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

Original story (published on August 13, 2020) follows:

The Global Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 units bagged the MIUI 12 update based on Android 10 towards the end of last month. However, for unknown reason, the update was rolled back. So users who weren’t able to download the update with the first rollout have still been waiting to receive it.

Fortunately, Global Redmi Note 9 users won’t have to wait much longer since Xiaomi has officially announced the re-release of the MIUI 12 update for the device. This new update comes as version 12.0.3.0.QJOMIXM and has begun rolling out via OTA.

As it turns out, the same thing happened with the Chinese variant of the Redmi Note 9 aka the Redmi 10X 4G. However, the Redmi 10X 4G got the re-released MIUI 12 update a couple of weeks ago. Further, the stable MIUI 12 update has also been released in Europe and India for the Redmi Note 9.
