Despite the fact that at first Xiaomi resisted updating the Xiaomi Redmi 6 and Redmi 6A to Android 9 under MIUI 10, the company thought better of it and launched a beta for users in China. Now, the company has just officially released the update for all those who have one of these devices. As usually happens in any self-respecting update, Android 9 will arrive in a phased manner to all the countries where the terminals are marketed.
This means that if you have a Xiaomi Redmi 6 or Redmi 6A, it is very likely that you will receive a pop-up message on your mobile screen advising you of the update. If weeks go by and not, you can check it yourself from the settings, software updates section. Android 9 Pie includes the MIUI 10 company customization layer and the July security patch. It has a weight of 1.3 GB, so it is necessary that you have this space at the time of the update.
Android 9 with MIUI 10 comes with interesting news and improvements. One of them is the long-awaited dark mode, which darkens the interface, not only to relax the view, but also so that the device consumes less battery. You will also notice faster loading times, thanks to the fact that the system learns from our behavior in anticipation. Another novelty is the possibility of being able to take bokeh photos with any mobile, and not only with those that have a double sensor. Of course, Android 9 Pie with MIUI 10 is more agile and minimalist than ever, helping us when working and using heavier apps.
As we always advise when updating, try to do it in a place with a stable and secure connection. Avoid open and public WiFis. On the other hand, have your Xiaomi Redmi 6 or 6A fully charged at the time of the update. Also, try to make a backup of all your data and files beforehand in case something happens during the process.
