Xiaomi recently confirmed that it would start rolling out MIUI 10 Stable update to 21 of its devices as part of the second batch rollout. As promised, the Chinese handset maker is now seeding the update to three smartphones in the list- Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro which is the company’s latest launch and the Redmi Note 4/4X which are the smartphones from 2017. MIUI 10 stable update for the Redmi Note 6 Pro is based on Android 8.1 Oreo, while the same update for the Redmi Note 4 and 4X is based on Android 7.0 Nougat, which is rather disappointing to see. That said, MIUI 10 doesn’t make you feel that you’re using an older version of Android, but you’ll surely miss out on features such as autofill passwords, smart text selection and so on.

Redmi Note 4 Gets Much-Awaited MIUI 10 Stable Update Based on Android Nougat
It’s a little disappointing to see Xiaomi not releasing the MIUI 10 update for the Redmi Note 4 based on Android Oreo. But Xiaomi is known for doing such things. To recall, the Redmi Note 3 received MIUI 9 stable update earlier this year, but it was based on Android Marshmallow. The Redmi Note 3 will even receive the MIUI 10 Stable update, but again, it will be based on Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow itself.
The same is continuing with the Redmi Note 4 and Redmi Note 4X this year. Launched back in January 2017, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 is the reason behind Xiaomi’s stupendous success in the country. In a matter of six months, the company sold over five million units of Redmi Note 4 in the sub-continent. This allowed Xiaomi to replace Samsung at the top spot in the Indian smartphone market, which isn’t a small feat by any means.
