This approach is different from the route companies like OnePlus, Essential and even Samsung are talking while beta testing their Oreo-based updates. However, it is likely that Xiaomi may open the Beta testing program once it irons most of the kinks out of the preliminary build to provide a more stable version. Xiaomi has not announced any details about the rollout of the final Oreo-based update. According to a report by GSMArena, it is likely that Mi Mix 2 users will have to wait for a few months before they can install the final version of the update. Interested Mi Mix 2 users can visit the forum post to find the instructions on how to enroll themselves in the closed beta program. This comes months after the company launched Android 7.1 Nougat-based MIUI 9 for Xiaomi devices.
