What is MIUI 8 OS ?
One of the most popular Android OS is the MIUI ROM that comes in stock with the Xiaomi devices. The reason that MIUI is popular is that it can be ported onto most other Android phones; just like the CyanogenMod 12.1/13/14.1. This can’t be done with firmware from other manufacturers like Samsung (TouchWiz), LG, Sony, etc. However now, the MIUI has been updated to a newer version 8, thus getting its name, MIUI 8. The MIUI 8 is based on the newer Android 6.0.1. Though Xiaomi and MIUI development team is looking forward to releasing an Android 7.0 Nougat update as well. However, it may take some time for the device to receive it.
The official MIUI 8 builds are not yet available for Android devices outside Xiaomi range. These are unofficial builds and come as custom ROMS. Hence, you will need a rooted, TWRP installed.
