With the official release date for the MIUI 9 drawing near, Xiaomi has now invited its users for beta testing of its latest User Interface to get a chance at trying out the latest the company has to offer.
The only caveat being that this is in consideration to the MIUI 9 China ROM and not the Global ROM which means that users must be prepared to encounter bloatware and a few additional ‘features’ on the firmware.
The MIUI 9 offers performance and battery enhancements along with a relatively cleaner UI as compared to its predecessor, the MIUI 8.
The MIUI 9 will also include native Android 7.0 Nougat features like split-screen and Multi Window mode with an enhanced Doze integration. Reports have also suggested the inclusion of Picture-In-Picture (PIP) module in the firmware.
