[Download] Redmi 9A gets MIUI 12.0.11 update with February 2021 security patch
The launch of MIUI 12 was a big event for Xiaomi, Redmi, and Poco device owners. The new skin was released last year. Starting with Xiaomi Mi 9, Redmi K20 Pro/Mi 9T Pro, and Redmi K20/Mi 9T, it is making the way to more devices. Later Redmi 9A enjoyed MIUI 12, and now the same device is globally receiving February 2021 security patch.
Surprisingly, instead of bringing the stable update to new high-end devices, Xiaomi is seeding out the MIUI 12 update to all the Mid-range devices too. However, Redmi 9A is receiving a new software update that is based on Android 10 and brings the firmware number V12.0.11.0.QCDMIXM. Moreover, it fixes several bugs say, the issue of noise that could be heard while the screen was asleep.
