[Updated] Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 MIUI 12 update hits devices in Europe (Download link inside)

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

Original story (published on August 04, 2020) follows:

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 is also know as the Redmi 10X 4G in China, which FYI, received the MIUI 12 update in June. But for some reason, Xiaomi had pulled the update and re-released it a month later. Not much later, the Global variant of the Redmi Note 9 also picked up the stable MIUI 12 package.

Unfortunately, many users in Pakistan were not able to download the update since it had appeared that the ISPs in the country had blocked Xiaomi’s servers. Thankfully, a couple of days later, users began reporting that the issue had been fixed.

That being said, while Redmi Note 9/Redmi 10X 4G users of the Global and Chinese variants were receiving the update, users with the European variants were left waiting. Although, since the Global variants got the update, we expected to see it arrive on the European units soon.

As it turns out, the wait wasn’t all that long. The Redmi Note 9 devices in Europe are now receiving the new stable Android 10-based MIUI 12 update via an OTA package. It arrives as version V12.0.1.0.QJOEUXM and brings a ton of new features and improvements over the existing MIUI 11 skin.

Further, although not mentioned, it might also bring the fix for the proximity sensor bug that was affecting the Note 9, 9S, and 9 Pro. Nevertheless, here’s the exhaustive changelog for the update:
