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

Original story (published on July 20, 2020) follows:

Xiaomi is one of many Android OEMs that take a long while to release Android updates for their devices. The company releases a bunch of new phones every year which might be the reason why updates often take longer to arrive.

Nonetheless, Xiaomi does release at least two major Android updates for its mid-range or premium devices. Further, it also provides 2-3 MIUI version updates to these phones. The latest of which is known as MIUI 12 and is yet to release for all eligible devices.

A couple of days ago, we reported that the Redmi K20 Pro bagged the stable update in India. Further, the standard K20 has also received the Beta Stable update in the country.

Cut to now, the K20 or rather Mi 9T has now bagged the MIUI 12 update in Russia. This new update for the device comes in the form of the Beta Russia Stable version V12.0.1.0.QFJRUXM. It is currently being pushed via OTA to random users to make sure there are no major flaws before the stable release.

The announcement for the release of this new software version was made on the Mi Community forums. As expected, there are a ton of new features and improvements that have been introduced with the update.

Since the Mi 9T Beta Stable has been released in Russia, we do expect to see the stable MIUI 12 update to roll out soon. Unfortunately, there’s no ETA for it. Thus, we will have to wait for an official statement from Xiaomi on the matter.

That being said, you can check out our MIUI 12 update tracker to know when it will arrive on your device.

Update 1 (July 25)

The MIUI 12 update rollout has been paused for the Global, European, and Russian Xiaomi Mi 9T units due to a minor bug. The information for this was shared by a Mi community moderator. The update will begin rolling out again once the issue has been fixed. See the full story here.

IST 01:05 pm: The battery drain issue on Mi 9T devices – an issue that was originally reported after the Android 10 update (with MIUI 11) – is now being called a known issue even in the MIUI 12 update. Complete coverage here.
