The popular model gets Android 11

Smartphone Redmi Note 9S is very popular as a model of the lower middle class almost a year after its introduction. Its owners can these days, according to the portal GizmoChina look forward to updating with the system Android 11.

Android 11 is complemented by the MIUI 12 extension

The Redmi Note 9S was launched in March last year with the Android 10 and the MIUI 11 superstructure. It was sold in India after the Redmi Note 9 Pro designation. However, the global version is labeled Redmi Note 9S, and the Android 11 update it is now receiving is labeled Redmi Note 9S V12.0.1.0.RJWMIXM. its size is about 2.5 GB.

The smartphone manufacturer Xiaomi refers to the update as “Stable Beta”, but it should already be a full-fledged stable version. The superstructure above the system is in the MIUI 12 version, which the device already received some time ago. The manufacturer is not expected to introduce the MIUI 12.5 superstructure version for the global market until February 8. If Redmi Note 9S notifies you when an update is available, make sure you have a sufficiently charged battery before installing it. We recommend at least 50%.
