Poco F1 has accomplished many feats since its declaration back in August and as well being a sweetness bargain, the smartphone has received several timely updates to ameliorate the overall performance and user experience. Now, Xiaomi is rolling out Android Pie update to all Poco F1 users, afterwards selectively introducing information technology to beta users a few weeks ago.

With this update, Poco lives up to its promise of delivering Android Pie to all users earlier the end of this year. The update weighs in at 1.7GB and does not bring any significant changes compared to the beta version appear last month. The updated version of MIUI 10 is labeled as x.1.3.0 up from 10.0.half-dozen for the Android Oreo.

Poco F1 Receives Stable Android Pie Update: Don't Wait for the OTA — Poco F1 before and after the Android Pie update

The new update, just similar the beta, does not add features such as Digital Wellbeing and Adaptive Battery, presumably because Xiaomi prefers working on its own AI than leveraging Google'southward. Moreover, there's no modify in terms of the UI, which is again something that Xiaomi does not have a practise of doing, as it instead focuses on refashioning its own MIUI, which already happened with MIUI x.

Yet, in that location are a few additions such as the Ambient Display and the option to display badges for incoming notifications, as we saw in the beta update.

Unfortunately, the old option does not work and appears to have trickled down from the build for Mi 8, which has an AMOLED display, unlike the Poco F1.

Gladly, notifications work well and the comeback is really useful. Every time y'all unlock the screen, notification icons announced and then coil back, emptying the infinite for the clock and I've come to like this a lot. In fact, using the hybrid floating notifications is better than persistent ones because it makes the status bar appear uncluttered.

The over-the-air (OTA) update will be bachelor in a phased roll-out and might take weeks before information technology reaches you. To check for the OTA, you can go to Settings, followed by summit-most option About Telephone, and and so System Update. At present tap on "Check for Updates".

Poco F1 is Now Fifty-fifty More Bonny

While I feel that the animations are slightly zippier, I'll be testing how Android Pie performs on Poco F1 over the adjacent few coming days. With this update, we also hope that Poco has fixed the battery drain issue which many users had been complaining of subsequently the MIUI ten update.
