In general, it seems better than what other brands are doing, so... Could be better, definitely could be worse.
Xiaomi should seriously consider renaming or reordering their lineup. It's such a mess, especially on those Redmi named phones.
On my Mi 9T I have already the 3rd Android update (2nd MIUI update) - xiaomi.eu custom ROM.
I have the redmi 9 and it's still using miui 11 the latest version no android update or miu 12 yet. Any news on this specific phone?
