The Redmi Note 9T launched earlier this year as a rebranded Redmi Note 9 5G for the global markets. The device debuted with MIUI 12 based on Android 10. Months after its release, the handset has now started receiving the MIUI 12.5 update based on Android 11.

Last week, Xiaomi started rolling out the Android 11-based MIUI 12.5 update for the Redmi Note 9 5G. Hence, Redmi Note 9T, the international version of this smartphone was expected to get the same update in near future.

But we did not anticipate Xiaomi to deliver the update for ‘EEA’ and ‘Global’ variants of the Redmi Note 9T just a week after the release of the update in China. That said, the update comes with build numbers V12.5.2.0.RJEEUXM and V12.5.2.0.RJEMIXM for these two versions of the phone.

Both the above-mentioned software builds are in the ‘Stable Beta’ phase. This means they are being seeded out in batches and are only available for a select few users. 

Anyway, all users of the Redmi Note 9T EEA and Global variants should receive the MIUI 12.5 based on Android 11 update in the following weeks. The remaining Russia and Taiwan versions of the handset will certainly get a similar treatment soon.

Although Xiaomi sells expensive smartphones, the company’s cheaper handsets are popular worldwide. In fact, in India. Xiaomi is known as Redmi among commoners, thanks to value for money phones like Redmi A series, Redmi number series, and Redmi Note series. The latter series has now achieved a huge milestone, as per Xiaomi.

Yesterday, ahead of the Mi 11 global launch event, Xiaomi India announced a brag-worthy achievement on its various social media handles.

The Chinese smartphone maker revealed that it has shipped over 200 million units of Redmi Note series phones globally to date. This data is sourced from the firm’s own ‘Xiaomi Data Center’.

It is not surprising to learn that the global shipments of the Redmi Note series have exceeded 200 million units since its inception. This series has been the heart of Xiaomi’s product lineup ever since it was introduced.

Redmi Notes have been unbeatable in their price segment for a very long time. However, that began to change when realme entered the scene. But being an established product lineup, they are still as popular as they were before.

That said, Xiaomi is known for announcing its milestones ahead of releasing new devices. Hence, we think the Redmi Note 10 series is just around the corner. The upcoming series is reported to include two models, namely Redmi Note 10 and Redmi Note 10 Pro. As of now, we are only aware of the storage configurations and color variants of these handsets.
