It plans to launch a new smartphone dubbed the Mi 5X on July 26, and reports claim that the Mi 5X will launch with MIUI 8, and will get MIUI 9 as an OTA upgrade. While Xiaomi seems to be updating its older smartphones in China, the handsets getting the update in India will reportedly only include the recently launched smartphones. Xiaomi's MIUI 9 is expected to bring new features like support for multi-window mode, night mode, and bundled notifications among other improvements.
