New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….
Original story (published on January 18, 2020) follows:
Xiaomi has a bunch of smartphones under the mid-range segment. Moreover, the company disrupted the smartphone market, especially in India via these budget-to-mid-range smartphones.
In fact, over the years, the Chinese smartphone manufacturer has added a lot of new featureful mid-rangers that pack in some awesome specs for the price.
Recently back in 2019, they added yet another decent mid-ranger called the Redmi Note 8 Pro in their portfolio. To recall, the device packs in Helio G9oT chipset, 6/8 GB of RAM, a 6.53-inch display, 4,500 mAh battery.
In the camera department, it houses a quad-camera setup with 64 MP primary camera and also sports a fingerprint scanner at the back.
And if you are the owner of the Redmi Note 8 Pro in China, then you are in for a treat as the Android 10 stable update is available for download.
For a reminder, PiunikaWeb reader should know that the device got the Android 10 beta update with MIUI 11 back in November 2019 in China.
Talking about the new update, it arrives with version number V11.0.1.0.QGGCNXM and weighs in around 1.95 GB in size for the complete update package file.
Besides, the update packs in all the goodies of the latest Android 10 OS. In fact, we have reported that the Widevine issue i.e. HD streaming in Netflix, is expected to get resolved with the Android 10 update. We have to wait for the confirmation from the users whether this update fixes this or not.
Keep in mind that it will take some time for it to arrive on all the smartphones as it is rolled our in batches. You can manually check for the update notification by heading to Settings>>About Phone>>System update>>Check for updates.
