Redmi Note 5 Pro users have been confirming the arrival of the Android Pie beta update on the MIUI forums. XDA Developers has published links of the update, but we would recommend caution before you decide to download it, as Xiaomi has officially rolled out the update in closed beta, which means only a few users are intended to receive it. The beta version that brings Android Pie for Redmi Note 5 Pro users is MIUI 10 9.3.25 beta. It is reported to measure 1.7GB in size, and one user notes that the update brings dark mode, MIUI notification style changes, new options in Settings, and more.
