It’s looking increasingly likely that we’ll once again witness the irregularities of the Redmi Note 8/8T Android 10 update. Xiaomi didn’t finalize the rollout until a couple of months ago and has promised Android 11, which is yet to start rolling out globally. Although there’s doubt about the update reaching the Redmi Note 8T, we’re optimistic, given that the device has essentially the same development as the Redmi Note 8. Meanwhile, a new update for Redmi Note 8T is currently seeding in Europe and Russia, with the latest Android security patch. The new update for Redmi Note 8T in Europe…

Xiaomi was among the first OEMs to start rolling out Android 11 to eligible devices in its stable. So far, the company has upgraded its flagship phones while some mid-range devices have received the build. And among the few mid-range is the Redmi Note 9 Pro.

With the Xiaomi Mi Home App, you’ll be able to control and manage these IoT…

On February 1, 2021, Xiaomi released the first Android 11-based MIUI 12 update for the global Redmi Note 9S. The update only made it to few users, given that it was a limited release. Also, some bugs were detected on the build that made the public pushed back. However, it looks like a new Android 11-based MIUI 12 update for the global Redmi Note 9S is now seeding. Interestingly, the update seems to have addressed a few bugs that plague the first release. Most Xiaomi updates arrive for Mi Pilots ( Stable Beta testers). The idea is to preview each…

It has been weeks since Xiaomi started pushing March security updates to the Redmi 9 units. The rollout started in India, and after some days, it extended to Europe and Russia. We thought Xiaomi plan to start the Android 11 rollout globally, given the delay in pushing the March patch. Unfortunately, that wasn’t it as a new global stable Redmi 9 update started seeding without a new OS. It’s a security build that brings the latest patch to increase system security. The Redmi 9 users will have to wait a bit longer before adopting the Android 11 build. And maybe…
