Few days back, Xiaomi released Android 8.1 Oreo based MIUI 9.5.6.0 update for Redmi Note 5 Pro, but it was paused quickly due to various issues with camera, notification, vibration, etc. Now the company resumed the Android 8.1 Oreo update for the device as MIUI 9.5.11.0 with all the fixes. Users will receive the OTA update soon or download and install the MIUI 9.5.11.0 update manually.
