[Update: Download link] Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro Max MIUI 12 update reportedly rolling out partially

This story is being continuously updated…. New updates are being added at the bottom…..

Original story (published on September 29, 2020) follows:

Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro Max was released back in March with Android 10 out-of-the-box but the wait for MIUI 12 is still on.

It has been more than five months since Xiaomi announced MIUI 12 and a lot of devices have received the latest custom skin since then.

Now, it seems that the Redmi Note 9 Pro Max is also getting the MIUI 12 update in India but it might not roll out to all users for the time being.

An announcement post from the Xiaomi Global Community channel on Telegram indicates that the Redmi Note 9 Pro Max MIUI 12 update is being partially rolled out to random users.

However, this is not yet confirmed as the update version 12.0.1.0.QJXINXM is not available to download and no official announcements have been made by the OEM.

In fact, there are no reports from users of the Redmi Note 9 Pro Max or Mi Pilot testers who might have received the latest custom UI.

It must be noted that a Xiaomi feedback team member has recently stated on the Mi Community that the Redmi Note 9 Pro Max will soon receive the custom skin update, however, there is no ETA.

Hi there.
Thanks for reaching out to us.
Redmi note 9 pro max will be receiving Miui 12 soon.
Kindly note that there is no ETA for the update to arrive for the Redmi note 9 pro max.
Please stay tuned in the community for such announcements.
Thanks

While it is unclear whether the update is indeed live for select Redmi Note 9 Pro Max users or not, the comment from the feedback team member suggests that the partial rollout might be live after all.

Moreover, we recently reported that all remaining Xiaomi devices are expected to receive the latest custom skin by October-end and the Redmi Note 9 Pro Max is also among those devices.

Nevertheless, this is still based on our speculation but you can help us by dropping a comment below if you have received the latest custom skin on your Redmi Note 9 Pro Max.

That said, we will keep tracking this for further development and will provide updates as and when new information becomes available.

In the meantime, you can check out our MIUI 12 update tracker if you own some other Xiaomi device which is yet to bag the latest custom skin.
