Xiaomi Mi 6 and MIX 2 receive new MIUI 9 based on Android Oreo

Android Oreo 8.0 is the latest version of Google's mobile platform. It was made available to all brands and programmers on August 21, 2017. From then on, any interested party could start developing new ROMs based on this release. Now for some Xiaomi, comes a new version of tests of MIUI 9. It is already based on this Android Oreo.

In turn, Chinese manufacturer Xiaomi uses its own ROM, MIUI. This, in its 9th version, has already reached most of the devices elected. It is also based on Android Nougat 7.0 and later will be updated with the functions of Oreo, based on this one. Until then, some branded devices are already testing beta versions.

It was without much warning or celebration that the Chinese brand started the Android Oreo testing program. It did so for its top of the range Xiaomi Mi 6 and for the Xiaomi Mi MIX 2. At this point, both devices receive the new Global Beta version of MIUI 9. It is version  8.1.18 and will bring some news to both devices. Not to mention typical bug fixes and various optimizations.
