Redmi Note 9 Android 12-based MIUI 13 build has been released to developers in China. The update is exclusive for internal testers, but the build number shows it’ll start rolling for the public soon.
Xiaomi silently changed its update policy when it released Android 11 to the Redmi Note 8 and Redmi Note 8 Pro. Before that, it was one Android upgrade to the Note series phones, but they now get two OS upgrades.

The device has been testing the update for months, but the time has come for it to start rolling out to eligible users. As spotted by Xiaomiui, a build with a version number MIUI 13.0.1.0 SJOCNXM has been released to developers for internal testing. Of course, it’s based on Android 12, while the codename “Merlin” confirms it’s for the Redmi Note 9.
