As every Friday there is news about updates for the MIUI and today, after a week full of news about the major bugs found on ROMs My 6, it touches a major announcement for a set of Xiaomi devices, all presented at the end of 2016. We are talking about the arrival of Android Nugget 7.0 su We MIX, My Notes 2, I 5S e We 5S Plus!
But let's see in detail how the update will be developed and, above all, the release timings.
When will Android Nougat arrive on these smartphones?
Let's get the news of the timings right away.
The Nougat Development Program for these Xiaomi 4 smartphones will begin the 15 May and will employ about 3 weeks before seeing tangible results. Acceptable results?
We come to that. Many Xiaomi users, especially the owners of Mi 5, complained of a drastic drop in performance with Nougat's advent, and only with the latest updates, at least for China developers and xiaomi.eu, they again reached acceptable levels of performance and autonomy.
If I can give one personal opinion, after a long conversation with other Xiaomi fans, we noticed that the optimization times for the new OS Xiaomi use about 4 months. Think for example of the Mi 5: presented at the end of February 2016, it had to wait until May 30 to have the "definitive" ROM, the best optimized one. Obviously we are talking about MIUI 7 - ... grant me a shred of nostalgia! - and of ROM China developer and xiaomi.eu weekly. The Global instead had to wait a little longer, also considering that at the end of May the efforts of the Xiaomi developers focused on the development of MIUI 8. By heart, 2 or 3 weeks should have been in which the Global beta was not released which, however, it was soon completed and finally optimized.
So we arrive in June and the first release of MIUI 8 on the China branch which was then optimized, along with the Unofficial xiaomi.eu, around September. Meanwhile, however, the Global branch first saw the move to a MIUI hybrid, the MIUI 7.5 halfway between 7 and 8, and then optimized around October.
We conclude this small historical excursus, which we will probably dwell on again in facebook video direct XiaomiToday.it, with the arrival of Nougat on board the first Xiaomi.
Mi 5, and its owners can confirm it, saw a drastic drop in performance due to the MIUI - Android 7.0, around December, the month of release of the latest Google operating system. Perhaps the release of Nougat was rush, but the result was tragic, or tragicomic, to be less catastrophic. A slight improvement in performance, also because Nougat's true features have never been seen on the Xiaomi, has been achieved with the upgrades of the month of May: nothing to do with Marshmallows, but having to make a comparison with the Android 7.0 primaries on MIUI, May results are really gold!
I do not care yet, but as you've come to realize, since February 2016 we waited for May for the first true optimizations, then end of September with regard to the MIUI 8. Separate speech for Nougat who, released in December 2016, had to deal with Chinese holidays in February, so we are perfectly timed for this "bet" that is around the 4 months to get a certain reliability from the ROMs MIUI.
I just have to remember the appointment this afternoon, 18.30 hours, With the direct Facebook of XiaomiToday.it to discuss your doubts regarding the Xiaomi world!
