[Download] Official MIUI 9 ROM For Xiaomi Mi 6 Now Available

Xiaomi has just released Alpha and Beta builds for Xiaomi Mi 6 bearing the latest MIUI 9 update. Although the Mi 6 was already on Android 7.1.1 Nougat, the latest update brings various design and thematic changes to the device flaunting a minimalistic approach to the previous MIUI 8 skin.

With Xiaomi already announcing their update roadmap for the month of August and September, including almost every device they manufactured dating back to late 2013, it would do other manufacturers some good to learn from the Chinese giant.

The updates, which are being provided in the form of Alpha and Beta builds, are targeted at users who are willing to test out the latest firmware for their devices. While the Alpha build will get more frequent updates, they will tend to be unstable in nature, whereas the Beta builds will be updated less frequently and may not include all features from Alpha builds but will be relatively stable.
