Xiaomi decided to upgrade its mobile phones to Android 10, which did not go as planned for some Mi9T and Redmi K20 mobile phones. People reported that there was a major problem with the battery drain that was affecting their devices. Due to this, Xiaomi took off its update to improve it and fix the bugs.

Android 10

Both the Xiaomi smartphones, Mi9T and Redmi K20 offer the same hardware specs. They have a 6.39-inch screen with a resolution of 2340 X 1080 pixels. Also, they boast a flagship-level Snapdragon 855 processor.
Xiaomi is rolling out Android 10 builds of MIUI 11 to the Mi9T and Redmi K20 in various stages. These Xiaomi handsets are the first to get the latest version of Google’s OS.
The OS upgrade’s arrival was as V11.0.2.0. But Xiaomi got Android 10 for EU and Global handsets with V11.0.4.0. It appears that there were some issues with this update because there were reports that some devices were experiencing an unusual problem of battery drain.
As a result, Xiaomi pulled V11.0.4.0, and the version was no longer seen on the Play Store. Now, it looks like the Android 10 is available for downloading again, still as V11.0.4.0. It is unclear whether the first mobile phones releasing will receive the new update or not.

They have already commenced the wider rollout of the stable Android 10 OS to the Mi 9T and Redmi K20. Though the software version did not experience any change; it will remain V11.0.4.0 only.
