Situation regarding software updates - Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers

Mi Mix 3 was a flagship phone in 2018. Mine is global version and I have not received updates since 2021.
Are they really gonna abandon software support after 3 years and leave it with Android 10?
What's your take on this, guys?

Miui 13 Come to china firmware but with android 10. Xiaomi was not good to maintain there product and like you i hope have à last update with miui 13 but i not expecting more than that....
For me it's the First and last xiaomi Phone i bought cause i have 2 update i must force..... Expecting more userfreindly experience.
The phone work great again and all the hardware part of this one was good 3 years after.....

Xiaomi and support for the their phones

My Mix 2s is on the way and I'm excited to get it. I'm just wondering how is Xiaomi with supporting their phones? Do they tend to be one upgrade of Android then done? How are they with security updates? I've wanted a mi mix since the first but only now had the money to snag one. Coming from the V20 while a great phone in it's day - LG never updated it from 7.0 and I've gotten only a couple of security updates. I'll keep it as a backup for the moment because it has literally everything but wireless charging.
Since I bought my mix 2s in may I've received about 2 updates. Currently waiting for miui10

The list of MIUI 10 is quite long,
so compared to others I would say they update longer.
I will also buy Mix2s for several reasons and this is one of them
Xiaomi is known for supporting their phones very long but you have to keep in mind that Miui doesn't follow android versions. There are phones with lollipop and miui 9

Nokia 8.1;Android One, starts receiveing Android 10, good news for A2 Lite ?

"HMD Global has announced the rollout of Android 10 for the Nokia 8.1, making it the first Nokia smartphone to get a stable build of the latest version of Android."
https://m.gsmarena.com/nokia_8_1_android_10_update-news-39549.php
Is this good news for any Android One phone, or Android One project, or is it a matter of manufacturers that build the phones, maybe this could have good effect on development of Android 10 for A2 Lite ?
Nokia always gave timely updates to their devices, this matter doesn't really have any effect on other androidone devices. Nokia also adds other features to their phones (they're all androidone afaik), like round ui, pixel blue accent color and cam2api. As far as updates go, xiaomi isn't that good with their androidone phones, so don't get your hopes up and get frustrated afterwards. I would love to have Android 10 soon but, I know it's not gonna happen. Cheers.
its strictly related to nokia, this. the fact that they will push it sooner then xiaomi means nothing to us. it all depends on Xiaomi when they will start working for it, and when will they release... nokia is known for being faster to update then xiaomi thats for sure. so just sit and wait
...or, you could install unofficial android 10, there is a good GSI version here on xda which works fairly well.

My brother is using a Nokia 7 plus and I had Android 9 weeks before him and even with security updates Nokia isn't faster all the time compared to Xiaomi.
I've never managed to get any kind of custom rom working through TWRP because of the kinstalldeviceopenerror.

Okay let me ask this, do you consider the Pie update we got as stable? Because I still think that we never got a stable build of Pie from Xiaomi. I can't even update to September update because it breaks the digitizer for me and I can't even use the screen properly. I have no idea how stable is Nokia's version of Pie but maybe you can enlighten us about that.

In my eyes our Android Pie is very stable. I never had to reboot my device due to system instability bugs. The worst one I ever had was the screen rotate flash bug. My battery backup after one year of usage is still superb, usually I get 7 hours of screentime within 5-6 days of usage. Most reported bugs appear to be on devices which had installed custom firmware and messed up vendor partitions.
The only thing I dislike on this device is the low headphone sound volume while using a European Union display language. I'm just using U.S. English to fix that.
I don't know about bugs in Nokia phones, my brother never told me about anything special and I can't check his phone because he's in England and I'm in Germany.

Nothing official, but I think q1/2020 would be a good guess.
Last year Mi A1 got the Android 9 update on the 23rd of december.
My guess is Mi A2 Lite will get Android 10 in late december.

December update

Hey People,
Any hope of Android 10 coming now as a christmas present?
Guess we'll find out soon ?
Yeah know it doesn't help :good:

Chances for it are rather low.
So basically Android 9 was released by Google on August 6, 2018 and we got the Beta for Pie at the end of November/ beginning of December 2018. Considering that Android 10 was released by Google on May, 2019. We can assume that it takes roughly 3-4 months for the first year Android One phones. Mi A1 got its second Android update (Android 9) at the end of December 2018, which means that it took the Mi A1 4 months to get its second Android update, which means altogether that XIAOMI IS FRICKING LATE AGAIN.
So yeah, I also hope for at least a 10 Beta, but I'm not keeping my hopes up about it. I'd suggest you do the same. Cheers.
Meanwhile I got the MIUI 11 update on my other phone at the end of October. Android One is a joke.

No, this only shows Xiaomi's priorities. They put the best part of their developers to work on MIUI, and leave A1 phones for their spare time.
There was a mention in other thread a while ago about Xiaomi wanting to drop A1 phones all together, but we never got confirmation about it.

