During the Xaomi Mi 9 Pro 5G and Mi Mix Alpha keynote, the Chinese firm also detailed it’s upcoming Android update — MIUI 11. Now thanks to the Head of Pocophone Global, Alvin Tse, we have confirmation that the MIUI 11 update will roll out to the Pocophone F1.

Xiaomi is one of the biggest names in Android today, and the company is today announcing a change to its MIUI software. Starting with the latest update, the MIUI camera app is picking up direct integration with Google Lens.

The Pocophone F1 is a fantastic device in a number of ways, the combination of software and high-end hardware makes for a truly solid experience that is hard to dismiss. That said, the addition of 4K 60FPS video recording via the latest software beta is yet another massive improvement on a truly beastly budget handset.

The Widevine DRM standard is what makes playing back protected content on our devices possible. However, not all devices are equal in that regard. Xiaomi’s Pocophone F1 hit the market without the certification required to do things such as playing Netflix in HD quality. Now, the latest update finally adds support for that.

There is so much to love about the Pocophone F1, it’s a superb budget smartphone that is only really let down (at least in the US) by a lack of carrier support. The price point makes it such an amazing package, and it seems it will get even more enticing. That will be thanks to the addition of Night mode for photos, 960FPS slow-mo, and 4K 60FPS video recording, all of which are heading to the Xiaomi Pocophone F1 over the next couple of months.
