Xiaomi has updated some of its Redmi and Mi phones to the latest MIUI 10 and Android Pie of late. The newest addition to the Redmi Note 3. The three-year-old Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 has started receiving MIUI 10.2 update in India, some users of the Redmi phone have reported. It should be noted that the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 is getting the latest MIUI 10.2 update, but that’s not based on Android 9 Pie software. The Redmi Note 3 currently runs on Android 6.0 Marshmallow and not the Android Pie. Notably, as Xiaomi confirmed last month that Redmi Note 3 would be getting its final software update in January, This means that the Redmi Note 3 running on Android 6.0 Marshmallow based on MIUI 10.2 will not get any future updates. Xiaomi ended the future software updates for some of its other Redmi and Mi phones as well last month.

Last month Xiaomi’s MIUI Official Forum noted, “We have confirmed with MIUI Global ROM developer team that there will be no Global Beta update for Mi 5 & Redmi Note 3 Pro, except for the last stable ROM that comes in the near future. And Beta Team for Mi 5 and Redmi Note 3 Pro will be disbanded after its release.”
Redmi Note 3 Gets Last MIUI Update
The Redmi Note 3 currently runs Android 6.0 Marshmallow, which is pretty old but the phone now comes with the latest MIUI skin – MIUI 10.2. The new update rolling out to the Redmi Note 3 comes together with the Android security patch for July 2018 which definitely brings some bug fixes and also improvements to the overall user experience of the phone.
