Five new Xiaomi smartphones are now receiving Android 10. We’re talking about a stable update here, by the way. This update comes with MIUI 11, the latest major iteration of Xiaomi’s skin.
Five Xiaomi smartphones is now receiving Android 10
The devices in question are the Xiaomi Mi 8, Mi 8 Pro, Mi 8 SE, Mi 9 SE, and Mi 9 Lite. This information has been revealed by the company’s official website.

Xiaomi announced three phones quite recently, the Xiaomi Mi 10, Mi 10 Pro, and Mi 10 Lite. All three of these phones support 5G, and the company announced their global variants as well.
The Xiaomi Mi 10 and Mi 10 Pro are the company’s new flagships, while the Mi 10 Lite is a new mid-range smartphone. The Mi 10 Lite does come with 5G support, and it’s priced at €349.
The Xiaomi Mi 10 and Mi 10 Pro are considerably more expensive, though. The Mi 10 Lite will probably
