Xiaomi Mi Note 10/Mi CC9 Pro MIUI 12.5 stable update released (Download link inside)

The Xiaomi Mi Note 10 has been touted as the ‘world’s first 108MP penta-camera setup’ and has a pretty impressive overall camera spec sheet with a 108MP primary, 5MP and 12MP telephoto lens, 20MP wide-angle lens, and a macro lens.

The device is powered by an impressively large 5260mAh battery that has been encased in a beautiful premium design with a curved display.

On the software side of things, the Mi Note 10 was the first smartphone to boot MIUI 11 out of the box based on Android Pie.

Since then, the device has been updated to Android 11, which is likely its last Android version update. The OS is skinned with Xiaomi’s custom Android skin called MIUI 12.

But ever since the launch of MIUI 12.5 late last year, users of the Mi Note 10 (also known as the Mi CC9 Pro in China) have been eagerly waiting for the next big MIUI update.

For the uninitiated, the MIUI 12.5 update brings about a slew of changes with the most notable ones being performance improvements, enhanced privacy features, an updated Notes app, new animations, and some UI tweaks.

The wait has officially come to an end, at least for the Chinese users, as the Mi CC9 Pro has now bagged the MIUI 12.5 update in the form of a stable beta.
