Many of you have asked us what the letters that accompany the MIUI version of your Xiaomi mean. An alphanumeric set that, beyond being random, represents a specific and really important meaning to understand what update it is.

To be exact, this set of letters and numbers is unique to each mobile device, as well as unique to each version of Android. That is why the letters and numbers that accompany the MIUI version of our Xiaomi have an important meaning that accurately represents its nature .

That is why below we are going to tell you how to understand the meaning of the numbering that accompanies each version of MIUI , so that you know what device it is aimed at, what version of Android it is based on and what type of ROM it is.

Meaning of the numbers that accompany the MIUI version

To begin to explain the meaning of the letters that accompany the MIUI version, let's take update 11.0.9.0 (PCXEUXM) as an example. As you can see, this is divided into two parts, one numerical and one alphabetical.

The numerical part of an MIUI update represents the version of the MIUI . Depending on whether it is a stable ROM or a beta version, the meaning is different:

• • Stable ROM : 11 is the MIUI version, 0 is the MIUI update version, and 9.0 is the ROM version.
  • ROM Beta : In an update type 9.2.28 9 represents the year (2019), 2 means the month (February) and 28 related to the day.

On the other hand we find the alphabetical part , a set of letters that beyond being random represent a specific meaning . These tell us exactly what version of Android it is based on, what mobile device it is for, what region it is destined for and where it comes from.

The first letter of a MIUI version represents the version of Android it is based on. For example, if this is a "Q" it will mean that it is based on Android 10:

• N : Android 7 Nougat

• L : Android 5 Lolllipop
• K : Android 4 KitKat
