Even after four months since Google released the next generation Android 7.0 Nougat, only a few manufacturers have released the updates for their handsets. According to latest reports, Xiaomi Mi Note, Mi 4c, Mi 4s, Mi Max will most likely receive Android 7.0 Nougat update within the next few months. However, no specific time frame has been revealed for the launch of the update.
In response to a query posted by a leading tech portal, MIUI operations manager reportedly disclosed that the beta testing of the upcoming software is currently in progress. If you are unaware, Xiaomi will beta test new MIUI software for several months before releasing publicly.
He also added that the Xiaomi Mi 4c, Mi 4s, Mi Note and Mi Max will be the first smartphones expected to receive the Android Nougat update in the forthcoming weeks. However, we don’t have any confirmation about the availability of the update for other smartphones such as Mi 5, Mi 5s, Mi 5s Plus, Redmi 3S, Mi Mix and Mi Note 2. Interestingly, the premium flagship Redmi Note 3 is also committed from the list.

In addition to the multi-window capability, the Android 7.0 Nougat will also ship with several new features such as inline notification, instant messages through notification panel. There are reports that this feature will also work with Telegram Messenger, Hike Messenger, and WhatsApp.
