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

Original story (published on October 26, 2020) follows:

A new update is available for owners of Xiaomi Mi CC9e handsets. Arriving as MIUI 12.0.3.0.QFMCNXM, the update is rolling out to Chinese variants of the Mi CC9e.

The Mi CC9e has been trialing MIUI 12 for months. The device was among the first to bag the beta update and while the initial rollout was based on Android Pie, Xiaomi later upgraded the beta firmware to Android 10.

The stable Android 10 and MIUI 12 updates have since been elusive, but this now comes to an end. So, on top of MIUI 12, Mi CC9e owners also get a new Android OS update to spice things up.

But of course, seasoned Xiaomi fans will know it is with the MIUI 12 update where all the goodies are and not the Android OS update. Still, it is great to see the update finally rolling out.

Although the full changelog remains elusive, below is a generic changelog of what you can expect after the MIUI 12 update:

Since the update is released over the air, Mi CC9e owners will have to wait for days or maybe even weeks before the download notification arrives. But why wait when we have the download link below?

For those still in the dark, the Mi CC9e was sold globally as the Mi A3 (Android One), so yeah, no global MIUI 12 update for the Mi CC9e.

Redmi 8A Dual MIUI 12 update coming soon

While Mi CC9e users are receiving the update to MIUI 12, those on the Redmi 8A Dual are tipped to receive the update soon.

According to an alleged conversation between a device owner and Xiaomi support, the MIUI 12 update for the Redmi 8A Dual should arrive sometime this week or in the weeks to follow.

Of course, there is no actual date, but with reports of a potential delay in rolling out MIUI 12 update to the entire Redmi 8 and Redmi 7 series, looks like the wait could be a little longer for Redmi 8A Dual owners as well.

As usual, though, we always take word from support guys with a pinch of salt in the eye – and so should you. We will keep an eye on the developments and let you know when the update arrives.

Meanwhile, check out our MIUI 12 tracker and even Xiaomi Android 11 update tracker to know more.

Thanks for the tip, Ankur Macwan!
