MIUI 9 Global Stable (Android Oreo) available for Xiaomi Mi 5, Mi Note 2, and Mi Mix


MIUI 10 may be the latest version of Xiaomi’s custom UI, but that doesn’t mean that MIUI 9 has become obsolete. In fact, it will take months for Xiaomi to release Global Stable and China Stable ROMs for its devices. The company has already specified the roll-out schedule for MIUI 10 Global Beta, as well as MIUI 10 China Alpha. An important thing to note, however, is that a MIUI 10 update is separate from an Android Oreo update, as MIUI 10 ROMs can be based on older versions of Android.
With regard to Android Oreo updates, Xiaomi has been slow so far. The company has rolled-out Android Oreo updates to its flagship 2017 smartphones, the Xiomi Mi 6 and the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2. The Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro in India recently recieved its MIUI 9.5-based Android 8.1 Oreo update. On the other hand, popular devices such as the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4, Xiaomi Note 5, Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus, and others are still stuck on Android Nougat. Some older Xiaomi devices such as the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 are even stuck at Android Marshmallow, even though they have received MIUI 9 updates.
Previously, reports indicated that Xiaomi was testing Android Oreo updates for the Xiaomi Mi 5 and the Xiaomi Mi Mix, two of the company’s 2016 flagships. The company then released Android Oreo-based Global Beta ROMs for the two devices.

After a gap of a few months, Xiaomi has now released Android 8.0 Oreo-based MIUI 9.6 Global Stable ROMs for the Xiaomi Mi 5, Xiaomi Mi Note 2, and the Xiaomi Mi Mix. The download links are noted below:

Vivo NEX Ruby Red variant adds more beauty to the sleek bezel-less flagship

Image
Vivo NEX has been an important model right from when it was announced, due to the innovative features it packs. The device comes with an innovative pop-up camera, in-display fingerprint sensor, a near bezel-less display and other leading features. Lately, Vivo added a Ruby Red variant to the colour options on offer. The Vivo NEX  Ruby Red version is here captured in these pictures showcasing its exotic design. The red colour variant is indeed looking like a precious ruby, radiating like a jewel. The body which is made of glass is coated using the microcrystalline technology. This is achieved by combining glass crystals on the surface of the panel so that light and shadow can change with the change of viewing angle. This creates a radiant visual effect which makes the device look like a piece of art. The rear-mounted fingerprint sensor is also coated in a layer of Ruby Red in the same colour as the body but the single coating makes it look a little lighter than the...
