Xiaomi Phone to Get Ice Cream Sandwich Android 4.0

The attractively priced (1,999 yuan — $313) Xiaomi Phone is a very lovable smartphone that sports a 1.5GHz dual core processor plus 8-megapixel camera. Perhaps the most interesting part of the Xiaomi phone is that it features MIUI, one of Android’s most popular custom ROM flavors that is specially designed for the Chinese Android users. MIUI is currently based on Android 2.3, and according to the engineer of MIUI from Xiaomi, MIUI will be updated to be based on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich OS.

Xiaomi engineer said on his Weibo that a 4.0 version of MIUI will be released soon

We know Google and Samsung are primed to reveal the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich OS (plus Nexus Prime) in a few hours, and the Chinese company Xiaomi which has been in charge of MIUI’s software development, is aiming to be the first Chinese company to introduce an Android 4.0 smartphone. So, MIUI will be based on Android 4.0 as soon as possible, and I must say – it’s no hush puppy and leaves us highly impressed. Below is a video promo showing off the Xiaomi Phone and the power of MIUI.
