MIUI 7 BETA version now available .

Xiaomi has made available the beta version of MIUI 7, the next-generation version of its Android-based operating system, on its website.

The beta version of the OS is available for all Xiaomi devices available in India including Mi 3, Redmi 2, Redmi 1S, Redmi Note 3G and 4G, Mi 4 and Mi 4i.

If you wish to try the OS you can go to the MIUI 7 forum thread and download and flash the OS on your Xiaomi phone. Remember that you will be using the beta build and not the stable one so there could be some issues and bugs.

If you've never used a beta ROM on your Xiaomi phone, you'll need the MIUI ROM Flashing tool or Mi PC Suite and a Windows PC to flash it. Xiaomi will update the beta build of the OS every two weeks. Users on the beta version of MIUI can check the Updater app for the new beta build.

According to Xiaomi, the company has refined MIUI over the past year to create MIUI 7, which has a colourful interface with better performance, battery-saving optimizations and an even wider variety of personalisation options.Devices running MIUI 7 can see up to 30% faster response time when launching system apps, and 10% better battery life in daily usage compared to MIUI 6.
The new software includes several new features designed for India including support for 10 Indian languages. Visual IVR, a feature introduced in beta with MIUI 6 that shows the voice menu on the phone's screen for customer support calls now supports 50 companies' IVR menus.

The software also comes with a smart SMS filter that filters service messages into a separate notification tab. The quick OTP feature detects OTPs in a message and lets users easily copy an OTP code at the very moment when the notification pops up.

The phone features four integrated system themes - Rose, Pink Blush, Ocean Breeze, and High Life.
