The Redmi 8 is the latest Xiaomi device to get the Android 10 with an OTA update. A report from China says that users in the country have received the MIUI 11 version V11.0.1.0.QCNCNXM based on Android 10. The Redmi 8 launched in October of 2019 with the Android 9 Pie, and is now receiving the Android 10 update almost 8 months later.
This update brings a number of new features with it alongside a June Android security patch. The latest update has the build number MIUI 11.0.1.0.QCNCNXM and is about 2GB in size. This update brings all the improvements of the Android 10 alongside an upgraded June 2020 security patch.
Users are advised to back up their data before upgrading their device, as some apps seem to have compatibility issues with the new update. With users in China already receiving the update, the update is expected to roll out in other regions in the next few weeks.
With Xiaomi looking to bring MIUI 12 to more of its devices, it is great to see that they have not totally abandoned other devices and are still updating their older smartphones to Android 10. The company has specified that Redmi 8 is due to receive MIUI 12 update in the coming months.

Google is currently letting Beta Testers test out a new Nearby Sharing feature. This feature has some sort of similarity to Apple’s Airdrop and is currently rolling out to certain Google Play Beta testers. These testers will now have an option to share files “Nearby” in the Android share menu.
When enabled, this feature will allow users see Nearby devices (a bit like Bluetooth) and you can then select the visibility levels to your contacts or just toggle this feature off if you do not want it turned on.
If you have the “Nearby Sharing” feature turned on, you should be able to see when someone is trying to share something nearby, even if you may not appear on the sender’s device. You can click on notifications to become visible to other devices to receive files. This feature works for files like videos, photos and other content like URLs or tweets.
Google has confirmed that it intends to bring this feature to all devices from Android 6 (marshmallow) and up. Although this feature is still only in limited Beta testing, it would be great to see it finally released to end-users as a quicker and more effective means of transferring files and other shareable information among Android devices.
