Miui 7 1 To Start Rolling Out From January 5 For Mi 4 Mi Note Mi 4I And Other Xiaomi Devices

Xiaomi today announced that it will start rolling out the MIUI 7.1 update for some of its Mi devices from January 5. The MIUI team did not announce what changes MIUI 7.1 will pack, but it is quite clear that the skin will still be based on Android 4.4 Devices that will start getting the MIUI 7.1 update from tomorrow are as follows:

Mi 3 Mi 4 Mi Note Mi 4i Redmi Note 4G Redmi 2 Prime Redmi 1S Redmi Note Prime Redmi Note 2 Redmi Note 3G Mi Pad

The MIUI team will be posting the full changelog of the update tomorrow when it releases the update, which is when changes that the update incorporates will become clear. Xiaomi has been heavily criticised for still basing MIUI off KitKat — a version of Android that is more than 2 years old at this point. The company is internally testing new builds of MIUI for the Mi 4 and few of its other devices that is based on Android 6.0 Marshmallow, but at this point it is unclear when the update will be ready and rolled out to Mi device users.
