Xiaomi has announced through its MIUI Forum that the company has adjusted the internet testing upgrade strategy for some models of the Redmi series. It revealed that Xiaomi will now stop the developer ROM update for the Redmi models that were launched before 2016.
This means that the users of those smartphones who are on the developer ROM will have to shift to the Stable ROM. The major difference in terms of update frequency for both the ROMs is that the developer version updates every week and the stable version receives an update every two months.
Since it’s been more than two years for devices launched before 2016, the company doesn’t want to spend much of its resources on providing frequent updates for those smartphones, which aren’t in demand and some of them have already been discontinued.
The smartphone models that have been affected include Redmi 3S/3X, Redmi Note 3 Special Edition, Redmi Note Pro, Redmi 4 series, Redmi Note 4, and Redmi 4A. Only these models are affected by the change in update frequency.
In its official announcement, the company said that it recommends the users on the developer ROM to switch to the Stable ROM in order to ensure the stability and usability of the affected smartphones.

Meanwhile, the China-based company has already started working on the next major release for its custom user interface — MIUI 11. As per the reports, the MIUI 11 will come with a revamped design, new icon sets, advanced low-power mode, and the company will also take care of the advertising-related issues in MIUI. While the ads won’t be gone completely, but the company says that it will be more tolerant.
