Xiaomi begins MIUI 11 rollout in India starting with Redmi K20

Xiaomi announced the MIUI 11 roadmap during the launch of the Redmi Note 8 Pro in India last week. Looks like the company is bang on schedule for its new Android 9-based software update. Xiaomi has announced that it has started rolling out the MIUI 11 global stable ROM V11.0.2.0 for Redmi K20 and Redmi K20 Pro.

The company says that the update is rolling out in batches, so you may have to wait a few days before you get yours. Those with the global Redmi K20 variant (i.e. the Mi 9T) should also be expecting the MIUI 11 update sometime soon.

This first wave of MIUI 11 updates are expected to reach users by October 31. Other Xiaomi phones expected to receive MIUI 11 in this batch include: POCO F1, Redmi Y3, Redmi 7, Redmi Note 7, Redmi Note 7S, and Redmi Note 7 Pro.
