Xiaomi listens to you, and there’s no better demonstration of this than MIUI, which is a living operating system that incorporates our fans’ feedback.

In China, MIUI is especially reflective of our fans’ feedback. We accomplish this through two separate builds: the beta build and stable build.

1. The beta build is updated every 1-2 weeks, and may have some unresolved bugs because it is a work-in-progress that constantly updates. People who download the beta build should understand that there may be some issues.

2. The stable build is pushed every 4-6 weeks, and contains new features that have been thoroughly tested. People who download the stable build can be assured that it has been well tested.

Now we are bringing this same approach to our global markets. The MIUI team is very excited to announce that we’ve released the MIUI 6 global beta build for the Redmi 1S, and will provide regular updates roughly every 2 weeks, in tandem with the feedback we gather from Mi Fans in the forums.

For Redmi 1S users who have been eagerly awaiting MIUI 6, this is also your time to try it out in beta, while helping us to make it even better for everyone else.

Here are the links to download the Redmi 1S global beta build:

2. Phone battery occasionally drops quickly after rebooting

We look forward to hearing your feedback once you’ve tried it. Thank you all for your support!
