Xiaomi MIUI 10: Redmi 6 Pro, Note 5 Pro get Android Pie

Xiaomi is one of the very few mobile-makers who constantly listen to the feedback of its loyal patrons and offer timely delivery of updates. And, another aspect of the company is that is it is only one who offers more than the three years of software support, provided there are no hardware limitations in the device. Now, Xiaomi's two popular phones Redmi 6 Pro and the Redmi Note 5 Pro have started receiving the Android Pie-based MIUI 10 update notification.

The company is rolling out the latest MIUI 10.3 global stable update in several regions including India. It weighs around 1.6GB in size and brings lots of new features including Google's security patch to thwart malware, revamped interface, shortcuts, improve battery life and more.

Notable enhancements also include a system-wide dark mode, which has been long awaited by the fans, as it makes the mundane user-interface visually appealing and also makes the display consume less power than usual. Android Pie-based MIUI 10.3 also comes with a new gesture-based feature to make use of full-view display, face-unlock, thus offering the second layer of security in addition to the fingerprint scanner. It also comes with new colour backgrounds, themes, and wallpapers.
