Apart from the above two devices, a new Weibo leak suggests that the next batch of Xiaomi smartphones receive the MIUI 9 update include flagships like the Mi 5, Mi Mix, as well as the Mi Note 2. A previous leak had mentioned Xiaomi Mi 5s, Mi 5s Plus, Redmi 4, Mi Max 2, and Mi 4 to be a part of the second batch, however, the latest report does not mention any of these devices.

To sweeten the whole deal, Xiaomi has teased some of the features that the MIUI 9 update will bring to your phone. Starting off with the themes, the MIUI 9 will have three new themes in addition to the default one named No Boundary, Cool Black, and Color Fantasy. The one significant change you may notice in these themes is the lack of text below the app icons in the dock, giving them a neat look.

The MIUI 9 will also bring with it an improved lock screen feature with shortcuts that can be accessed by simply swiping on the screen. These revamped lock screen shortcuts include Torch, Mi Remote, Mi Home, Mi Pay, and Transport Card, to name a few.
