The news comes as Xiaomi reports lower-than-expected revenue results for the last financial quarters. But fanboys had been spreading rumours that we can see a new smartphone launch as well.
Battery optimisation has also improved. While perhaps not as drastic of an update as some users were hoping for, there are a number of useful features to get to grips with.

Huawei Technologies, the company’s largest competitor, is reported to have more than doubled its revenue in China.
