For the uninitiated, well, Xiaomi replaced the global beta testing program with what it calls Mi Pilot MIUI Testers for Global Stable ROM.
This program is meant to provide early access to upcoming stable MIUI updates to a few owners of select devices in order to collect necessary feedback.
Depending on the nature of feedback collected from Mi Pilot testers, Xiaomi will determine whether to proceed with the wider rollout or halt the process to fix any bugs that may have been discovered.
