Xiaomi MIUI 7 rollout begins on October 27, is your phone eligible?

Xiaomi will begin rolling out MIUI 7 globally to eligible phones on October 27, roughly two months after a beta ROM version of the software was released to users. The upgrade is set to be delivered OTA via the Update app. But there’s one more way to get the upgrade, as is the case most of the time.

Eager folks can also choose to download the Xiaomi MIUI 7 ROM manually via the company’s official site. The OS is based on Android 5.1 Lollipop and is compatible with the Redmi Note, Redmi Note 4G, Mi 3, Mi 4, Mi 4i, Redmi 1S and Redmi 2. The upgrade comes with a number of new features including a 30% improved response speed over the previous OS and a 10% increase in battery life.

Xiaomi has provided a number of special offerings for its Indian user base such as a range of HD wallpapers and support for Marathi, Assamese, Gujarati and Punjabi. It’s also added an Interactive Visual Response (IVR) tool, which does away with the automated voice people have to endure when calling a business by displaying the prompts in the form of text.

The service currently lists over 50 customer care numbers in its database. MIUI 7 also comes with a Quick OTP copy utility and a smart SMS filter. The latter shifts all non-personal messages into a separate tab. Xiaomi has further partnered with Opera Max to launch a Data Saver tool, which supposedly saves 50% of data by compressing browser and app usage.

Furthermore, a Showtime function lets people exchange contact cards with friends so a video or picture chosen by the user pops up when calling them. MIUI 7 additionally syncs better with the Mi Band now, automatically switching a person’s phone to a Do Not Disturb (DND) mode when they detect the user is asleep.

Once again, the Xiaomi MIUI 7 OS will be live on October 27. You can manually download it now through the brand’s download page.