It's not necessary for MIUI 11 to have android 10, on my other phone I got MIUI 11 and I still have android 9.
MIUI is Xiaomi's selling point. Android One probably has a relatively low priority and therefore very few manpower, as it produces the least profit. All of their customer support people I had contact with didn't even knew that they sell non MIUI devices.
Edit: Nokia isn't any better. My Nokia 7 Plus usually gets the security updates later than my A2 Lite and Android 10 will not be around until next year as well.

Mi A1 launched with Android 7 which means it doesnt support native Project Treble. On the other side our phone launched with Android 8 which means we must take updates fast than Mi A1.
Even Huawei P Smart 2019 got its Android 10 update. This is real shame for Xiaomi and Google.

I heard MIUI 11 is not at all Android 10 (at least on my father's Redmi Note 7 and neighbor's Redmi Note 8) and Xiaomeme (as we call it since the 'bricking' update of Mi A2) shows that they're really cockteasing Android 10 in most of their devices where in fact it is still Android Pie (at least in developing countries like PHL regions).
And yeah, AndroidOne is not their priorities, even they did not fix bugs, but instead, adding more bugs than what it already have.

No. Xiaomi isn't the best when it comes to updates. Guess they don't have the manpower.
Edit: Also most other manufacturers only releases Android 10 updates in this year for their flagships. Mid-range / budget phones are at the bottom of the line.

Do you think Huawei P Smart 2019 is a flagship??? It got Android 10 update!! Plus this phone has heavy bloated UI instead of our phone’s naked Android UI. Huawei updated it before the Xiaomi&Google’s Android One phone.
Google should take action about it. Google can suspend Xiaomi’s Android One licence. Xiaomi intentionally not giving any info about promised update and they still didnt gived any OS update. No one wants to buy a lie!
I thought the whole point of the Android One program was to ensure that the phones received timely updates for 2 years, which would include at least 2 OS updates.
Oh guys, calm down. December update for A2 lite isnt even out and you are talking about bad update policy. Once a month we get a security patch and Android Q is guaranteed for our device.
What do you all expect from a phone that costs 150,- (and now even cheaper)?
Buy a Pixel phone if you want beta and stable versions of the latest android.

I wouldn't count on that, Mi A3's kernel source code for Android Q was released weeks ago, but they still didn't get the update.

Don't know if the information is correct but I hope that Android 10 for the Mi A2 Lite isn't very far.
EDIT: Found some news from January 10 about kernel source code release and news from January 11 abrout the update rolling out.

Mi A3 kernel was released 2 months ago and the update was 3 days ago.
Also we didn't get February patch so they either going to release the Feb patch with a10 in a couple of days or they re way behind of schedule. (Even more then before)
Also the update will be most likely just as a buggy mess as the mi a3's update.

I wish i had bought Honor 10 Lite... That phone got Android 10 update months ago.
But Mi A2 Lite will have better longevity then that. Because of the aluminum chassis. Chassis cools components down. I thought about it when i am trying to make decision between them.
Heat is the Enemy of the Longevity.
Also Android 10 provides Thermal API which will help for Longevity too. Thats why i need that Android 10.
Did anyone watch Mi A2 Lite announcement? I did. They make some customizations on hardware to decrease heat.

Its been 6 months (183 days) since Android 10 release. We are still waiting Android 10 update for Xiaomi's Android One device.
Mi A2 Lite supports Project Treble, Xiaomi doesnt have to implement their Miui makeup on Pure Android 10 also theyre still using old 3.x kernel and we're still waiting Android 10 update from Xiaomi.
Is 6 months not enought for lazy Xiaomi devs for Android 10 update?
Xda devs released Android 10 months ago without taking money. So this proves its possible to take updates early.
Then why we are not getting what Android One deserves?? Like Motorola Android One devices?
That lazy company's devs taking money for work. Maybe devs has nothing to do. Their company forcing them to be lazy??
I have a question. Are they doing it intentionally?
My answer is yes. But what for?
1- Xiaomi want to push us to buy fancy Miui phones? Because those phones requires bold wallet. That means more earning for them.
2- This is a company policy??
3- They cant do their planned obsolescence on Pure Android phones??
4- They cant get ads earnings from it.
Because of these reasons we're getting buggy updates, no updates??
Then why Xiaomi selled it as Android One device? To get more earnings???? Yes.
??????
What are we waiting for Xiaomi????
Release that thing!!
The way this company managed it, "Android one" is just a big scam.
At this point if they had given the possibility to install a MIUI, they would have a better figure ...

General Horray ! Our complaints were heard. Merged oos Bs is dead. Rip

Until then a flagship 9 series sits on a Nov security patch. Oxygen Os coming
They seriously think leaving everyone on November security update is going to be acceptable? They are really shooting themselves in the foot if they're going to force people to wait close to a year with no new update.
We will get some type of A12 Oxygen operating system and mainly 3-4 security patches before A13 comes.
This literally made my day.
