Looking for the Android 7.0 Nougat update for Redmi Note 3, Redmi Note 4, Redmi 2 Prime, Redmi 3, Redmi 3s, Redmi 3A, Xiaomi Mi 5, Redmi Pro, Mi 4s, Mi 4c, Mi Max, Mi Note, Mi Note Pro, Mi Pad 2 and Mi 4i?
Good news as there is an Android 7.0 Nougat AOSP ROM available for an earlier experience of the Nougat.
Xiaomi is known for taking its precious time in rolling out the latest Android OS updates. The Android 6.0 Marshmallow has taken forever in rolling out to Xiaomi devices. The reason is that the company is mainly focusing on its own MIUI ROM.
So, Xiaomi users may be disappointed because Android 7.0 Nougat update for Redmi Note 3, Redmi Note 4, Redmi 2 Prime, Redmi 3, Redmi 3s, Redmi 3A, Xiaomi Mi 5, Redmi Pro, Mi 4s, Mi 4c, Mi Max, Mi Note, Mi Pad 2, and Mi 4i are not rolling out any time soon.
Also, Xiaomi Mi 2, Mi 2S, Mi 3, Mi 4 and Redmi 1S are getting the Android 7.0 Nougat, at all. This is because the Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processors in these devices are not compatible with Android 7.0 Nougat's Vulcan API.
On the brighter side, Xiaomi Mi3 and Mi4 users have the chance to experience the latest Android OS. This is through Android 7.0 Nougat AOSP ROM, unofficial yet mirror firmware of the Nougat. For the complete steps on how to do it, visit this page.
Users have to keep in mind that this is an unofficial firmware so proceeding with the installation has its risks. Also, Android 7.0 Nougat AOSP ROM is still on its development stage so users may encounter bugs and issues.
With this, Xiaomi Mi3 and Mi4 should be backed-up completely before trying the Android 7.0 Nougat AOSP ROM. The battery of the devices should also be more than 70%, better if fully charged, to avoid any power outages during installation.
Stay updated with the latest Android 7.0 Nougat news for Redmi Note 3, Redmi Note 4, Redmi 2 Prime, Redmi 3, Redmi 3s, Redmi 3A, Xiaomi Mi 5, Redmi Pro, Mi 4s, Mi 4c, Mi Max, Mi Note, Mi Note Pro, Mi Pad 2, and Mi 4i.
