Check Software Updates (OTA)
It’s always recommended to check for the firmware OTA update on your handset to get notified earlier if there is an update available. Xiaomi always pushes the firmware OTA update to its devices in an incremental way to a limited number of units initially. Once the update seems stable enough, the broader roll-out process starts within a couple of days or so. Therefore, all the interested users can manually check for the OTA update via the device Settings > About Phone > Software updates.
Alternatively, the Xiaomi Mi 10 (umi) users can also go to the Software Updater app and check for the same. If there is any latest update available, just download and install it. Make sure to connect the handset to a Wi-Fi network and keep the battery level at least up to 50%.
If in case, you’re not receiving the OTA update notification on your device, then you can manually install the firmware by following the guide below.
