Some Spanish users are beginning to receive the stable version of MIUI 11 with Android 9 Pie on the Pocophone F1. This means that if you have this model, it is normal that you will receive the update in the next few days or weeks. As soon as it happens, you will see a pop-up message on the screen of your device advising you of its availability. The download is being carried out via OTA, so you will not need to use any type of cable to download it.
The version that is beginning to land on POCO mobiles is “MIUI V11.0.5.0.PEJMIXM”. It has a weight of 1.8 GB, so we recommend that you connect to a WiFi network (always stable and secure) to download the file. If days or weeks pass and you do not receive the pop-up message, you can check yourself if it is already available from the settings. Click on "about phone", "System updates" and wait for the screen to update. If you don't see any available updates, don't worry, try again by clicking on the "check for updates" button. Do it several times, as it may be difficult for him to show up the first time. Sometimes you need to force the update a few times to get it to show.
It may also work if you change the region of the Pocophone F1 to another country, for example Italy. Type "region" (without quotes) in the mobile settings, in the search bar. Once inside, choose Italy or any other country in the European Union. Then go back to the section "About the phone", "System updates" and carry out the same action again, updating the screen.
In the event that not even with these you can enjoy MIUI 11, you always have to download the official ROM through the Downmi application. With it, you can enjoy the latest stable ROM version of your Xiaomi terminal. Once inside, look for the model of your team to then click on "Global Stable". Finally, download it to your device. Once you have it downloaded, you just have to proceed to install it by following the steps from here.
As we say, MIUI 11 is based on Android 9 Pie, so for Android 10 we will have to wait. Among its main novelties we can highlight a cleaner and minimalist design, as well as greater security and stability. To this must be added the dark mode to save battery or relax your eyes, as well as nature sounds or My Share, a system to exchange files between devices.
