Since the announcement of MIUI 10 in July, the first phase of updates was started to the devices. Now, after last week announcement of Second wave of 21 device updates are started off by launching MIUI 10 ROM’s for Xiaomi Redmi 6, Mi Max and Mi Max Prime. The OTA updates have been rolling out by the device manufacturers in phases, so it could be pushed instantly or in one month or due to some errors the OTA notification might not show up at all.
Thankfully, the updates can be manually be downloaded and installed. The XDA’s recognized developer yshalsager has put out the download links for Xiaomi Redmi 6, Mi Max and Mi Max Prime.
