The Redmi Note 5 was launched back in 2017, running Snapdragon 625 with MIUI 9.5 based Android 8.1 Oreo. It has since picked the Android 9 Pie. However, in the last couple of months, the device has not received any form of support, and amid the arrival of MIUI 12 update on the device, Xiaomi has now released a new global stable update for the Redmi Note 5.
The update is based on MIUI 11. It brings the August security patch to the device in a 523MB size package, and with a version number, MIUI 11.0.5.0 PEIMIXM. Below is the changelog of the new update.

Aside from the changes in the changelog, the update brings Ultra battery saver to the device. The function, when activated, closes all power-draining apps in the background. It also turns on a black theme to save battery, leaving a few apps on the screen. However, you can always edit and add more apps by clicking on the edit button at the top left. To exit the ultra battery saver mode, click on the exit button at the top right.
Meanwhile, to scan for the new update, which is only available for limited users, for now, head over to System Updates and perform a manual scan. You can also follow our download link below to get the recovery ROM, which you flash using the recovery method.
