MIUI 10 China Alpha 8.7.2 now available for 11 Xiaomi devices

MIUI is available in two forms: MIUI China Stable and MIUI Global Stable. The two ROMs have important differences in functionality, as Global ROMs are intended for a global audience. MIUI Global ROMs have Google Play services integration, while MIUI China ROMs don't come with Google Play services are integrated with Xiaomi's online services. Languages and region-specific functionality are different as well. It's important to keep the above the mind when dealing with MIUI 10. MIUI 10 China was announced by Xiaomi alongside the Xiaomi Mi 8, Xiaomi Mi 8 Explorer Edition, and the Xiaomi Mi 8 SE at an event in China in May. MIUI 10 Global, on the other hand, was announced at the Xiaomi Redmi Y2 event in India last month.

The company has already detailed the roll-out schedule for both MIUI China ROM as well as the MIUI Global Beta ROM. Since MIUI 10's announcement, many Xiaomi phones have received MIUI 10 China Alpha/Beta ROMs as well as MIUI 10 Global Beta ROMs. Now, MIUI 10 China Closed Alpha 8.7.2 is available for 11 Xiaomi devices.

• Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X (Redmi Note 4 Qualcomm variant)
