How to Download and Install Binance APP on Xiaomi / Redmi Phones

Introduction: Installing Binance on Xiaomi — A Few Tricks Required

Xiaomi holds a significant share of the smartphone market, but like other domestic Android brands, the Xiaomi App Store does not carry the Binance APP. What makes things a little more involved is that both MIUI and HyperOS come with built-in installation interception features that will block direct APK installs if not configured first.

No need to worry though. This article covers the complete guide to installing Binance on a Xiaomi phone. I tested it across three different Xiaomi models to make sure the instructions are reliable.

1. Preparation

1.1 Check Your System Version

• Open "Settings" > "My Device" > "Detailed Info and Specs"
• Check the MIUI or HyperOS version number
• Note the underlying Android version number

Binance APP requires Android 6.0 or higher. All current Xiaomi devices on the market comfortably meet this requirement.

1.2 Make Sure You Have Enough Storage

The Binance APP installer is approximately 80–120 MB, and it occupies around 300–500 MB after installation. Make sure you have at least 1 GB of available storage on your device.

2. Downloading the Binance APK

Recommended Method: Download from the Official Website

1. Open Xiaomi's built-in browser (or Chrome)
2. Enter the Binance official website address
3. Navigate to the download page
4. Tap the "Android" download button
5. A download progress bar will appear at the bottom of the browser

During the download, Xiaomi's browser may display a "Security Risk" warning. This is triggered because the system detects that you are downloading an APK file. Simply tap "Continue Download" to proceed.

3. Before Installing: Disable MIUI Security Interception

This step is critical for Xiaomi devices. MIUI and HyperOS have a strict application installation control system — if it is not adjusted, the installation will be blocked.

3.1 Disable Pure Mode

Xiaomi's "Pure Mode" prevents the installation of apps from outside the Xiaomi App Store:

1. Open "Settings" and search for "Pure Mode"
2. Or navigate to "Settings" > "Security" > "Pure Mode"
3. Toggle it off
4. The system will show a security warning — confirm that you want to disable it

3.2 Configure Installation Permissions

1. Go to "Settings" > "Privacy Protection" > "Special App Access"
2. Find "Install Unknown Apps"
3. Select your browser (such as the Xiaomi browser)
4. Enable "Allow from this source"

3.3 Disable App Security Scanning (Optional)

MIUI also has an "Scan apps during installation" feature that checks APK safety online. It can occasionally produce false positives:

1. Go to "Settings" > "Security" > "Security Scan"
2. You can temporarily disable automatic scanning
3. It is recommended to re-enable this after installation is complete

4. Installing the App

Once the preparation steps are done, the actual installation is straightforward:

1. Open the "Files" app
2. Navigate to "Phone Storage" > "Download" folder
3. Find the downloaded Binance APK file
4. Tap the file to start the installation
5. Confirm the installation prompt by tapping "Continue"
6. Wait for the installation to finish (usually 10–20 seconds)
7. Tap "Open" to launch the app

Real-world test: Installation on Xiaomi 14 was smooth from start to finish — less than 30 seconds from tapping install to the app opening.

5. Post-Installation Optimization

MIUI and HyperOS apply aggressive background app management. To ensure the Binance APP runs reliably, the following optimizations are recommended:

5.1 Disable Battery Optimization

1. Go to "Settings" > "Battery & Performance"
2. Find Binance APP
3. Set it to "No Restrictions"

5.2 Lock the App in Recent Tasks

1. Open the recent apps view
2. Find the Binance APP card
3. Long-press or swipe down to lock it (a lock icon will appear)

5.3 Enable Auto-Start

1. Go to "Settings" > "App Management" > "Permissions" > "Auto-start Management"
2. Find Binance APP
3. Enable auto-start permission

5.4 Configure Notifications

1. Go to "Settings" > "Notifications"
2. Find Binance APP
3. Enable all notification permissions
4. Set the notification priority to "Important"

6. Tested Device Results

All tested models installed and ran successfully. High-end models performed exceptionally well, with very fast candlestick chart loading speeds.

7. Frequently Asked Questions

Q: The installation spins endlessly and never finishes — what do I do?

A: The security scan may have stalled. The fix: disconnect from the internet before installing. This bypasses the online security check.

Q: Will the Xiaomi App Store automatically uninstall Binance?

A: No. Pure Mode only blocks the installation of non-App-Store apps — it does not automatically remove apps that are already installed.

Q: Will MIUI ads interfere with the Binance APP?

A: They will not interfere with the Binance APP itself. However, it is a good idea to go to "Settings" > "Privacy Protection" and disable personalized advertising recommendations for a cleaner overall experience.

Q: Can the app update normally after installation?

A: Yes. The app will typically notify you when an update is available. Tapping the update prompt downloads a new APK and reinstalls it — the same process as the initial installation. Make sure Pure Mode remains disabled so future updates can install without issue.

8. Handy Tips

1. Create a home screen folder: Group Binance with other financial tools you use frequently for easy access
2. Enable dark mode: Binance APP supports dark mode — pair it with MIUI's system-wide dark theme for comfortable late-night chart viewing
3. Use floating window mode: MIUI supports floating window (split-screen) mode, so you can monitor prices while chatting or reading news at the same time

Summary

The biggest obstacle to installing Binance on a Xiaomi phone is "Pure Mode." Turn it off, and everything else falls into place. The entire process, including post-installation optimizations, takes around 5 to 10 minutes. Once installed, the experience is identical to any other Android phone — you can use it with full confidence.
