Ausdroid reviewed the Xiaomi Mi 9T in September and liked it. As part of that review, we were told that the device would see and update in Q4 of this year. Xiaomi have stayed true to that promise, pushing out the update to devices this week.

This news comes thanks to regular reader – and former writer for Ausdroid – Jamie who has confirmed this from his JB Hifi purchsed unit.

As previously noted, the update brings version 11 of MIUI which includes a heap of changes for users. A re-design of the user interface and always on display are immediately noticeable. The theme was very simple to change on previous versions of MIUI, nothing appears to have changed from the information we have been provided.

MiShare is a proprietary file sharing option which duplicates existing options in the OS, but with Xiaomi’s own flavour. There are several other functions which have been tweaked as part of the update, take a look at the screenshots if you’re interested to know more.

Our contacts are looking to confirm which other devices will see updates for us. We’ll be sharing that information once we have it, hopefully very soon.
