You might not see a lot of changes on the surface since Xiaomi’s custom skin MIUI 10 remains the same, but the latest update allows you to try out a variety of mods targetting Android 9 Pie. The firmware can be installed using the “Choose update package” option in Settings>About phone>System Update.

You can also flash the update packages using TWRP or MiFlash tool but be careful to check for options in the latter that might re-lock the bootloader of your device in the process.
