Over a week ago, we reported that the Redmi Note 8T (aka Redmi Note 8 with NFC) started receiving the stable MIUI 11 update in Europe. However, it was not based on the latest version of Android i.e. the Android 10.

The update tagged along all the new and cool goodies from the 11th iteration of Xiaomi‘s custom UI, the MIUI. For specs buff, Redmi Note 8T packs in features like Snapdragon 665 SoC, 4,000 mAh battery, 3/4 GB of RAM, offers up to 128 GB of storage and houses a quad-camera setup.
