Xiaomi is one of the few brands that always manages to produce very competitive devices with a high ratio of quality, specifications and price. All this hardware, however, even if cheap, is not very useful if not decorously coupled with software of equal goodness.
As you have already read in the title, in this post we will talk about the various updates just promised by Xiaomi. The image below, with all the devices and their versions of Android O / P comes directly from the Weibo profile (Chinese social network) of MIUI, are therefore official data to which we can refer.
Xiaomi publishes the list of devices that will receive Android 9 Pie
So let's start with the devices that will receive Android 9 Pie. In this group we have the mid-range Xiaomi Mi 6X and the entry-level Redmi Note 5, Redmi S2 and Redmi 6 Pro. All the devices just mentioned will be tested with Android 9 Pie in beta in the first quarter of 2019.
Then there is a line of terminals that already run with Android O and that will remain with that OS. This includes: Xiaomi Mi 5, Xiaomi Mi 5s, Xiaomi Mi 5s Plus, Xiaomi Mi 6, Xiaomi Mi MIX, Xiaomi Mi MIX 2, Xiaomi Mi Note 2, Xiaomi Mi Note 3, Xiaomi Redmi 5, Xiaomi Redmi 5A and Xiaomi Mi 5X.
Finally, we have smartphones that will be updated to Android 9 Pie as soon as possible. These include the Xiaomi Mi MIX 2S, the Xiaomi Mi 8, the Xiaomi Mi 8 SE, the Xiaomi Mi Max 3 and the Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite.
Among the devices listed above, we note the lack of Xiaomi Mi MIX 2 and Mi 6 which therefore most likely will not receive the update to the Android XnumX Pie. Having said that, Xiaomi had previously specified that only the most obsolete models or that have been updated at least twice would no longer be updated. We believe that both the Mi MIX 9 and the Mi 2 released in 6 with Android 2017 Nougat should not be part of it. What do you think about it? Should Xiaomi absolutely upgrade these two devices? Comment below with your opinion!
xiaomi 6a will receive android pie?
Hi I have a redmi 5 plus no brand android 9 will arrive for my device I am stuck at Android 8
I have the same problem too. They haven't updated anything yet
I bought a mix 2 a week ago… I said it all !!!
my redmix 5 is still firm an android 7
I did not understand if my RedMi Note 4 (Spapdragon) will officially receive Android P, at the moment it is stopped at Android N…. A greeting
to everyone.
It will no longer receive updates of the OS but only, perhaps, of the MIUI.
My advice is to unlock it and move on to a custom rom.
Pie turns very well and if you install the modified google camera makes a lot better.
Obviously you have to give up MIUI even if you can partially compensate with the launcher of POCO.
Thank you for the advice, you're right, but I'm hesitant to switch to a Custom ROM, like the Pixel Experience, but I'm afraid of screwing up. Unfortunately, I don't know anyone who is an expert in this area.
I use the aosp extended.
The procedure is very simple.
Find a thousand online guides, maybe even here I can not remember.
The first thing is unlocking the bootloader.
