It's still on 6.0.
And I just installed the dev version last week. All the effort....ai.

Will download the stable later and install.

Any advantage to moving from dev to stable?

Official OTA Stable release:

MIUI GLOBAL 8.0, version 8.0.4.0 on Marshmallow 6.01

Obviously the quick settings slide down and notifications menu is a big change - more like I am used to from my Samsung days.

Things they have got right: big "write new sms" button bottom right inside messages, and FINALLY, when you start a new message, the phone goes to the top where you put a number and the keyboard opens on the bottom of the screen - MIUI 7.5 required you to tap at the top before it would open the keyboard on screen.

From start to finish, update took 30min.

It also fixed my notification issue. Phone is running beautifully. This had to be the bargain of the century, even @ full price (+-R4000) this hone is still a bargain.
Its sturdy, the build quality is excellent, the screen is excellent. the finger print scanner is excellent, the battery is unbelievable. Not to mention its a real looker.
I will be supporting Redmi going forward.

I just bought my wife a P9lite on the WeChat deal. She is still trying to get me to give her this Note 3 as she likes the gold. I can't give up the battery and battery life on this thing.

I promised her that I will get the Note 4 when it arrives here and then sell her P9lite - she can then have her gold phone Extremely brand loyal to Xiaomi now. Will never buy a Samsung again.

Rather separate than my Xiaomi. I say try and get the MiMax and then give her the Note 3.

My wife has a P8 and it's shyte compared to the my Note 2. Divorce looks eminent.

Meh! Kview KGuard CCTV software still crashes on Miui 8. I really need to find a hikvision DVR and throw KGuard in the bin. Camera's are good but the PC and Android software is rubbish

Its 14:43 and my battery is on 77%, I have used the phone quite a bit today. I promise you, my G3 would have died twice already. There is absolutely no way im getting rid of this phone, ever. Unless they bring out a new phone with an equal or better battery.

Only a Note 4 with the same size battery will do for me as well.

Yeah, it's not only the battery, but the aggressive performance and battery and memory management that MIUI does - the combo of huge battery and seriously optimised OS is unbeatable!

Use the theme picker to select various elements like from your favourite themes to create your own personalised theme on the go. You can even select the boot screen of your choice.

I like that the ETA to full battery is now on the pull down while charging. Really enjoying MIUI 8

Just finished reading the Note 4 review on GSMarena. Major loss in battery life on that phone with the same battery as you said. Note 3 is a peach.
