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. It was late last year that Xiaomi released the update, but only in selected regions. They’re yet to extend rollout, and going by our previous report, the update will arrive very soon – just before MIUI 12.5 starts rolling out. Meanwhile, a new Stable update for Redmi Note 9 Pro has been released. The…

Xiaomi is currently the third biggest smartphone maker in the world. But even at that, they are still very active in the IoT (internet of things) sector, having invested RMB 10 billion (~$1.5B) in AIoT ( Artificial intelligence + IoT). The company’s IoT and lifestyle sector currently accounts for over 30% of Xiaomi’s revenue. According to the Xiaomi Q3 2020 report, over 289 million IoT devices are connected to its platform, and 5.6 million users have five or more devices connected to the AIoT platform. 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.

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…

Xiaomi has been swiftly rolling out the Android 11 update to compatible devices in its stable for a while now. But while some devices, perhaps regions, are already on their fourth to fifth Android 11-based MIUI 12 build, some are getting the update for the first time. That’s the situation of the Mi 10T and Mi 10T Pro units sold in Indonesia as they start receiving their first stable Android 11 update, months since the European models adopted the build. But what’s interesting is that it brings the March security patch, unlike the global and EEA models that currently have…
