It’s confusing keeping up with the Redmi Note 9 series lineup. Xiaomi launched a special edition for the Chinese market late last year, which is currently available globally. The Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G is a reworked Mi 10T Lite that debuted alongside the Mi 10T/Pro. The latter started receiving the Android 11 update a couple of days ago, and we expect that for the former. However, it seems the update isn’t ready as Xiaomi starts pushing a new Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G update in China. The update sans the much anticipated Android 11 but available for closed beta…

Ahead of the MIUI 12.5 global unveiling scheduled for February 8, the Redmi 7A MIUI 12 update in Europe has been released. The update, as usual, is available for limited users that’ll preview it for bugs. It’s expected to start rolling out to the public in the coming days if there’s no performance threatening bug found.

However, going by the recent report, the global Redmi Note 9 Pro Android 11 update will arrive for more users this month.  For starters, the…

It hasn’t been two months since the official presentation of MIUI 12.5. After the unveiling, those with successful beta applications started receiving the beta build. That has been going on for a while, and it seems each subsequent build brings with it new features. A couple of days ago, we detailed the new haptic feedback system and a new way to switch between the control center and notification panel. And as expected, a current MIUI 12.5 closed beta build adds another feature, dubbed AI smart charging. The new AI smart charging feature is a way to preserve battery life. With…

The Mi A3, going by the Android One policy, is the only phone out of the four Xiaomi Android One phones eligible for Android 11. The policy proposes at least two OS upgrades and three years of security patch support.
