As for MIUI 9, it is the latest version of Xiaomi's custom UI that runs on top Android.

But recently Xiaomi has completed the tests and is rolling out the stable version to its devices.

In any case, the new software update will come for eligible devices and the company has said that this is in line with the numerous requests coming from the Mi Fans.

Meanwhile, some of the new features that MIUI 9 will bring are new smart assistant, faster app loading, quick reply, notifications filter, home screen enhancements, revamped security app, multi-window mode, new theme features, and MIUI Labs introduction.

All in all, the new version will allow users to do more and at the same time, it will deliver better user experience as well as device performance. However, MIUI 9 is still based on Android 7.0 Nougat and because it is customized extremely it generally takes Xiaomi a longer time to release core OS updates.
