ΥThere have been cases where Xiaomi has been criticized for not being one of the most active companies in updating its smartphones, leaving some Android phones a bit outdated. While every week xiaomi provides continuous distributions of new ROMs to a number of devices, with constant improvements in the code, new additions of functions, updates of the Security Patch of android and continuous debugging after the comments of the members in the various forums, however in terms of Android Version, many devices are left behind.
But this is not the case today, as the Xiaomi Mi 5S 5S and Xiaomi Mi Plus, exactly two years after their entry into the market, finally receive Android 8.0 Oreo, although only in beta, for now.
At the same time, the company also announced that the Beta distribution of Android 7 Nougat for the Mi 5S and Mi 5S Plus will officially take place this Friday, September 14th. While the new beta ROM with Android Oreo will be available from September 17 on all compatible devices.
Android 8 Oreo reaches beta for Xiaomi Mi 5S and Mi 5S Plus
As you all know, Android 8 Oreo is not really Google's latest operating system right now. In fact, its successor has already started its course last August, and we are talking about Android 9 Pie. Nevertheless, the changes that Oreo will bring to the two smartphones will be quite significant, perhaps much more interesting than the ones we will have with the transition to Android Pie.
Going from Android 7 to Android 8, we will see progress in terms of battery life, thanks to algorithms that improve its use, such as shutting down applications in the background when it is in sleep mode, in order to optimize battery usage. keeping applications open only when necessary. The new operating system also expects greater speed in use and increased security thanks to the latest security updates. Finally, it will also be possible to restrict permissions on any application, for those who do not want to give full access to an unreliable application.
What do you think about this update, is it a little late? Do you own one of the upgradeable phones?

Happy owner of a xiaomi mi5s plus. I would say potassium later than ever, but the issue is we who have stable will be slow to see these differences. And by then we may have bought a new one. Nevertheless, the mobile phone remains strong and with good battery autonomy. And what makes me sad is that the new models lack some features, such as an infrared port, headphones.
