MIUI Stable ROM V11.0.5.0.QJBINXM changelog

As for the changelog, the latest MIUI 11 update for Mi 10 brings along support for Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (NavIC). For those unaware, NaVIC is India's own navigation system, similar to the US' GPS. Smartphones with the latest Qualcomm chipsets can now use NaVIC, and Xiaomi looks to bring that advantage to Mi 10 users in India. It also updates the security patch to April 2020 and brings along increased system security. The update optimises the status bar and notification shade, and optimises the Wi-Fi 6 icon that shows only when the device is connected to the network of this standard.

Xiaomi recently also made available the Android 11 Beta 1 update for Mi 10 users. This software build is meant for testing purposes only, and doesn't include Xiaomi's MIUI skin on top. This means that Mi 10 users can test the new update in its vanilla form, without any specific custom changes. Apart from the Pixel devices, a host other third-party phones like OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro phones have also received the Android 11 update.
