiaomi released the Android 10 source code to all its phones with the Snapdragon 845, something that was a sign of imminent update. These days we have already seen how this update helped on the Mi Mix 3 or Mi 8, and today is the opportunity for Pocophone F1, which is starting to update to Android 10 with MIUI 11 customization.
At this time, as XDA Developers improves, the version is available to beta users. However, the real catch of the update is that it's a version stable. This means that even though the version is certified as stable, they want to make an upgrade deploying to avoid problems as it happened with the Xiaomi Mi A2. Of course within the next few days if everything goes well, I will eventually reach other devices.
This version is based on MIUI 11, the Pocophone F1 customization layer we already have. In this case, this update is updated with Android 10 security space and January 2020.
