How to update "Redmi Note 9" to higher Android version?

[Alex2873645]

I have a phone "Redmi Note 9" which has Android Version 10 on it. Although I checked everywhere for an Android update (and updated apps via "Google Play" and "System apps updater" as far as it goes) I do not see an update for a newer Android version anywhere. Is there some hidden setting to update to a newer Android version, or how can I do this?

I think you can only get the latest update through a custom ROM or manually upgrading your device. It is important to note that it can be a complex and potentially risky process that can damage your device.

Your device can upgrade to android 11, but this is dependent on your carrier and manufacturer as to when.
You have the option to wait until they decide to release it, or rooting the device with the android 11 rom....

which redmi note 9 do you have? the 4G version? what is your model number?

i do not have your phone and i see that there is a Redmi Note 9 and a Redmi Note 9 4G. just the note 9 can be upgraded to android 11 while the note 9 4G can be upgraded to android 12.

and as @Dannydet suggested updates will depend on your carrier and manufacturer. if you know your exact model of the phone, you can do a search and see if there is a firmware update available for your phone. keep in mind that firmware updates are very device specific and installing the wrong firmware can have seriously bad consequences.
