Xiaomi is known for providing two Android updates and three MIUI updates for the majority of its smartphones. However, most phones powered by MediaTek usually only get fewer updates when compared to the Qualcomm models. Thankfully, that’s not the case for three popular MediaTek-powered Xiaomi handsets from 2020.
According to Xiaomiui, Redmi 9, Redmi Note 9, and POCO M2 will not only receive MIUI 13 but Android 12 as well. The trio has already got an internal update based on the latest version of Android.
Most of the time, Xiaomi limits the budget MediaTek smartphones to a single or no Android update. However, the company manages to deliver at least one MIUI update.
The aforementioned phones have already received an Android update in the form of Android 11. Hence, Android 12 will be their second Android update. At the same time, MIUI 13 will also be their second major MIUI update as all three debuted with MIUI 11 and were updated to MIUI 12.
This means the forthcoming Android 12-based MIUI 13 update will likely be the last major software update for Redmi 9, Redmi Note 9, and POCO M2. Finally, it is worth noting that the former two handsets are also known as Redmi 9 Prime and Redmi 10X 4G in India and China respectively.
