Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, Xiaomi is not looking to slow down rolling out Android 10 to its device. Early reports suggested that Redmi Note 8, Redmi 8 and 8A are in a Closed beta testing, and now the Xiaomi Mi 9 SE Android 10 starts arriving.
The Xiaomi Mi 9 SE debuted along with the flagship Mi 9 of last year, but runs a high-end Snapdragon 712 SoC instead. It was the phone that first debuted the Qualcomm processor running Android Pie. And 13 months after, the phone is receiving a new MIUI stable update based on Android 10.
The build weighs 2.2GB and has a version number MIUI 11.0.2.0 QFBEUXM. It comes along with an updated Android security patch for February 2020, bug fixes, and System Optimization.
