Redmi Note 9 Pro is the fourth Xiaomi phone and its first non-Android One phone to feature in Google’s Android Enterprise Recommended list.

Redmi Note 9 Pro has been featured in Google’s latest list of Android Enterprise Recommended smartphones, marking a new milestone for Xiaomi. While Xiaomi phones have featured in Google’s recommendation list of smartphones for business users before, this is the first Xiaomi smartphone running on its custom MIUI interface to feature in the list of Google recommended devices. So far, Xiaomi phones featuring in the Android Enterprise Recommended devices list have included Mi A2, Mi A2 Lite and Mi A3, all of which run on Android One and not MIUI.

As a result, this marks a major milestone for Xiaomi, since this is the first time that Google has recommended a smartphone running on the custom MIUI interface for business users. Google has a set of requirements for devices to feature in its business recommended Android devices, including a streamlined interface and frequent software updates. According to Google, Android devices qualifying for this list will have to roll out all Android security updates within 90 days of them being released by Google. As a result, Xiaomi smartphone users purchasing the Redmi Note 9 Pro can expect regular and more frequent software updates on the device.
