Poco F1₹ 19,999 has now started receiving MIUI 10.1 Global Stable ROM based on Android 9.0 Pie.

The Poco F1 was launched back in August with Android 8.1 Oreo on top of MIUI 9.6. Unlike the traditional MIUI ROM that comes preloaded on Xiaomi phones, the Poco F1 debuted with a customised version that the company called MIUI for Poco.

As reported by multiple users on the official MIUI forums, the MIUI 10.1 Global Stable ROM has been released for the Poco F1 that brings Android 9.0 Pie. The update has build V10.1.3.0.PEJMIFI and is 1.7GB in size. As per the screenshots posted by the users, the latest MIUI update comes with the November 2018 Android security patch. The changelog also specifies that the update brings the Google Lens integration as well as includes fixes for a list of known bugs. However, the update apparently doesn't include 960fps slow-motion video recording that was a part of the MIUI 10 beta build.
