[NEWS]Official Android Nougat update coming to Mi 4C

[chickentuna]

Heads up guys. Official MIUI based on Android 7 will be coming to our device. Just like the MI3(and MI4?), Xiaomi decided to skip an Android version which totally makes sense for obvious reasons.

From the official Xiaomi English forum:

A very good news for all Android version lovers and geeks ! The Product Manager of MIUI, Ranger has just*revealed on his weibosaying that Mi 4c to be upgraded to Android Nougat very soon ! Let me translate the whole Chinese sentence to all of you.

Mi 4c, Mi 4s, Mi Note Pro and Mi Max will be upgraded to Android N soon. Please download MIUI Forum app to obtain the latest information and updates.

Big question is when. Anyhow, not really excited as the MIUI skin makes Android OS barely noticeable.

as long as kernel driver is shared to dev, then good news. otherwise, i won't even touch MIUI again.

Thank you for the great news, but for what I know from Xiaomi, I'll belive when I see it.

I think miui is Rubbish,so i Like RR or CM or MK(AOSP,AOKP)at all

I'm looking forward to it. I have no problem with MIUI as it is fast and delivers the best camera results. I believe Nougat will have much better battery life than Lollipop. Also, Mi5 nougat users noted that mpdecision was enabled. Hope it's the same for 4c!

I'm pretty sure that won't happen because they released a version of the source and further updates are not required by the Linux licence from what I know.

Miui is on the don't touch list for me ... (Yuk!)

At least we'll have proper/updated vendor blobs & baseband to use on our custom roms.

Hmm... Just wait for it... Probably its coming when Android M announced..haha (random guess).

For now they (xiaomi) support latest OS on latest device too...
All we can do just hoping for old device to get Latest OS..

Great news! But I'm not sure if that will make a difference to MIUI 8. If it's MIUI 9 on Nougat then I'll probably try it.

I hope they will release kernel, so devs could make custom Nugat roms, that have good driver and kernel base.
Then I will order one more MI4C with 2GB of ram for 100$

Good news. But i hope improvement camera too. Because imx258 in mi4c is not powerfull. ?

 

[alexvv]

i couldn't believe it actually, i had to double check when i saw it on gsmarena. that's excellent news ! i wouldn't expect this kind of support. i only hoped for some marshmallow back in the summer and that's all. however, i believe the update should at least improve the atrocious standby power draw and the camera's low light abilities, even the cheap p9 lite with a dated im214 does better in low light. i would also love some long exposure options.

Yesterday there was no weekly update for mi4c is published, so they are working on Android N for mi4c for sure...

Thanks. Yup, official word: "1) Update for Mi Note Pro, Mi 4c, Mi 4S suspended because we’re working on MIUI based on Android 7.0."

Thing is, MIUI is rubbish. UTTER rubbish especially after they introduced MI-Cloud (iCloud spoof) feature to their phones.... Im never going back because my phone appears to be MI-Cloud locked while I have no idea who and what has possibly the resetting feature for this. I cant even upgrade to MIUI 8 due to this crap lockout feature.

Stay on topic bro. Flash xiaomi.eu or mi-globe.com and your problem is solved.

I had no problem with smiui and mi-globe too. I think mi-globe based on nougat will be awesome generally because lollipop is such a bad Android version compared to MM and N
