The latest version of Android, Android 8.0 Oreo has been recently released at the beginning of this month. This announcement was made by Google at an event held at the headquarters in San Francisco where the company revealed the name of the next version of Android as well as its version. Google also announced that the official update has already been released for the Nexus and Pixel devices. In terms of the Android 8.0 Oreo update, we have always seen that the Google branded devices like the Google Pixels and the Nexuses always get the update first but the other devices have to wait a very long time for their turn to get the taste of latest version of Android.
However, we have the developer community behind every device to thank for providing us with the latest update in form of custom ROMs. One such device to get the latest update is the Redmi Note 4 released by Xiaomi in the beginning of this year. This build released for the device is LineageOS 15.0 but note that this is an unofficial build so bugs are expected from this build.
Now, if you want Android 8.0 Oreo on your Redmi Note 4 then you can flash the LineageOS 15.0 on the device as soon as possible but note that bugs are expected.
