Redmi Note 7 Android 10 update to roll out earlier than expected; Xiaomi reveals when

Redmi’s popular mid-range offerings, the Redmi Note 7 and the Redmi Note 7 Pro could get the MIUI 11 update based on Android 10 sooner than expected. The two smartphones already received the MIUI 11 update based on Android 9 Pie in October this year.

Now, a moderator on the Mi Community forums revealed that the Chinese version of MIUI 11 based on Android 10 for the two smartphones has already entered closed Beta stage. This means we could expect the first public beta build to release in about two to three weeks. We expected the first stable build to be released somewhere around eight weeks from now after fixing early bugs. Hence, we are assuming the first stable build to roll out in March.
