The Redmi Note 9 was launched in 2020. The smartphone also goes by the name of Redmi 10X 4G in China. Despite being more than two years old, the handset is still being sold in multiple regions at cheaper rates.
However, we urge you not to invest in this phone anymore. Because Xiaomi may soon end software support for it.
According to a report by Xiaomiui, Xiaomi has stopped developing internal MIUI builds for the Redmi Note 9.
This suggests that the device will not receive any major software updates going forward. At the same time, it also hints at the imminent end of software support.
The smartphone debuted with MIUI 11 based on Android 10. It was later updated to MIUI 12, followed by Android 11, MIUI 12.5, and MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition.
Earlier this year, the company started testing MIUI 13 based on Android 12 for this handset. This update is currently available for a select few users. We expect it to reach all users across different regions in the coming weeks.
Going by the details above, the software support has not been terrible for the Redmi Note 9. But we cannot deny the fact that the update delivery has been very slow.
Currently, Xiaomi is the only major Chinese OEM to lag in software support. Hopefully, the firm improves in this regard before it’s too late.
