It can be confusing to keeping up with Xiaomi phones due to their naming. The company keeps renaming its phone in every region, which is the case with the Redmi 9 Prime. It is the same device as the Redmi 9 but exclusive to India, and hence, will receive the MIUI 12.5 on the first wave. The next iteration of MIUI will start seeding next month, and the Redmi 9 (Prime) is among the first few to get the update. And probably due to that, Xiaomi has started pushing a new security patch update for the Redmi 9 Prime with the latest Android security patch.
Of course, the update is on a limited rollout and will only arrive for selected users. They’ll preview the build for bugs, and if none is found, the public will start receiving the update in the coming days. It will arrive with a version number – MIUI 12.0.2.0 QJCINXM – and weighs in at 563MB. The update brings the March security patch to improve system security and stability. Some minor bugs have been fixed as the device gets set to start receiving the MIUI 12.5 update.
Also, Xiaomi is expected to upgrade the device to Android 11, given that it debuted running Android 10. However, it doesn’t seem like the company has started making plans yet, but we hope to find out soon. You can stay updated with Xiaomi Android 11 update by following our tracker page. We keep a record of all Xiaomi phones that have received the update.
