Last week, I wrote that OnePlus is the first Android OEM to let its users try out the new Android 11 Beta. Today, it’s Xiaomi’s turn (h/t XDA Developers).

Based on AOSP instead of MIUI, Xiaomi’s Android 11 Beta 1 builds are now available for the Mi 10 and Mi 10 Pro phones. Other prerequisites include an unlocked bootloader and a Windows PC to run the MiFlash tool. XDA Developers has all the download links and flashing instructions — so head over there if you decide to proceed.

Again, this is beta software, which means there will be plenty of bugs and stability issues. Unless you’re a developer who needs to get your apps ready for the OS, you shouldn’t touch it even with a ten-foot pole. And if you must, know too that the installation will wipe your device and downgrading may not be straightforward.
