The POCO F1 that was launched in India back in August this year gets Android Pie with latest beta update. Read this article to know more.
Late last month, Xiaomi sub-brand POCO confirmed that it would update the POCO F1 with Android Q after it’s released by Google next year. Well, there’s still a lot of time for that to happen, so POCO F1 users aren’t getting Android Q right now. But, what they are getting right now is a beta update that brings in Android Pie to the phone.
POCO has released MIUI 10 Global Beta ROM 8.11.15 for POCO F1 that brings in Android 9.0 Pie to the POCO F1. But, do note that this is a beta update, and not the final build, so those of you who decide to give it a try need to keep in mind that you might encounter some bugs. However, Xiaomi says that MIUI 10 Global Beta ROM 8.11.15 has received a recommendation rate of 94% from those who have been using it for sometime now, which is reassuring. Those interested can download the beta ROM from here.
That said, earlier this month, POCO rolled out MIUI 10 Global Stable ROM for POCO F1 that brought along some new features to the phone, but is still based on Android 8.1 Oreo. For those unaware, the POCO F1 was launched in India back in August this year with Android Oreo-based MIUI 9.6. Now that POCO has rolled out Android Pie public beta for POCO F1, we expect the company to roll out the stable build of Android Pie soon.
