After unveiling the MIUI 11 in September, Xiaomi has now started seeding the update for the Redmi 6A and Redmi 6 smartphones. The global stable update is now reaching to smartphones in India. The Redmi 6 is getting MIUI v11.0.1.0, whereas the Redmi 6A is getting v11.0.4.0. This being an OTA update with phased rollout, it may take some time before the update reaches your device.

The MIUI 11 update brings bug fixes, performance improvements and new features to the smartphones. The new features include Mi Share, game speed booster and a fresh new look with Dark Mode. Both the Redmi 6 and Redmi 6A are over a year old budget smartphones. And it’s good to see Xiaomi keeping them updated with new features.
Though the update does not bring Android 10, the company is still trying to bring as many new features via MIUI 11 skin, which is a good thing.
