Xiaomi has been working on rolling out its latest ROM to the majority of devices. The new MIUI 11 comes with lots of changes and updates over its previous version. Until now, the MIUI 11 has been rolled out to a bunch of popular smartphones which includes the likes of Redmi Y3, Redmi 7, Redmi K20 Pro and more. However, the buyers of the budget segment, Redmi 8 and Redmi 8A have also been in the queue waiting for the rollout of this new update so that they can experience the new features. Now, Xiaomi had previously announced that the MIUI 11 for these two smartphones, Redmi 8 and the Redmi 8A would come to the phones on November 13. However, the Redmi 8 and the Redmi 8A users will be happy to know that the MIUI 11 has arrived on these phones before its set time and it is now available for update. But, even though the latest MIUI 11 is available for Redmi 8 and the Redmi 8A, it should be noted by the users that it is still not based on top of Android 10, but it runs on the Android 9 Pie only.
