The Mi 9 SE is the latest Xiaomi smartphone to get the MIUI 12 update. The global variants of the upper mid-range phone which was announced last year already received the MIUI 12 update. Now, it is the turn of the China variant.
The update is 833MB in size according to a screenshot shared by ITHome and it comes with version number V12.0.2.0.QFBCNXM. The Chinese blog reports that while the update brings some significant improvements, there are still some bugs according to those who have installed it.
MIUI 12 brings a revamped user interface, new animation engine, new permission settings, and more.
The Mi 9 SE has a 5.97-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a waterdrop notch. There is a fingerprint scanner under the display and the notch is home to a 20MP selfie camera. The device has a Snapdragon 712 processor under the hood that is paired with 6GB of RAM and 64GB or 128GB of non-expandable storage.
On the back is a 48MP main camera + 8MP ultrawide camera + 13MP telephoto camera setup and under the glass back is a 3070mAh battery with support for 18W fast charging.
This year, Xiaomi didn’t release a Mi 10 SE which was disappointing which meant folks couldn’t pick up a smaller sized Mi 10 with watered-down specs and a more affordable price tag.
