Xiaomi Redmi 44A now receiving MIUI 10 update based on Android 712 Nougat

Xiaomi has already outed its phones that will receive the MIUI 10 update and it included some of its older phones as well. Making good on its promise, the company is now seeding the MIUI 10 Global Stable ROM to the Xiaomi Redmi 4 and the Redmi 4A. First spotted by FoneArena, the news comes via the company’s Mi Forums, where the update has been announced for the Redmi 4A. As for the Redmi 4, there is no official post about the update but some of its users have posted screenshots with the new update on the Redmi 4 being available on their devices.  The MIUI 10 update for both the Redmi 4 and the Redmi 4A is based on Android 7.1.2 Nougat. This means that even though the two devices get a facelift in terms of UI and colour schemes, there is no update to the underlying OS. Additionally, the security patch level on the Redmi 4A  is a bit dated with the July 2018 patch, while the Redmi 4 gets the October 2018 security update. For the Redmi 4, the MIUI 10.1.1.0.NAMMFI update size is 316MB, while for the Redmi 4A update MIUI 10.1.1.0.NCCMIFI is 268MB in size.  The Redmi 4 and the Redmi 4A were launched last year in India running on Android 6.0 Marshmallow. They were later updated to MIUI 9 running on Android Nougat and are now finally receiving the MIUI 10 update. However, some users on the Mi Forums have complained that some of the most attractive MIUI 10 features like bokeh mode support on single camera and face unlock is also not available. Hopefully, the company will be rolling out these features to the phones with a future update. Xiaomi Redmi 4/4A users can check if the update is available for their unit by heading over to Settings > About phone > System updates > Check for updates. It might take some time for the update to arrive on devices since it is being rolled over the air (OTA).  Via: FoneArena
