I guess you know the news about a recent GFXBenchmark that showed a Redmi Note 3 model running on Android 7.1.1, meaning that the time when we will see the official update coming to our Xiaomi phones (along with MIUI 9), is not that far along.
Today however an unknown user posted in Weibo photos of 3 Xiaomi devices (Mi Note, Mi4 and Mi Note Pro) running an unofficial version of Android 7.1.1 that has the December security patch already in it.
