Yesterday we saw how two of the brand's oldest devices can count on the support, albeit unofficial, of Android 11. In fact, the developers have created ports that allow you to enjoy all (or almost) the features of the new release of the operating system famous for being open source. But Xiaomi Mi A2 and POCO F1 they are not the only ones: also Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro, Xiaomi Mi 8, Notes redmi 5 Pro, Redmi Note 8 / 8T e Redmi Notes 9S may have major releases through support unofficial. Of course this does not mean that they will not receive the update directly.
Topics of this article:
Android 11 is available, unofficially, also for Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro, Xiaomi Mi 8, Redmi Note 5 Pro, Redmi Note 8 / 8T and Redmi Note 9S: download now!
Although there is no official list that confirms which devices will be updated to Android 11, some of those reported here we are sure that they will not receive the official update. In particular they will be Xiaomi Mi 8 and Redmi Nore 5 Pro. This is because being the oldest in order of release they could be left by the official developer support. But modding saves everyone and so here are some Custom ROM you can install to have the new operating system on these smartphones too.

We remind you that to install this type of ROM it is necessary to do it unlocking the bootloader and proceed with the ROM flash.
