This week we got to know which of the Xiaomi smartphones are getting an update to Android Pie in the near future and among them was the Redmi 6 Pro, which was listed for internal testing of the software update. Xiaomi has now started rolling out the Android Pie update on the Redmi 6 Pro and the update is available through a beta package.
The update shifts the build version to MIUI 9.3.14.0 beta on the Redmi 6 Pro and the news comes directly from Xiaomi on MIUI forum. Along with features from Android Pie, the Redmi 6 Pro is now enabled with Dual 4G VoLTE support allowing users to dial or receive VoLTE calls or use 4G on both SIMs of the device.
The latest update to Redmi 6 Pro can be installed on any non-rooted smartphone with a locked bootloader and can be done by flashing the Recovery ROM through the updated App on their phone. Xiaomi has confirmed that the update can be accessed by general users and not just beta testers. Judging my Xiaomi’s confidence about the beta update, it’s highly likely that the phone will soon get a stable update to Android 9 Pie.
