Xiaomi’s latest flagship, the Mi 9 has reportedly received a new update adding a couple of new features. The Mi 9 runs on the latest MIUI 10 based on Android 9.0 Pie and the update ushers in the MIUI V10.2.16.0.PFACNXM stable version. The major feature which the update brings in an optimisation of the water drop notch that sits on top of the display, housing the selfie camera.
From the update log shared by Xiaomi, the new version adds a feature that when enabled would make the shape of the water drop notch to become dynamic. That is, the shape will change to different patterns. Unfortunately, no detail was given on how this is going to work. But it was specified that the feature can be turned on and off as the user desires. The new update also brings fixes to several issues that affect system security and stability. It also fixes the problem of overlapping call times and notification icons during a call.

The Mi 9 is still relatively new as it was only launched last month. The water drop notch on the Mi 9 isn’t really looking like an actual water droplet but is U shaped. Perhaps, the update will bring more interesting looking notch shapes. Since the model isn’t yet in the hands of many interested buyers, the feature won’t get many users right now but it sounds interesting. We expect the device would have this update on units that are yet to leave the factory.
