Just like Google, Xiaomi has also started rolling out the global stable ROM of the MIUI 8 mobile operating system. Unlike Android 7.0 Nougat, the MIUI 8 is rolling out to more smartphones, including the Redmi 1S, Mi 2/2S, Mi 4i, Redmi Note 3G and Redmi Note 4G.
If you own these smartphones, you can wait for the OTA update that is rolling out gradually, or download it from the MIUI forum thread and flash the ROM manually. Other devices will get it in the near future.
