This means that the update will not be immediately available for all the Redmi Note 5 users in the market. So, if it is not available on your Redmi Note 5, it will gradually show up on your device in a day or two. The reason for this delay is because Xiaomi is rolling out the update in a staged manner where a small group of users receives the update so that Xiaomi can ensure that there are no serious, undetected bugs in the release that could impact user experience. There’s a host of new changes that come with the new MIUI 9.5. Most of the changes focus on optimising the performance and the user interface of the operating system.
