Xiaomi says that it will announce the exact models that will be supported closer to the launch, but it seems likely that the beta handsets will make the cut at least, which includes the Mi 4i, Mi 3, Redmi 2, Redmi Note, and Redmi 1S.

MIUI 7 includes a number of new features, such as UI Themes, improved performance and sleep wake-ups, and a new Child Mode.
