Almost a year after the release of MIUI 8, our Xiaomi ROMs are still at MIUI 8.2 or MIUI 8.3. It seemed that they did not want to reveal even more news regarding the development of the newest MIUI 9 of which we are talking since the last months of last year, but instead ... on the well-known social Weibo, some fans very close to Xiaomi team testers have revealed that around the end of May will begin the Beta Testing program of the new MIUI!
The MIUI 9 enters the hot phase. But how much longer will we have to wait?
Although it is a good thing to talk about the new MIUI, it would seem - we are awaiting official confirmation on the timing - that the new OS of Xiaomi will take at most a year before actually being distributed. Definitely not an exciting news, but on the other hand we must be content with the words of Lei Jun, CEO of Xiaomi, revealing the company's focus on the stability and optimization of its devices.
It therefore seems that the MIUI 9, unlike previous updates, it will take a few more months before being put on the world, and that the justification is based on the timing needed for optimization. In fact, as you have noticed, the release of nougat alongside the MIUI 8 did not bring the hoped benefits to our Xiaomi and many users have experienced significant performance cuts, however, which Xiaomi is releasing in release.
So let's see the positive side of this "delay" in the distribution of the first MIUI 9 and think - let's hope, more than anything else - that the software development team does a great job in order to have a new OS on our Xiaomi device ready and snappy right away!
All we have to do is wait, but let us know XiaomiToday we will try to keep you informed about the developments of the new MIUI 9!
