As promised Xiaomi revealed MIUI 6 today and while this new release is a major overhaul, the changes are still pretty subtle when compared to MIUI 5. Xiaomi’s latest ROM focuses on flat design and minimalism, taking away icon shadows and polishing on the fonts, locations of text, notifications and status bar. It is still very much Android beneath and it seems to fit nicely into Google’s Material Design guidelines, although we are pretty sure Xiaomi had already started working on MIUI 6 way before Google’s I/O announcement.

MIUI 6 will be available on newly announce Mi 4 smartphone and will roll out to the rest of Xiaomi phones in October this year.
