Earlier this month, Xiaomi announced that it would end MIUI Global beta program by July. As we step into the month of July, steps are already in place to still push Global ROM to MIUI users but this time, it will be Stable ROM directly. However, the company has announced that it is recruiting closed beta testers of the MIUI Global stable ROM for some specific models. The models include the flagship Pocophone F1 and Mi 6 as well as the Redmi 6 and Redmi 6A.

Xiaomi may have decided to thread this path due to the fact that too many users were consciously or through actions of third-party resellers using beta builds on a daily basis. Thus, only the MIUI Stable ROM will be available to the generality of MIUI users. However, to ensure that only a more fluent and bug-free ROM is available to users, the company has decided to subject the Stable ROM to scrutiny by a mass of committed beta testers to iron-out issues. Hence, this closed beta recruitment. In fact, there are even more rules to follow in this closed beta circle than the public one, since you are actually expected to contribute with feedback.
Interested MIUI users can apply via the source link regardless of your region. he recruitment will close on July 7. Some of the rules and requirements include a good command of English, an unlocked bootloader, the latest version of MIUI Stable on the phone and familiarity with the QQ messenger.
