When Xiaomi announced the Mi Box in 2016, I was pretty excited. So excited that I got one for myself. However, it has not been a smooth experience all the while especially with respect to updates.
The device which launched with Android 6.0 Marshmallow got an Android Nougat beta update but a stable update was never rolled out. Instead, it received an update to Android Oreo. It has now been reported that a beta version of Android 9.0 is now available for the device, and that is exciting news for owners of this 4K streaming box.
The info comes from a Redditor who has shared a screenshot (above) of the update for the Mi Box. The 620MB update is said to bring support for the Mi Remote app but doesn’t say more.
Android TV 9.0 was made available for the Mi Box S back in January. While this is just a beta version, it means a stable update is on the way if there is no repeat of what happened with the Android Nougat update.
