Xiaomi has announced MIUI 9 beta programme for its Mi Mix 2. The roll out of the new operating system (beta version) based on Android Oreo comes a few days after the Google-powered Mi A1 received it.

According to the announcement made on Miui website (in Chinese), it is a closed beta, which means only limited users of the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 can take part in the MIUI 9 beta programme. Those interested in participating in the test have to download the MIUI Forum App before choosing "experience version" and "millet MIX 2" while registering.
