Earlier this morning Google officially
launched Android 4.3 for modern Nexus devices, but
Xiaomi Mi2 owners can live in hope that they will also get an early
update too!
Currently
MIUI V5 is based on Android 4.1.1
Jelly Bean, however Xiaomi have done an excellent job of including most of the Android 4.2 features in the
MIUI ROM. In fact this is likely to go on until the release of
Android 5.0 as Xiaomi have no intentions of upgrading
MIUI until then.
But just because Xiaomi aren’t making an
Android 4.3 based
update for their
phones does’t mean it isn’t coming!
Android
ROM developer @Akiba has already managed to take the
Android 4.3 ROM intended for the
Nexus 4 and
port it over to the
Xiaomi Mi2 which can be seen in the above screenshot. We are currently looking for a
download link for this
ROM to
test.
