A couple of days ago the alarm went off due to a leak, but now we can confirm that it is 100% official: Android 9 Pie is reaching the Pocophone F1 thanks to the update that has started to move Xiaomi. We tell you all the details to take the leap and get your phone ready.
Update Pocophone F1 to Android 9 Pie
Not long ago the Pocophone F1 from Xiaomi -one of the phones revelation this year - received an update. It was MIUI 10, although it was still based on Android Oreo. Today, however, a breath of fresh air enters through the window, or rather, via OTA, since the Android 9 Pie package It has started to move and reach phones around the world.
As we mentioned a few lines above, a leak annoyed the surprise of the Chinese company a few days ago, which allowed some users to access the update through a link, thus forcing the machine. This download, however, was not operational for everyone and many people complained in the forums about not being able to proceed with the update.
All that is left behind with the official arrival (and stable) of Android 9.0 Pie, which has begun to knock on the doors of users in countries as diverse as India, the United Kingdom or Spain. The update package occupies 1,6 GB and includes the latest available version of its custom MIUI system (10.1.3.0), in addition to the November security patch and the fix of certain existing bugs on the phone related to the microphone and screen.
All new arrivals you already know about Android Pie will now be available on the phone, also highlighting the Google Lens platform integration in the main camera by default of the Pocophone F1.
Of course, although as we have indicated, it is a stable and official version, we must warn you that some gamers they are complaining that the titles do not run in full screen, influencing the gaming experience. We assume that Xiaomi will try to fix this problem as soon as possible, but it does not hurt to keep it in mind.
