MIUI 11 is now official with a system-wide dark mode and an array of new features, and Xiaomi has detailed its rollout plans. The update will be making its way to a total of 28 devices over the course of the next two months, with most Redmi devices launched over the last two years eligible for the update.
Xiaomi will roll out the update in waves, with the POCO F1, Redmi K20, Redmi y# and Redmi 7 included in the first wave. Here's the detailed breakdown of when your Redmi or Mi phone will pick up the MIUI 11 update:
Phase 1: October 22 - 31
- POCO F1
- Redmi K20
- Redmi Y3
- Redmi 7
- Redmi Note 7
- Redmi Note 7s
- Redmi Note 7 Pro
Phase 2: November 4 - 12

- Redmi 6A

- Redmi Y1 Lite
- Redmi Y2

- Mi Max 2
Phase 3: November 13 - 29

As you can see above, a bulk of the Redmi devices will pick up the MIUI 11 update in mid-November, including the Redmi K20 Pro, Mi Mix 2, Mi Max 2, and the Redmi 5 and Redmi 6 series.
Xiaomi is launching the Redmi Note 8 series in India, and it's a shame that the new phones won't come with MIUI 11 out of the box. If anything, Redmi Note 8 users will have to wait until a month to see the update, with Redmi Note 8 Pro customers not seeing MIUI 11 until late December — that's a huge miss for Xiaomi.
Redmi K20 Pro
The Redmi K20 Pro offers everything you're looking for in a value flagship. You get a gorgeous design backed by a Snapdragon 855 chipset. 6GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, and a 48MP camera that takes great shots.
