Besides installing Android 9 Pie, the MIUI 10 8.9.6 update also brings along this month’s Android security patch, which is pretty interesting to see from Xiaomi. As noted, this is beta software that’s only rolling out to those in the beta program and is limited to the Chinese ROM, at least for now.

Xiaomi is calling it insider beta update that is available only to a handful of users who joined the beta program. But the company is promising the release of Android 9 Pie beta for the global variant soon.
