Xiaomi is launching a new Android Nougat for most of their latest devices but that necessarily doesn't mean that the update will bring new features and new look. However, MIUI 9 will be the real update that will bring all the major features and then some more.
According to a leak on Weibo in China, around 36 Xiaomi phones are set to get an update in the coming month. Reviewer, a community blog on Weibo listed the devices; 19 belong to Mi series and 17 handsets from the Redmi series. Here are the Mi devices that will get the update:
Xiaomi Mi 6 Xiaomi Mi 5S Plus Xiaomi Mi 5C Xiaomi Mi 5S Xiaomi Mi 5 Xiaomi Mi 4S Xiaomi Mi 4 Xiaomi Mi 4C Xiaomi Mi 3 Xiaomi Mi 2 Xiaomi Mi 2SXiaomi Mi Mix Xiaomi Mi Max 2 Xiaomi Mi Max Xiaomi Mi Note 2 Xiaomi Mi Pad 2 Xiaomi Mi Pad Xiaomi Mi Note.Reportedly, the company will roll out the update to its flagship device, Mi6 first; even the Mi 5X will launch with MIUI 8 but will be updated later. In the mid range segment, these Redmi devices will receive the update:Redmi Pro Redmi Note 4XRedmi Note 4Xiaomi Redmi Note 2Xiaomi Redmi Note (first generation)Redmi 4XRedmi 4ARedmi 4Redmi 3SRedmi 3S PlusRedmi 3XRedmi 3Redmi 2ARedmi 2Redmi 1SRedmi (1st Gen).
There is no official confirmation regarding the new update and in case of the Indian market it's highly doubtful that the company will release all the update to any device that was launched before 2016.
The new update will introduce new features like multiple window capability, a new bundled notification feature that can help in de-cluttering the notification panel and more small features throughout the OS. Other than that, the update will enhance the security of the device.
Indian Xiaomi users will have to wait longer than their Chinese counterparts as the update is expected to reach users only by the end of this year. The Chinese company has been facing tough criticism from its competition in the budget segment for massive delays in pushing out updates. Manufacturers like Motorola are able to push out quick updates in comparison to Xiaomi as they don't deviate much from stock Android.
