In August, Xiaomi had launched the beta version of the Android Nougat-based MIUI 9 to select Mi and Redmi series devices and later to all eligible devices in a phased manner.
Now, it looks like the company is ready with a fully optimised public version of the MIUI. MIUI Marketing Deputy Director Huang Longzhon has shared the screen-shot of the latest software running on Mi 6 on Weibo (via Gizmo China) and is expected to be rolled out to the public en masse in coming days.

Considering the previous release pattern, Xiaomi, after rolling out the beta version, takes a little over two months to deploy the final version. So, if this is taken as any indication, it is expected to dispatch the software by the end of October or early November.
The company is also expected to first release MIUI 9 Chinese version in the local market and later to global smartphone models sold in Europe and Asia and other select regions.
