Xiaomi announces Android Oreo closed beta program for Mi MIX 2

Xiaomi has announced Android Oreo closed beta program for the Mi MIX 2, under which users will be able to test Android Oreo ROM before the official release. The Android Oreo beta will be tested on MIUI 9 China ROM, but it is applicable to all regions.

Since this is a closed beta only a limited number of users will get the chance to test it. To be eligible for the beta program, your MI MIX 2 should run MIUI China Aplha ROM, and you must be active on the MIUI forum. If you have got both boxes ticked, than you can check the procedure on  how to apply for the program here (Link). The last date to join the program is December 24, and eligible members will be selected by December 27.

As mentioned earlier, Oreo for Mi MIX 2 will be tested on MIUI China ROM, but it is likely to come to MIUI Global ROM as well in the coming weeks. As a reminder the Xiaomi Mi MIX 2 was launched running Android Nougat based MIUI 8, and received MIUI 9 Stable Global ROM last month.

Recently Xiaomi started testing Android Oreo on the Android One backed Mi A1. The beta version was rolled out for eligible members who joined the beta program. The official Oreo roll out for Mi A1 is likely to take place by the end of this month, or early January. 

We can expect Xiaomi to open Oreo beta program for other popular devices such as Mi Max 2, Redmi Note 4 and and other devices in near future.
