This pragmatic approach suggests that Xiaomi is prioritizing a solid foundation before adding user-facing enhancements, a strategy common in early beta cycles. TugaTech noted that the update is built around stability fixes and optimizations, mirroring the cautious rollout typical of Chinese beta programs.

Both outlets confirmed that the beta is currently exclusive to Chinese testers, with no timeline yet for a wider release. The focus on core improvements could help Xiaomi avoid the stability issues that sometimes plague early Android versions on new hardware.
