Two Xiaomi handsets, the Redmi Note 8 Pro and the Redmi 7A, are now receiving the new MIUI 11 software update. The new update is being made available for the two phones in batches and the company says all units will receive the update in a few days. Redmi confirmed that MIUI 11 is being made available for the Redmi Note 8 Pro and the Redmi 7A in a reply to users’ query on Twitter.

Redmi 7A and the Redmi Note 8 Pro will also be updated to the November security patch with the update. The new MIUI 11 update brings minimalistic interface design for the phones and enables users to customise ambient display. There will also be a quick reply option for easily reverting to incoming messages, along with a new Mi Share option that will enable sharing files quickly between devices.

Xiaomi also noted that 27 of its devices have been updated to MIUI 11 since October 22 and the updates were rolled out in 47 days. However, the company’s latest Android One device, the Mi A3, has surprisingly not received the Android 10 update.
