Xiaomi took a different approach last year with the release of the Redmi Note 9 series. The company had to launch another version for the Chinese market, given the lack of 5G connectivity on the global version. However, the Redmi 9 did make it to that region where it debuted with Android 10 on top of MIUI 12.

A couple of weeks after Xiaomi started pushing MIUI 12.5 beta builds to closed beta groups, there was a report that the update disabled the Google Play service framework. At first, it was believed to be a bug until Xiaomi confirmed it saying it was disabled due to compliances. Of course, Google is banned in China, and that’s the reason why devices developed for use in that country don’t come pre-installed with Google Play Services.
