Recently, Xiaomi added the Redmi Note 9 to its EOS (End of Support) list. When a device hits this list, it no longer receives software updates from the company.
But surprisingly, Xiaomi is assuring its consumers that it will deliver one major update for this smartphone. The firm has even revealed a timeline for when the update could roll out.
At the end of June, Xiaomi officially ended software support for the Redmi Note 9 by enlisting it on the EOS page. But now, within a week. The company reveals that it will roll out a major update for the said handset.
In an email to a consumer, the Xiaomi Support team has revealed that the firm will deliver MIUI 14 update for the Redmi Note 9. This update will be rolled out in either Q3 or Q4 of 2023.
If this is true, then MIUI 14 will be the third major MIUI update for the Redmi Note 9. For the unaware, the phone was released with MIUI 11 based on Android 10.
Since it has already received two Android upgrades, the MIUI 14 update will most likely be based on Android 12 rather than Android 13. It would have been nice to have the current latest Android but that’s fine for the product’s retail price.
It is worth noting that the Redmi Note 9 went by Redmi 10X 4G in China. We are not sure if that device will get a similar treatment.
