Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 MIUI 12 update re-released in India (Download link inside)

Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 is among the many devices that have received the MIUI 12 update. The Global, European, Indian, and Indonesian Redmi Note 9 variants picked the latest custom skin after the Chinese variant, known as Xiaomi Redmi 10X 4G, bagged MIUI 12 back in June.

However, the update was re-released for the Chinese Redmi Note 9 variant after a month. Also, the Global variant got the re-released MIUI 12 update back in August. Now, it seems that the Indian Redmi Note 9 variant is also getting the same treatment.

It seems that the OEM is rolling out a new MIUI 12 update to the Redmi Note 9 in India. The update might be re-released because not everyone got their hands on the MIUI 12 version 12.0.1.0.QJOINXM.

Users of the Indian Redmi Note 9 variant can grab the update version 12.0.2.0.QJOINXM as it is live over the air. Nevertheless, those who want to go for manual installation can grab the update from the download link given below.
