The Mi Note 3 runs MIUI 9.0 based on Android 7.1 Nougat out-of-the-box, but there is a high tendency for Android Oreo update to be release for the device in the near future, though there is no official confirmation on it yet. It has a fingerprint sensor on the home button and also supports face unlocking.
