The Redmi K20 / Mi 9T becomes the latest Xiaomi phone to start receiving a stable Android 11 update. We anticipated the update, but with MIUI 12.5. However, the update is now available in India, but sans the latest iteration of MIUI. It means Xiaomi plans to roll out the new OS for the Redmi K20 with a separate update. Xiaomi has been rolling out MIUI 12.5 and Android 11 simultaneously for a handful of phones in recent weeks.

Xiaomi is one of the first OEMs to start rolling out a stable Android 11 update after the official release. The rollout began about seven months ago, with the Redmi Note 9 series among the first few Xiaomi phones to receive the update.

The company had to find a way and address these issues, which probably prompted the development of MIUI 12.5.
