Xiaomi Poco F1 smartphone to be updated with MIUI 10 by 4 November

**Xiaomi Poco F1** was launched two months ago and it ran MIUI 9.6 out-of-the-box. The Poco F1 also included a Poco Launcher on top. The lack of MIUI 10 was, probably, the only real complaint against the Poco F1. However, now, according to an announcement made by the company, the Poco F1 will get the MIUI 10 update by the end of this week. With the new update, Poco has announced that the device will now get custom app icon sizes, a grid and dark mode. Other that that, the announcement also mentions that the update will fix the device’s compatibility issue with Asphalt 8: Airborne and Asphalt 9: Legends, and the notch-covering issue in PUBG Mobile. Another issue on the Poco F1 is its inability to stream HD video on Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and other video streaming apps. This fix will likely come by the end of this year.
