Xiaomi seems to have gone ballistic with the rollout of its latest MIUI 11 Stable update to various models. The update has so far started hitting the Mi 6, Mi 9, Mi Mix 3, Mi Mix 2s, Mi 8 SE, Mix 2 and even the Redmi K20 and Redmi 7, among others. Now, users of the Mi CC9 have reported that their models have started receiving OTA updates for the MIUI 11.3.1.0 stable version. The update package comes with a large 728MB size and so it is advised that updating should be done over a WiFi connection. We couldn’t verify from the changelog (in Chinese) if this new update is based on Android 9 or 10. However, considering the premium midrange rating of the Mi CC9, we want to believe it is Android 10-based.

MIUI 11 brings a whole lot of new features to the table. The new features include new icons for the UI which is a traditional feature of successive MIUI versions. The update also brings smoother animations, Ultra Power Saving Mode as well as Kids Mode which provides a safe digital environment for kids by running only apps whitelisted by their parent or guardian. MIUI 11 equally tracks the owner’s smartphone usage time in order to help avoid spending too much time. Other features include earthquake alerts, the ability to cast to an external display with the added feature of continuous casting even when the display is turned off to save battery.
As a reminder, the Mi CC9 was first announced in July this year alongside the Mi CC9e, Mi CC9 Meizu custom edition. The device was later launched as the Mi 9 Lite outside China and so we expect a swift update for the global version. The phone packs a 6.39-inch AMOLED display with a 91% screen ratio. Powering the model is a Snapdragon 710 chipset. The Mi CC9 utilises an under-display fingerprint sensor. It equally packs NFC, infrared remote control and Hi-Res HD audio.
