Redmi is a sub-brand of Xiaomi, and it completely shares the HyperOS / MIUI system, so the process of installing Binance is almost identical to Xiaomi's. However, low-end Redmi models (such as the Redmi Note series and Redmi A series) with smaller RAM are prone to having the installation killed by the system halfway through. This article clarifies these details specific to Redmi. First, go to the Binance Official Site to register an account. For the Android installation package download, click Binance Official APP. iPhone users, please check the iOS Installation Guide.
What Are the Differences Between Redmi and Xiaomi in Installation?
From a system perspective, Redmi and Xiaomi run the exact same HyperOS, and the process for installing APKs, pop-ups, and permission settings paths are identical. The differences mainly lie in three areas:
- Performance Differences: Mid-to-low-end Redmi models have smaller RAM (6 GB or even 4 GB), resulting in a higher probability of background apps being killed during installation.
- Storage Speed: Low-end Redmi devices generally use eMMC or low-speed UFS, so the time it takes to write the APK and complete the installation is about 30% longer than on Xiaomi flagships.
- Pre-installed App Differences: Redmi pre-installs fewer system apps, leading to fewer browser options when encountering the "Install unknown apps" settings.
But all core steps are the same—addressing the two risk warnings in HyperOS + allowing the browser to install unknown apps.
Complete Process for Installing Binance on Redmi
Step 1: Check Storage Space and Memory
Before installing an APK on mid-to-low-end Redmi devices, it is recommended to manually clear background apps and cache. The reasons are:
- The Binance APK is about 53 MB.
- Temporary files for installation decompression will take up an additional 100 MB or so.
- The system will also reserve space for dex2oat optimization.
If the remaining space is less than 300 MB, the installation will fail. It is recommended to go to "Settings" → "About phone" → "Storage" to check the available space first.
Regarding memory, it's recommended to swipe up on the task management screen to clear all background APPs before installing Binance. The phenomenon of "returning to the desktop halfway through installation" frequently seen on the Redmi Note 13 and earlier Note series is caused by too many background APPs squeezing out the installation process.
Step 2: Download the Official Binance APK
Open the built-in browser on Redmi or Chrome (needs to be installed first). The built-in browser on Redmi is essentially a stripped-down version of the Xiaomi browser, and its functionality and stability are sufficient.
Visit the Binance official website, find the download portal, and click Android. The APK is about 53 MB. The download time on WiFi is:
- Redmi K Series: 10-20 seconds
- Redmi Note Series: 20-40 seconds
- Redmi A Series: 30-60 seconds (depending on WiFi)
Once the download is complete, the system notification bar will prompt "Download complete". Tap the notification to directly enter the installation screen.
Step 3: Deal with the First Risk Warning
HyperOS will pop up the first confirmation box:
"This app has not been scanned for security by the Xiaomi App Store and may pose risks."
Tap "Continue to install". The button placement on older Redmi models is different from Xiaomi; sometimes the button is in the middle of the bottom of the pop-up rather than the bottom right, so be careful not to tap the wrong one.
Step 4: Enable Unknown Sources Permission
If this is your first time installing an APK from this browser, the system will prompt: "For your security, your phone is not allowed to install unknown apps from this source."
Operation:
- Tap "Settings"
- Under "Install unknown apps", find the browser you just used
- Turn on "Allow from this source"
- Return to continue
Step 5: Address the Second "I am aware of the risks" Confirmation
HyperOS 2 and above will pop up a second confirmation:
- A risk warning in red text
- The "Continue to install" button will be grayed out for 10 seconds
- A checkbox at the bottom saying "I am aware of the risks, continue to install"
You need to:
- Wait for the 10-second countdown to finish
- Check "I am aware of the risks, continue to install"
- Tap "Continue to install"
The Redmi Note 13 and earlier models run HyperOS 1, where the countdown is only 5 seconds, or there might be no countdown at all. The Redmi K80, K80 Pro, and subsequent new devices running HyperOS 2 have a 10-second countdown.
Step 6: Complete Installation
After checking and confirming, the system starts the actual installation. The progress bar takes about:
- Redmi K Series: 15-20 seconds
- Redmi Note Series: 25-35 seconds
- Redmi A Series: 40-60 seconds
Once installed, tap "Open" or return to the desktop to find the yellow Binance B icon.
