Xiaomi has just released Android 11 in beta for the new top of the range of the firm, that is, for both the Mi 10 and the Mi 10 Pro . If you have one of the two models, you are one of the first privileged to have the opportunity to enjoy the new version of the Google operating system before the others, as long as you assume the risks to which you are exposed when dealing, as we say, from a beta version.
Google last week released Android 11 in its beta version by surprise allowing Pixel phone owners to start testing with the new software. Soon other brands have picked up the baton from the American manufacturer and are starting to bring Android 11 to their phones. Xiaomi is among these first companies that want to offer their users the possibility of working with the latest version of Android.
How to install Android 11 on your Xiaomi mobile
The first beta version of Android 11 has been available for a week, but for a few years now, the beta of the software is no longer exclusive to Google phones. Last week, Xiaomi advanced the arrival of Android 11 to the Mi 10 and 10 Pro as well as the Poco F2 Pro and it is now when it keeps its word, at least with the first two.
The ROM download links are now available for those who want to install Android 11 on the Xiaomi Mi 10 to experience its new functions, although its installation is only recommended, for obvious reasons, to advanced users. In addition, it is appropriate to indicate that the ROMs of this version are based on Android Stock (AOSP) and not on MIUI, so the change will be more than evident.
The installation files are in .tgz format and a flash is required through Windows and the MiFlash tool. The links to download and install are as follows:
