Xiaomi launched the Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G as a China-exclusive smartphone in late November 2020. The phone debuted with MIUI 12 based on Android 10. Now, four months after its release, this handset has started receiving the much-awaited Android 11 update.

The Android 11 update for the Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G comes with build number V12.0.2.0.RJSCNXM. It is currently in the Stable Beta phase.

In other words, this update is only available for a select few users. By limiting the rollout, Xiaomi can avoid any catastrophe if there are issues with the build. Anyway, all units should get this update in the coming days.

Although the Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G is only available in China, this phone is sold with different names with some tweaks in certain regions. In India, this very same smartphone without NFC is called Mi 10i. Whereas, in Europe, this device with a 64MP primary camera (instead of 108MP) is called Mi 10T Lite.

All three handsets run near-identical MIUI build with some minor changes. The Mi 10T Lite was the first to get the Android 11 update in February. Now, the update is also available for the Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G.

Hence, the Mi 10i sold in India should be the next to get the Android 11 update. That said, all these three devices are also eligible for MIUI 12.5 update.

Xiaomi Mi 10i could soon receive Android 11 update as Mi 10T Lite bags it

Xiaomi launched the Mi 10T Lite alongside the Mi 10T and the Mi 10T Pro in late September. The handset debuted with MIUI 12 based on Android 10. Now, months after its release, this device has finally started receiving the Android 11 update.

Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite

The Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite ships with two types of MIUI builds – Global and EEA. But currently, only the variant running the global build is receiving the Android 11 update.

Above all, the update with build number V12.0.2.0.RJSMIXM is currently in the ‘Stable Beta’ phase. Hence, it is being only seeded out to select users. If these early adopters don’ face any major issues, the availability of this update will be extended for more customers.

Similarly, Xiaomi should start delivering the Android 11 update not only to the EEA variant of Mi 10T Lite but also Mi 10i and Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G very soon.

That’s because the Redmi Note 9 Pro that debuted in late November 2020 in China is basically the Mi 10T Lite with a 108MP primary sensor. On the other hand, the Mi 10 that released in India last month is a rebranded version of the Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G.

Hence, these three phones codenamed gauguin run the same MIUI build with regional tweaks. That said, going by Xiaomi’s update track record, this trio should get at least one more Android update and three MIUI updates.
