Xiaomi’s Original 2016 Mi Box is getting Android 9 Pie ( Beta released)
When Xiaomi announced the Mi Box in 2016, I was excited. So excited that I got one for myself. However, it has not been a smooth experience all the while especially with respect to updates.
The device which launched with Android 6.0 Marshmallow got an Android Nougat beta update, but a stable update was never rolled out. Instead, it received an update to Android Oreo. It has now been reported that a beta version of Android 9.0 is now available for the device, and that is exciting news for owners of this 4K streaming box.
The info comes from a Redditor who has shared a screenshot (above) of the update for the Mi Box. The 620MB update is said to bring support for the Mi Remote app but does not say more.
Xiaomi launched the 2016 Mi Box running the now-ancient Android Marshmallow and bumped the device directly to Oreo in 2018, skipping the Nougat build. After almost a two-year gap, the unit is now picking up Pie in beta, though we aren’t sure as to when its stable release will be out. The Mi Box S’s Pie builds spent two months in beta testing before hitting the stable channels earlier this year, so you can expect a similar release timeline for its predecessor.
