There will also be a progressive rollout to other devices that will be able to support the ROM in the next few weeks.
This piece of good news was announced via the MIUI forums that indeed, the MIUI 8.2 Global Stable ROM is rolling out.

Its not N based! its still marshmallow
Thanks for clarifying this! Updated the article.
I have Mi Max with Nougat and beta MIUI 8. Can I use this new MIUI 8 2?
Why is Mi 5, nonetheless being a company’s flagship and somewhat spearhead device, always secondary when it comes to software updates.
