When we talk about Xiaomi we all know its policy of updates, which is based on launching small updates every short time to solve small bugs or errors. But when we talk about Android version jumps, things change and it is not so usual to see this type updates. Despite this, Xiaomi has just released a beta version of Android 7 Nougat for the Xiaomi Mi 5 .

We already knew the existence of this beta version of the Global ROM, but to date its use was limited to a closed circle of users. Finally it has been released so that all users can install it, although we should not forget that it is a beta version that may have failures .

Xiaomi updates to Android 7 Nougat the Xiaomi Mi 5.

The steps to update if we already had a development version installed on our device are easy, as an OTA update will automatically appear. The style of the interface will remain that of MIUI 8, but in reality the operating system will be Android 7 Nougat.

In case we need to install the developer version, there is a general guide in the official Xiaomi forum but it works only if we have the Chinese ROM installed. In case of wanting to install the Global ROM of the developer, it is necessary to resort to other unofficial tutorials that exist on the network.

Another device that takes more time on the market, the Redmi Note 3, will receive the update to Android 6 Marshmallow. Although it does not update to the latest version of Android, at least it will have the security patches up to date .

We also know that many other Xiaomi devices will receive the Android 7 Nougat operating system gradually , including those that have had a recent release such as the Xiaomi Mi 5s, Xiaomi Mi Note 2 and Xiaomi Mi MIX.
