Xiaomi India has been reportedly rolling out the OTA update for the Xiaomi Mi 4i to address overheating issues.
"The update is now available for download and is 40MB in size. You can download the OTA update through the Updater app on your Mi 4i," GSM Arena reported.
In a recent interview Hugo Barra said that aside from the overheating issues it will also bring additional bug fixes and optimization.
"The new thermal controls adjust frequency, voltage and the number of cores in use depending on the chipset temperature. In all of our internal testing and pre-OTA release in the MIUI Forum and beta testers, we've observed that these changes reduce the device overall temperature without impacting performance," Hugo Barra said.
