Kernel sources for the Xiaomi Redmi 6 Pro, Redmi 5 Plus, and Mi 5X are now available
Xiaomi has released kernel sources for the Xiaomi Redmi 6 Pro, Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus and the Xiaomi Mi 5X. Read on to know more!
Xiaomi has been on a spree to release and update kernel sources of as many devices as it can. In just about 10 days, the OEM has spread the kernel love to some old and long overdue devices such as the Xiaomi Redmi Note 2, Redmi Note 2 Pro and the Redmi Note 3 (MediaTek); as well as to newer devices like the Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro.
MIUI 10 China Alpha 8.7.2 now available for 11 Xiaomi devices
MIUI 10 China Alpha is now available for 11 Xiaomi devices, including the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X, Xiaomi Redmi 4X, Xiaomi Mi 6, Xiaomi Mi Max 2, and more.
MIUI is available in two forms: MIUI China Stable and MIUI Global Stable. The two ROMs have important differences in functionality, as Global ROMs are intended for a global audience. MIUI Global ROMs have Google Play services integration, while MIUI China ROMs don't come with Google Play services are integrated with Xiaomi's online services. Languages and region-specific functionality are different as well. It's important to keep the above the mind when dealing with MIUI 10. MIUI 10 China was announced by Xiaomi alongside the Xiaomi Mi 8, Xiaomi Mi 8 Explorer Edition, and the Xiaomi Mi 8 SE at an event in China in May. MIUI 10 Global, on the other hand, was announced at the Xiaomi Redmi Y2 event in India last month.
MIUI 9 was announced back in July 2017. The global version of MIUI 9 was launched in November, and since then, Xiaomi has slowly updated most of its smartphones with MIUI 9. MIUI 9 brought performance improvements, while the incremental MIUI 9.5 update also brought notification handling behavior in MIUI in line with stock Android. At an event in China, Xiaomi announced MIUI 10, the successor of MIUI 9, alongside the launch of the Mi 8, Mi 8 Explorer Edition, and the Mi 8 SE.
Xiaomi Mi A1 XDA Review: Android One and Xiaomi Hardware Result in a Delightful & Affordable Stock Experience
Follow along as we take an in-depth look into all the aspects of the Xiaomi Mi A1, the first Android One device from Xiaomi, that ships without MIUI!
The Xiaomi Mi A1 is one of Xiaomi’s biggest releases of the year 2017. Despite its overall humbling package, the phone marks a few important milestones for the Chinese company as well as for the Android ecosystem.
Xiaomi Mi 5X Receives Unofficial Android One Port, Based on Mi A1 Firmware
The Xiaomi Mi 5X, one of the latest offerings from Xiaomi, has just received a port of the Xiaomi Mi A1 firmware (based on stock Android 7.1.2!)
The Xiaomi Mi A1, announced last week, made headlines for being the first Xiaomi phone running stock Android. After all, it's the first phone from the company to form part of the Android One program. And with the device packing a Snapdragon 625, 4 GB of RAM, 64 GB of storage, dual cameras and bone-stock Android 7.1.2 with all Google services on board (and an Oreo update on the way), it's arguably one of the most compelling options currently available from Xiaomi. However, for all intents and purposes, it's pretty much a rebranded Xiaomi Mi 5X -- a device which was launched back in July running the Android Nougat-based MIUI 8 skin.
