The Changelog is almost identical with the MIUI 11.0.1.0, except that it fails to bring Android 10 to Redmi Note 8. However, users will enjoy some additional features when shooting a short video. They include super slow, super-fast, filter by TikTok. It also brings smooth animation, smooth video recording, and improved battery performance.
From the Changelog, the update is for the global users and is likely to have arrived on your device. To check for the new Redmi Note 8 update, navigate to Settings> My Device> MIUI version. And if the update is yet to arrive, you’ll have to exercise some patience as OTA updates experience delays before getting to all eligible devices.
Also, you can speed up the process by turning “Receive Update Early” on the updater app settings. Navigate to My MIUI and click on the three dots at the top right corner, then turn the feature on from there.
