Good news for Xiaomi fans everywhere, MIUI 9 Global ROM 7.9.7 update is now live and the third batch of Xiaomi smartphones are now eligible to download it which you can get it from Xiaomi's forum thread here. Below is the list the third batch that can be updated:

Xiaomi just announced that the latest MIUI 8.2 update is now rolling out to most of the Xiaomi phones made over the last 2 years. These devices would progressively receive the update over-the-air (OTA) through the Updater app. Users can also run a manual update by downloading the update from here too.

The first round of devices that’ll receive the MIUI 8.2 update are: Mi 3, Mi 4, Mi 4i, Mi Note, Mi Max, Redmi 1S and Redmi Note 4G.

If you haven't heard, Xiaomi is apparently running a poll on Weibo right now asking fans if they would like a 4-inch display smartphone or not. The poll has not ended yet, but within 12 hours the opinion is almost evenly split with the majority preferring a bigger smartphone as opposed to the 4-inch version.

As you may already know, the Xiaomi Mi 5s and Mi 5s Plus are already on sale in China. But out of nowhere, a new Redmi phone appeared online which features a fullmetal black body, and it's even coined as the new Mi 5c.

Sorry TechNavers, last week due to weekend events and issues we could not foresee, I couldn't get the Weekly TechNave out. The good news is that now we have 2 weeks of tech news and events for this week's Weekly TechNave.

Internationally, the Xiaomi Mi 5S and Mi 5S Plus got launched along with the TCL 950 and Blackberry will not be designing smartphones anymore. Samsung also officially announced their Galaxy A8 (2016). The Malaysian prices for the Apple iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus got "officially" leaked, so check out our compilation page to register your interest for the telco of your choice.

The leaks were true- there are new phones from Xiaomi ready to be unleashed to the world. Not only the company announced the Xiaomi Mi 5s, they also announced the Xiaomi Mi 5s Plus, the variant with the dual camera on the back.

We are just a day away to the unveiling of the new Xiaomi Mi 5s as well as the previously unknown Mi 5s Plus, set to be on September 27 – and new info keeps on coming. Xiaomi has teased that it will be featuring a new kind of fingerprint scanner, have Force Touch on board, and we even have some photos of the phone and box available on line.

Xiaomi rumours are running strong for a past few weeks now, particularly the Xiaomi Mi 5s that we've been speculating with tech-specs, leaked images and even the supposedly reveal date on 27 September 2016. However, the latest news now is that there might not even be a Mi 5s, as spotted on a Chinese social media thread by the company.

Xiaomi Mi 5s is highly anticipated by many users around the world, as it is set to marry many different techs into a flagship that you don't need to pay through the nose to own. Mark down September 27 as the date to see the launch of this new flagship.

The Xiaomi Mi 5s is the next flagship from Xiaomi that everyone is waiting to grab their hands on, and a new photo leak online has possibly shown us how the back of the smartphone will look like – which is unlike the norm of today’s designs.
