Xiaomi has confirmed that it would make Android 7.0 Nougat operating system available to over a dozen of its popular handsets but it hasn't been prompt at that. However, it's better late than never, and now it has emerged that the big screen Mi Max, which was released more than a year ago, is on the verge of receiving the firmware.
The Chinese mobile phone manufacturer has started seeding beta version of Android 7.0 Nougat OS based on the global MIUI 8.5.1.0 ROM to select Xiaomi Mi Max 3GB RAM model devices, reported GSMArena citing Greek Xiaomi Lovers. The report went on to say that the firmware update comes with a security patch for the month of May.
