The latest Redmi Note 8 Pro software update is what many owners of the device in Europe have been longing for. The stable MIUI 11 update is here, finally, arriving as version MIUI 11.0.1.0.PGGEUXM and weighs in at 601MB.
Although Xiaomi has already released Android 10 stable updates to a handful of its devices, the incoming MIUI 11 update for the Note 8 Pro is still based on Android 9 Pie, the pre-installed OS.
The Indian and global variants of the Note 8 Pro already picked up their stable MIUI 11 updates and as expected, the changelog for their European counterpart is identical, including the October security patch.
