This site from Xiaomi tells you how many updates your phone will get
Mobile phone support years are now more important than ever, as whether or not a phone will break down depends in part on these factors. In the long run, without security updates, devices will become slow, experience problems loading certain apps, and thus become unusable in many ways. Xiaomi phones are no exception. In fact, the company has a policy of only giving most of its models three major updates. Others have more time, but how do you know?
Thanks to Xiaomi's official page, we have this information at hand, coming from a reliable source that will tell you everything. We'll teach you what this website is and how to navigate it to find out how many updates are left on your Xiaomi mobile phone.
How to know how many updates are left for your Xiaomi phone
To find out how many updates are left on your Xiaomi phone, you'll need to go to the Xiaomi Security Center page. The Security Update section provides information about security updates for both smartphones and the rest of the components that make up the amazing Xiaomi ecosystem.
In our case, we'll select the smartphone category. Doing so will take you to a site containing all the information about Xiaomi's update policy, details of each update, and, most importantly, a section describing the number of updates each model will receive, which includes the Android Recommendation Information (AER).
As you can see, you can search for any phone, and you will find interesting data: the frequency of updates, the release date of the mobile phone, until which year it will receive security updates, all the Android versions it will receive, and also the Android version it started with since its arrival on the market.
In general, Xiaomi offers up to 3 years of support for its phones, except for its flagship phones, where it extends the support period to 4 years. This is something we hope will change over time if the company wants to catch up with its competitors.
