[Update: Changelog added] Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro MIUI 12 update arrives in Europe, beginning with Turkey (Download link inside)

New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….

Original story (published on October 14, 2020) follows:

Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro (global) came out in May with Android 10-based MIUI 11 out-of-the-box while the wait was on for MIUI 12.

Also, the Redmi Note 9 Pro is in line to get the latest OS update i.e. Android 11 which, as per recent reports, might come out in Q1 2021.

The global Redmi Note 9 Pro has variants running on the global, Europe, Indonesia, Russia, and Turkey ROMs leaving the India ROM, but there is a catch.

The Indian Redmi Note 9 Pro variant had already received the MIUI 12 update back in September but the device is globally known as the Redmi Note 9S.

However, users of the global Redmi Note 9 Pro variants have been waiting for the MIUI 12 update and it seems that the wait has finally come to an end.

Now, the Turkish Redmi Note 9 Pro variant is receiving the latest custom skin which suggests other regional variants might start getting the same soon.

So, you can now grab the latest update and those who want to install it manually can download the ROM from the link given after the changelog.

Also, be sure to go through these workarounds in case you come across any errors while installing the update manually.
