As announced by C Manmohan, General Manager of Poco India, the company is launching the open beta of the Android 9 Pie for the Poco F1. While the device had already received an update recently to MIUI 10, it was based on Android 8.1 Oreo. The new update, however, comes with Android 9 Pie. Starting with MIUI version 8.11.12 Beta, Poco F1 users can taste Pie on their devices.

Do note that if you’re currently on a stable build of MIUI, you will not get a direct OTA. To enroll yourself in the Beta programme, head over to this link and download the MIUI 10 Android 9 Pie beta update for the Poco F1. Once downloaded, head over to Settings -> About phone -> System update. Here, tap on the three-dot menu in the top-right corner and tap on “Choose update package”. Now, just browse to the downloaded file. And that’s it. Your Poco F1 will automatically reboot after installing the update.
