Hello, today (if things go as planned) I'll probably unlock my bootloader (~168hours will have passed by afternoon). I'm thinking whether I should install this version or the upcoming one which seems to be a big one. Is it stated anywhere if it's gonna be beta or stable (I'd ~prefer to use betas on my xiaomi, so if the next one is a stable one I might go through the process of setting up the phone multiple times)?
As an extra (a bit irrelevant) question, when I'll unlock the bootloader will xiaomi need to verify my number with an sms or is adding a number to my account prior to unlocking enough? (Becaue I've ~been having problems making xiaomi verify my number with an sms, but I've added it to my mi account, I may have to top up my balance to make it work.)
