If you are wondering when your Xiaomi smartphone will be updated to the latest Android 6.0 Marshmallow, turns out you won't have to wait long. A Xiaomi official has taken to Weibo to reveal that the Mi 4 and the Mi Note will be among the first smartphones to get the update.
The official, a MIUI operations manager, however says that the Marshmallow update will be based on MIUI 7, and Xiaomi won't be releasing a new iteration of the UI, GizmoChina reports. He says that a closed beta for the Marshmallow-based MIUI 7 will soon be launched for the two aforementioned smartphones. The update could be released as early as next week.
The Mi 4 maybe more than a year and half old, which in the current industry reads ancient, but Xiaomi seems to be working on keeping the smartphone relevant. Besides the forthcoming Marshmallow update, Xiaomi also released the Windows 10 Mobile-based ROM for the smartphone earlier this week.

Xiaomi seems quite bullish about the Mi 5, and CEO Lei Jun recently went on record to say that the smartphone is 'worth the wait'.
