Xiaomi is expected to unveil the Redmi 10 series in the coming weeks. Ahead of that, the company has started updating the Redmi 9 series to MIUI 12.5. The first model in the lineup to get the latest version of MIUI is the vanilla Redmi 9.

Just last month, Xiaomi rolled out the Android 11 update for the Redmi 9. In fact, this update is yet to reach all the regional variants of the handset. Despite that, the firm has already begun to seed MIUI 12.5 update in China.

The latest system update for the Redmi 9 in China arrives with build number V12.5.1.0.RJCCNXM. This software build is currently labeled as ‘Stable Beta’, which means it is being rolled out in batches.

The update should reach all the users in China in the upcoming days. Similarly, the other regional variants of this phone will be also getting the update shortly.

The POCO M2 sold in India is a rebadged Redmi 9. However, it is yet to receive the Android 11 update. Maybe, it will be getting both MIUI 12.5 as well as Android 11 together via a single OTA system update.

That being said, as per a reliable tipster, the Redmi 9 should be eligible for MIUI 13 update. But unfortunately, it is not sure whether it will be updated to Android 12.