Important Notes for Different Redmi Models
| Model | System | Special Reminders |
|---|---|---|
| Redmi K80 / K80 Pro | HyperOS 2 | 10-second countdown |
| Redmi K70 / K70 Pro | HyperOS 2 | 10-second countdown |
| Redmi Turbo 4 | HyperOS 2 | 10-second countdown |
| Redmi Note 14 / 14 Pro | HyperOS 1/2 | 5 or 10 seconds |
| Redmi Note 13 | HyperOS 1 | 5-second countdown |
| Redmi A Series | MIUI Go | No countdown, just check |
Special note for the Redmi A series: Entry-level devices like the A1, A2, and A3 run MIUI Go (Android Go edition), featuring a simplified interface and different permission menu locations. The portal for installing unknown apps is under "Settings" → "Additional settings" → "Privacy" → "Unknown sources," which is hidden deeper than in mainstream versions.
Pitfalls When Installing Binance on Redmi
Low-End Devices Crash Halfway Through Installation
On 4GB RAM models like the Redmi 10C, A2, and A3, it often happens that the installation returns to the desktop around 70%. The reason is insufficient system memory, causing the installation process to be killed by the LMK (Low Memory Killer).
Solution:
- Restart your phone (clear background)
- Turn on Airplane Mode (reduce system usage)
- Do not open any other APPs
- Tap the APK to install again
This combination is very effective for low-end devices with tight RAM.
Prompt "App not installed"
Two possibilities:
- You previously installed an old version of Binance, causing a signature conflict: Go to "App management", uninstall the old version, and install again.
- Insufficient storage space: Clear up at least 500 MB of free space.
No Icon on Desktop After Installation
Redmi's HyperOS defaults to the "Standard desktop" (non-drawer). If you switched to the drawer mode, the icon will be in the drawer. Long-press an empty space on the desktop → "Home screen settings" → "Home screen" to switch back to Standard.
Uninstalled by "Security" Right After Installation
Redmi's "Security" app sometimes identifies Binance as an "Unknown source app, potential risk" and automatically uninstalls it. Solution:
- "Security" → "Manage apps"
- Find the "Suspicious apps" list
- Add Binance to the whitelist
Frequently Asked Questions for Redmi Users
Q: Is the Redmi system completely identical to Xiaomi's?
The underlying structure is completely identical, both being HyperOS / MIUI. The differences only lie in the selection of pre-installed apps, theme styles, and whether certain features are open. The APK installation process is completely identical.
Q: Can the Redmi A series install Binance? Is the performance sufficient?
It can be installed, but the experience is average. The A series typically has 2GB/3GB RAM, and the Binance APP frequently lags, with noticeable delays when switching K-line charts. If you just check prices and place orders occasionally, it's sufficient; if you want to trade futures or monitor the market frequently, it is recommended to use a higher-spec device.
Q: Is there a difference between the 5G and 4G versions of the Redmi Note series?
The installation process is completely the same, with no differences. The only advantage of the 5G version is that downloading the APK is faster over mobile data, but under WiFi, there is no difference.
Q: Why are the risk warnings on the Redmi K80 so strict?
HyperOS 2 (the default system for Redmi K80) has elevated the risk warnings by one level. All APKs unverified by the Xiaomi App Store will undergo the process of a 10-second countdown + checking for confirmation. This is a unified policy of the Xiaomi Group, not targeted at Binance.
Q: Can Redmi tablets install Binance?
Yes. The Redmi Pad, Pad Pro, and Pad SE all run the HyperOS Pad version, and the installation process is identical to that of phones. The tablet screen is large, making Binance K-line charts clearer, but the APP has not been specifically optimized for tablets, simply stretching proportionally.
Conclusion
Installing Binance on Redmi follows the same procedure as Xiaomi: Download the APK, handle the two risk warnings, wait for the 10-second countdown, and check "I am aware of the risks." The core difference only lies in mid-to-low-end Redmi devices having smaller memory and being prone to having the installation interrupted by the LMK, so it's recommended to clear the background before installing. The entire process takes about 4 minutes to complete. After installation, don't forget to add Binance to the whitelist in the Security app to prevent it from being misjudged as a suspicious application.
