Xiaomi, which announced its Android Lollipop based MIUI 7 earlier this year is finally rolling it out later this month. The company has announced through MIUI’s official twitter page that they will start rolling out the new UI from October 27th. All Mi devices which have been sold thus far in India, are eligible for the update and will start getting the update from next week. This includes — Mi3, Redmi 1, Redmi 1s, Redmi Note, Redmi 2, Mi 4i, Mi4 and the Mi Pad.
The new ROM has been available for beta testing purposes with select users since August. “We are really excited to announce MIUI 7 global stable build for MIUI fans all around the world. With two months of testing and optimization, MIUI 7 global stable version is to roll out from Oct. 27, 2015. Yours by design! Get ready for upgrade!,” said the MIUI blog post. The new UI will not just bring a visual refresh but performance and functionality tweaks as well.
MIUI 7 will have new features like Muse which is a theme designer within the theme manager, much like the one Cyanogen and HTC have implemented in their respective UIs. The gallery app will support face recognition and will automatically recognise faces and will let users create search filters. Daily lockscreen is another feature which will be making its way to Xiaomi phones. Once installed, this feature will change wallpapers automatically on your lock screen on a daily basis.
