Chinese smartphone brand Xiaomi is rolling out MIUI 10 Global Stable update for more and more smartphones. However, this MIUI 10 Global Stable update doesn’t bring Android Pie to any of the smartphones that received it as it’s still based on Android Oreo. But, the company has finally rolled out the stable build of Android Pie update, and, the first smartphone to receive it is the Mi MIX 2S.
Xiaomi through its MIUI Twitter handle has announced the roll-out of Android Pie update for Mi MIX 2S. This makes Mi MIX 2S the first Xiaomi smartphone to get the Android Pie update. For those unaware, Android Pie is the latest version of Android which was released back in August this year. And, after more than two months from the release, the Mi MIX 2S is receiving the stable build of Android Pie. Well, this became possible because the Mi MIX 2S was one of the non-Google smartphones that were a part of Google’s Android P Beta Program.
