Redmi Note 8, Xiaomi Mi Note 10, and Mi 10T Lite get Android 11-based MIUI 12 updates in some regions
Xiaomi has started rolling out Android 11 builds for the Redmi Note 8, Mi Note 10, and Mi 10T Lite through the stable channel of MIUI 12.
Xiaomi kicked off its Android 11 update rollout with the Mi 10, Mi 10 Pro, and the Redmi K30 Pro in September last year. The company has since rolled out MIUI 12-flavored Android 11 for a couple of devices, including the Mi 10 Lite, Mi Note 10 Lite, Redmi Note 9 Pro/Redmi Note 9S, and more. Continuing the update flow, the Chinese OEM is now rolling out Android 11 via MIUI 12's stable channel for the Mi 10T Lite, Mi Note 10, and the Redmi Note 8 in select regions.
Kernel sources for the Motorola Moto E7/E7 Plus and a truckload of Xiaomi devices are now available
Kernel sources for the Motorola Moto E7 series and several Xiaomi phones, including the Mi Note 10 Lite, are now available for download.
Since Android is built on top of the Linux kernel, Android device makers have to provide, upon customer request, the source code for any Linux kernel binaries that ship on their devices. That includes not only the release date software, but also any subsequent updates to the kernel. The availability of such sources allow the modding community to add new capabilities that are otherwise not offered in the stock configuration. Kernel source releases also help developers to port popular custom ROMs (e.g. LineageOS) for the device which, in turn, benefit users who aren’t satisfied with the stock ROM. OEMs like Xiaomi and Motorola maintain a steady track record of releasing these sources and we now have another example of their commitment towards the aftermarket developer community.

Android 11's stable release is allegedly expected around September 8, but you can take an early glimpse of the upcoming major version of the OS right now through the beta builds. Apart from Google, several OEMs have come forward to offer official Android 11 beta builds for a bunch of smartphones. Xiaomi, for example, initially released vanilla AOSP 11 firmware for the Mi 10, Mi 10 Pro, and the Redmi K30 Pro (Chinese variant of the POCO F2 Pro), but the subsequent builds were rebased on top of the company's MIUI custom skin. The Chinese OEM has now offered a similar treatment to the owners of the Mi Note 10 by releasing a closed beta build of MIUI 12 based on Android 11 Beta 3 for the phone.
