Yesterday, we learned that there are at least 5 million people who are still using their Xiaomi Mi 2/2S despite this generation of Mi devices being more than four years old. Today, some great news follows regarding the decision to update the Xiaomi Mi 2 and Mi 2S to Android Nougat, along with MIUI 9.

The news comes from the official MIUI English forum. Xiaomi has included the Mi 2 and Mi 2S in the list of devices that are getting MIUI 9, which is set to launch on July 26 alongside the Xiaomi Mi 5X.
