Xiaomi has released Android 11 update for POCO F2 Pro and Redmi K30 Pro.
After the official release of Android 11 beta 1, Xiaomi, through its official MIUI Twitter handle, confirmed Android 11 beta for its flagship Mi 10 and Mi 10 Pro. POCO sub-brand, also promise to release the update for the POCO F2 Pro, and we can confirm now that the Android 11 update for POCO F2 Pro is available.
The update is also available for the Redmi K30 Pro. Xiaomi announced the Redmi K30 Pro in China early this year and was later introduced globally under the POCO sub-brand. Both phones have the same development, and it could be the reason why they’re getting the update at the same thing.
Unfortunately, the Android 11 update for POCO F2 Pro/ Redmi K30 Pro, won’t be arriving via OTA. To flash the update, you’ve got to download Fastboot ROM manually and flash. What it means is that the device bootloader has to be unlocked, but don’t worry, we will guide you through it.
