Now if you are thinking should you go for it, my recommendation would for sure Yes. Below are some of the reasons
1. Completely build from grounds up, lot of performance enhancements
2. Feature I was in particular excited about was Second life. You can have different profiles and data and apps would be saved specifically in that space. A feature which is mostly available in phones targeting high end business executives.
3. Camera app has been updated and lot more options have been thrown in, specially video compressing and editing.
4. Redesigned notification panel.
5. Special focus on blending real time weather in various apps of phone. Weather app in itself looks cool now.
5. Visually appealing, Themes and color combinations look great.
6 Quick ball feature, basically a launcher app to get to your applications more quickly.
A major miss might be on the Operating system, one would have expected Xiaomi to finally upgrade to latest Android versions, but no luck on that.
Overall You should upgrade if your device is supported.
