Among the expectations of those who bought it or are about to do so, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 receives the MIUI 9 Global Stable. The news comes directly from the official MIUI site, where the international ROM has been included in the appropriate product page. However, we would like to specify a detail.
Xiaomi Redmi Note 5: MIUI 9 Global Stable released
As specified in the page in question, the release is the MIUI V9.2.6.0.NEIMIEK and has a size of 1.6 GB. The exact same wording (and size) is used for the MIUI 9 Global available for the Redmi Note 5 Pro (the Indian one). Therefore it is not yet clear whether it is the ROM actually for the Chinese variant or if it is an error. As soon as we have news about it we will not delay to update you.
Specifications
The Redmi Note 5 sports a 5.99-inch full-HD+ (1080×2160 pixels) 18:9 display. The phone is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 SoC, coupled with 3GB, 4GB, or 6GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 32GB/ 64GB internal storage. To recall, the Redmi Note 5 Pro in India has only 4GB RAM, 64GB storage and 6GB RAM, 128GB storage variants.
The Smartphone has a vertical aligned dual rear camera setup that gets a 12MP primary sensor and a 5MP secondary sensor.

It also gains dual-pixel PDAF, unlike the India model, which just has PDAF. There is also a 13MP front sensor with AI and HDR for selfies and video calling; the Indian Redmi Note 5 Pro has a 20MP front camera.
