Pocophone F1 fans, rejoice! The Head of Pocophone Global, Alvin Tse, took to Twitter and revealed that the list shared by Xiaomi only includes the devices sold in China. Pocophone F1 isn’t available in China, so it wasn’t on it, but it will still get the MIUI 11 update. He further mentions, that since the MIUI 11 stable release will come in Mid-October, the Global update may come a few time later, perhaps in November.

Those are definitively great news for the Pocophone F1 owners. Some of them are ready to keep the smartphone for one more year, and since it was a great hit, Xiaomi wouldn’t be crazy to left it without a proper update to MIUI 11.
