Xiaomi Phone to get vanilla Android 2.3.5 next month, Ice Cream Sandwich in January

By now most of you could already know that the attractively priced Xiaomi Phone will support both MIUI and vanilla Android ROMs (though not simultaneously on its dual-partition system ); but earlier today, CEO Lei Jun confirmed that October will see the discharge of said device’s vanilla Android 2.3.5 ROM, meaning the keen beans should not have to attend long after the Xiaomi Phone’s launch within the same month.

More interestingly, Lei also announced that his Beijing-based chums shall be rolling out a vanilla 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich build in January, that’s about two or three months after Eric Schimdt’s expected launch date . Sounds about right in case you have a look at previous releases, and we will wait for observing the epic 4.0 battle between the Xiaomi Phone, the ASUS Padfone and the rumored Nexus Prime .
