Xiaomi announced the lightning fast MIUI 9 Global back in November 2017 with many fresh changes including Split Screen, Interactive and Fresh UI changes, New Gallery App, Calendar Cards, App Vault, New Notification Shade, Mi Video App, New Mi Explorer and Mi Drop. Xiaomi rolled out these features to MIUI Global Beta ROM users in past two-three months but most of these features are still not available for Stable ROM users.
Xiaomi has rolled out MIUI 9 (Global Stable) for first two batches announced during MIUI 9 launch but the third batch of devices are yet to get MIUI 9 Global Stable ROM update which includes Redmi 4A, Redmi Note 3, Redmi 3S/Prime, Mi4i and older devices.
Now, Xiaomi has started rolling out MIUI 9.2 to devices which had already received MIUI 9 Global Stable ROM, and as per the changelogs and reports by users, App Vault, New Gallery editor and Mi Video app are included with this update. Xiaomi has also mentioned that KRACK WPA2 security vulnerabilities have been fixed with this update. As per users, Dual Notifications bug for Whatsapp and Telegram applications has been fixed.
The MIUI 9.2 Stable update is already available for Mi Mix 2, Redmi Note 4, Redmi 4, Redmi Y1, Redmi Y1 Lite, and Redmi 5A but Xiaomi has not officially announced any timeline for update for rest of the devices. You can check out our posts on Mi Video App and App Vault to know about these features.
