The coronavirus outbreak in China has disrupted the plans of many companies. As it became known, Xiaomi decided to postpone the rollout of the MIUI 11 update on some smartphones. The sanitary measures taken by Beijing to end the epidemic are indeed forcing some Chinese manufacturers to reconsider their plans. Some models will have to wait an extra few weeks to get MIUI 11 based on Android 10.
In a press release published on the Chinese social network Sina Weibo, Xiaomi spoke about the disruption in its work caused by the epidemic. The company indicated that the latest beta version could not arrive in time for a number of smartphones: Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro, Mi 9, Mi 8, Redmi K20 Pro, Mi 6, Redmi K30, Redmi K30 5G, Mi 10, Mi 10 Pro and Mi MIX 2S. The company has promised to bring MIUI 11.2 20.2.19 beta versions to these devices in the coming weeks.
Xiaomi is not the only brand that is changing its plans due to the epidemic. In recent weeks, for example, OnePlus and Realme have faced similar challenges. In particular, OnePlus has delayed the rollout of security patches for the OnePlus 7T by two weeks. The same story is observed with Realme: the company has postponed the firmware update for its Realme X2.
As a precautionary measure, the Chinese government has opted to close the vast majority of businesses and factories in the country. A few days ago, however, some businesses partially resumed their activities. For the same reasons, Apple will face a shortage of iPhones in the first quarter.
