The desperately awaited Android 11 (Android R) beta update went public a few hours back, and the race among the other OEMs has also kick-started.

This time, out of nowhere, Xiaomi took the lead and announced that Mi 10 duo – Mi 10 and Mi 10 Pro – will be getting the Android 11 Beta 1 update soon. Simultaneously, Poco conveyed the same for Poco F2 Pro. But then, these are only announcements, as the actual updates will take time to hit the units (that too in China first).
