Poco F1 Android 10 Update Starts Rolling call at India alongside MIUI 11, Users Report

Poco F1 has added February 2020 security patch through the Android 10 update, as per the screenshots provided by users.

Poco F1 has started receiving the anticipated Android 10 update in India. The latest update, which brings Xiaomi's MIUI 11, comes several weeks after the Poco team initially tested Android 10 with beta testers and MI Pilot users. The update didn't reach all Poco F1 users up so far, though some users did mention its rollout on social media in January. The Poco F1 was launched within the country back in August 2018 with MIUI 9.6 supported Android 8.1 Oreo. The smartphone received Android Pie-based MIUI 10 in December 2018.

According to a forum post on MIUI Community forums, the Android 10 update for the Poco F1 brings MIUI 11 (precisely version 11.0.6.0.QEJMIXM). The forum post mentions that the new software update is rolling call at batches -- initially for beta testers and Mi Pilot users. However, user reports on social media highlight that the update is live even for the Poco F1 users who aren't participating within the beta program.

Multiple users on Twitter have provided screenshots showing the arrival of the newest update on their Poco F1 devices. The screenshots suggest that the update comes alongside the February 2020 Android security patch and is 1.9GB in size. There is no mention of Android 10 within the changelog, though.

The Android 10 update for the Poco F1 was initially tested in January. That rollout was essentially a kind of soak test, though users were expected to receive the new experience soon after the initial beta testing.

If you're one among the Poco F1 users who were expecting Android 10, you'll manually check for the update by getting to the Settings menu. The update is probably going to bring new gestures also as an inventory of interface-level changes. The presence of MIUI 11 would also enhance the experience and bring features such as an Always-on Display, optimized Game Turbo, and App Vault. There also are updates to preloaded apps like the File Manager, Notes, and Calculator. Moreover, the update brings various bug fixes and performance improvements.
