The update also brings redesigned Settings Page. Worth noting that this isn’t a stable update, thus not being recommended for users that need the phone running stable during the entire day. However, if you couldn’t wait to get Android Pie and other features on your Redmi Note 5 Pro, you can flash it in your phone manually, so as previously mentioned beta builds often contain bugs that make them unsuitable for daily needs.
If everything goes well during the beta testing phase, we should see Android Pie being rolled out to every user in the coming weeks.
