Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite gets truckload of bug fixes, November security update rolling out too (Download links inside)

Mi 9 Lite, also sold as Mi CC9 in some markets, is a rather solid mid-ranger. The device was first announced in July 2019 and is powered by the Snapdragon 710 chipset. The phone sports 6 GB of RAM and starts at 64 GB of internal storage.

These are impressive specs for a device at any price point. It is even more impressive considering what Xiaomi is asking for this device. Interestingly, the third-gen Android One phone from Xiaomi is somehow related to this family.

While Mi A3 picked up the November patch weeks ago, Xiaomi is now rolling out the same to the Mi 9 Lite. The update comes a little late, considering that some phone makers are already pushing out the December Android security patch update to their devices. Better late than never? We think so.

FYI, this November patch is going out to the Chinese variant of the phone aka Mi CC9 at this moment. The changelog of this software version (V11.3.3.0.PFCCNXM) as well as the download link are as follows:

The same device which is sold in the Europe as the Mi 9 Lite is also getting a bugfix update. This update addresses and fixes a bug that was affecting media playback and forced the phone to reboot.

The update brings the software version running on the Mi 9 Lite to V11.3.4.0.PFCEUXM. Its changelog is quite simple for a ~700 MB incremental update:

System
– Fix: Playing music made the device reboot
