MIUI 10 v8.6.21 for Xiaomi Mi 5: Details
The MIUI 10 Chinese version was released along side Xiaomi Mi 8, which also includes the same AI based features, new recent menu and a lot more. However being a Chinese build the ROM includes Chinese bloatware and apps but it lacks the most important Google apps in the firmware. Good thing about this ROM is that you can flash Google Apps in the device later after flashing the main ROM.
The MIUI 10 for MI 5 will be released later via OTA but following the below instructions you can flash it right away on your device without waiting for the official roll out. MIUI 10 update for Mi 5 will be rolling out via OTA for the beta testers first and then stable roll out will happen.
