Some devices are not on the list such as the original Redmi Note 4 and it is interesting to see that the Mi Note makes it to the list. If your device is not on the list, don’t lose hope yet. You may at least get MIUI 9 and have access to some features from Android 7.0.
All future Xiaomi devices are expected to come with Android 7.0 out of the box until Google releases Android 8.0.
