@Thabeef
double tap to wake doesn't need a special hardware implementation (besides a touch screen :p.) There are a huge number of custom kernels for a huge number of devices that support DT2W that didn't originally support it.

          It's funny to see that Chinese manufacturers are starting to be better at updates than the ''non-Chinese popular manufacturers'' like Samsung.

                There is a mistake in the post, Mi Note top is the Mi Note Pro with SD810 and not the Mi note which has SD801 SOC.

                  Wow Nougat. I have Redmi Note 3 and we just got our Marshmallow update with MIUI 8.x.

                            Wait doesn't the Xiaomi Mi Note(original) use a Snapdragon 801 that doesn't support Nougat?

                              stock MIUI sends stats to Chinese unknown servers and you gets weird Chinese ads.
                              all of its phone definitely needs clean roms

                                Some people down here are seriously misinformed. As a Xiaomi user myself my Redmi 2 Pro has received not less than 3 updates already and its currently running MIUI 8 and its amazingly stable.

                                  Dear double tap to wake is already there in settings.
                                  I would expect the following in New update though:
                                  1: POP up Windows in messaging app
                                  2. Controlling the failure to receive text using third party ask like Go SMS pro
                                  3. Enhanced dialing screen option
                                  4. Multi Windows mode
                                  5. Default swiping keyboard
                                  6. Enhanced camra performance, specially for Mi max in dark environment (it looks like 2MP) though it is 16MP
                                  7. Advanced scanning option, like that of Camscan
                                  8. Including apps other than Chinese versions in App store
                                  9. Serious improvements needed in default web browser
                                  Thanks
