“MIUI 8 public beta kicks off July 11, stable build hitting August 16.
At the Mi Max launch event in New Delhi, Xiaomi announced that the public beta of MIUI 8 will commence on July 11, with the stable build becoming available starting August 16.”
Upgrading my Mi Max from MIUI 7 to the alpha China build of MIUI 8 was a huge improvement. To have a global version with Google Play Services incorporated will be a massive plus.
