There has been so much rigmarole and expectation with respect to the upcoming Xiaomi MIUI 9 OS. Although, we know that this operating system will be released soon, the actual date of its release is still vague. The majority of the rumors suggest that it will be released at the end of this month and many fans are already beginning to anticipate the experience it will provide.
However, we have sad news. Upon release, Xiaomi fans without its flagship Xiaomi Mi 6 will miss its first time experience. Xiaomi engineers have been working tirelessly of over a month so that the MIUI 9 can be available to everyone but for the early weeks of its release, MIUI 9 will be available to only Xiaomi Mi 6 users and subsequently, it will spread to other models.
Today, some images of Xiaomi Mi 6 with functional MIUI 9 surfaced online. This implies that Xiaomi has already set up a pioneer test group to test this model. Surprisingly, the images show that the group was setup in February 2015 and the MIUI 9 development clearly has not started at that time thus there are still some puzzles to be unraveled with respect to this OS release and functionality.
MIUI 9 release is long over due and it has obviously broken the OS release trend of Xiaomi. Right from MIUI 6, the iteration time interval for each version was no more than one year and presently, a year has passed and we are still speculating. MIUI 8 was released on the 10th of May thus this expected OS is over 7 weeks overdue.
