Xiaomi to bring Nougat and O features to MIUI9

Just last February, Xiaomi rolled out MIUI 8.2. While it was a very major update, it disappointed some fans for not bringing Android Nougat to their phones. Granted, back then few phones had been updated to Nougat already but, in a span of two months, that roster has steadily increased. That is exactly why there is much fuss around the leak that MIUI 9, the next version of Xiaomi’s custome experience, will be getting some features that many smartphones are already enjoying now.

Thanks to an accidentally leaked email, Xiaomi users look forward to features like "Split Screen" and the much awaited "Doze Mode" in MIUI9. It is said that Xiaomi is looking into making those features available for its Android 6.0 Marshmallow devices, implying that MIUI 9 could still be based on the older Android version.

Or Xiaomi could simply be making that feature backwards compatible to older phones. That, however, does imply that it will be a custom implementation and not Google’s canonical API. MIUI 9 is also said to feature a screen recording feature. Curiously, the API for that was introduced way back in Android 5.0 Lollipop.

Recently a screenshot of MIUI 9 version 9.6.9.23 was popped up on a Chinese website Weibo. That does not state any features but the vision of MIUI 9. In addition to this MIUI9 screenshot, there was another update was seen on MIUI forums in which list of MIUI 9 eligible devices was there that will receive the update.
