I just downloaded but couldn't install the upgrade obviously because I've installed a custom recovery. So I'll have to download the full rom and flash. So no more incremental update for me.
I changed region to Mexico.

Full rom is better if you want to avoid bugs.

Which recovery do you have?

Thank you for your time.
I have a friend schooling in China who says Google doesn't work over there, they have to use some back doors to access it, do I can comprehend the Google thing. Will the Chinese version support band 1,2 and 3?
What are the pros/advantages of Chinese version besides being cheaper and bigger RAM (6/64GB)?
Also do you know about European version?

Chinese phone versions usually do not support LTE band 20 (used by MTN, and Intercellular, note that MTN also use band 7). Others LTE bands we use here namely, LTE Bands 3, 7, 8, 40 are usually supported, though band 7 support is not as widespread as the others.

Can we order the redmi k20pro exclusive edition " 12G, 512G variant?
Its Chinese ROM/global ROM...what's the pros and cons of such ROM.
Or we should wait for the normal ROM applicable to Nigerians

That phone is China exclusive, so you have to make do with the Chinese ROM or Global ROM if you must use this device.

Global version is the Mi 9T Pro

I think this has been done because I bought the Chinese version. How will I check to confirm whether the bootloader has been unlocked or not?

First, unlock the bootloader.

We don't use bands 1 & 2 in Nigeria

Now most Chinese version have bands 3,7, 8, 40. But the CC9 series I noticed that xiaomi didn't put band 7.

Below are the LTE frequencies used in Nigeria.

NB: spectranet hardly works on any mobile phone except their modems and MIFI only few Huawei mobile phones supports spectranet.
Many thanks to you

More like 28(b)

And the band 3 coverage is poor and it is slower than the Band 28. So band 28 should be first

The band 3 is still work in progress. They are test running it. Major places in Lagos nowbhavebit, and coverage is expanding as time goes by. On the Island, it flies swiftly. Around Yana and Unilag, it fluctuates. But in Akute (Ogun state), 4g go just show for my phone, message no go deliver for WhatsApp. Will have to step down to 3g to enjoy it. It is still work in progress
But a friend in Delta state told me yesterday he saw the advert on TV about glo's band 3. Guess it will be launched sooner than we think

Oxygen Os isn't pure stock android, it is stock android plus some customization.
That's why I like it. Some tech reviewers claim it's smoother than pure stock

Landed today 27 Sept through our MR CBN, Noobody. Ordered from Goldway store AliExpress on 13 Sept for $24.99. I went for cheaper CN version and whole stuff turned turenchi as soon as I paired it with Mi Fit app. So far, d heart rate detection is better on negroid skin than hit n miss Band 3.

I wanted to put it out there the Mi CC9 doesn't have Camera2api Level 3 enabled, so no full camera control. Only basic features on GCam works

This is serious! Does this also applies to Mi CC9 meitu custom edition? And does it have a global version?
