The Xiaomi Mi 9 Pro 5G was the Chinese smartphone maker’s as well as the world’s cheapest 5G flagship smartphone at the time of its launch. But unfortunately, the device is yet to receive an Android 10 update, the latest version of Android released in September 2019. Thankfully, the firm has now started seeding out the first batch of stable Android 10 build to beta testers.
Xiaomi launched the Mi 9 Pro with 5G connectivity in the second half of 2019 exclusively for China. Although Android 10 was out when the device hit the shelves, it came with Android 9.0 Pie but with MIUI 11 onboard. However, the company did not update it to the latest version of Android until now even though it is the brand’s first 5G phone in its home country.
It took Xiaomi nearly six months to roll out the first batch of stable Android 10 update to the Mi 9 Pro 5G. Better late than never, the update is currently being seeded out to the beta users and thus stable users will have to still hang on for a while. The OTA update weighs 2.6GB in size and bumps up the security patch level to March 2020.
If the initial beta users do not encounter any critical bugs, then the same build will be rolled out as stable to normal users. Else, the beta users will receive another patch to fix those bugs and only then the normal users will get to use Android 10 on their Mi 9 Pro 5G.
