Xiaomi finally started rolling out the Android 11 update for the Redmi Note 9 at the end of June. This update is now finally live in India. Unlike other regional variants, except for China, the model for India is also being bumped to MIUI 12.5 alongside last year’s Android.
The MIUI 12.5 update based on Android 11 for the Redmi Note 9 in India arrives with build number V12.5.1.0.RJOINXM. The software build is in the Stable Beta phase, which means it is being rolled out in batches.
Hence, the latest system update for the handset should be only available for a select few users in the country right now. Anyway, all users will be getting it in the coming days.
The Redmi Note 9 launched in the first half of 2020 with MIUI 11 based on Android 10. The smartphone was updated to MIUI 12 last year. Since it has only received a single major MIUI update so far, it should be eligible for MIUI 13.
It is worth noting that the Redmi Note 9 sold in international markets is known as Redmi 10X 4G. That device got Android 11 update way back in February, followed by MIUI 12.5 in July.
It’s a pity that customers outside China have to wait longer to experience the new software on some of the Xiaomi phones. We hope the company improves its software update delivery with the release of MIUI 13.
