Folks,
I am looking to buy Mi 6 but have concern about the ROM and updates:
1. Is Xiaomi good with updates? At least the security updates are pushed every month, yes?
2. Has Xiaomi been good with updating their devices to at least one major release in general?
3. Is Oreo promised for Mi 6?
4. Have the kernel sources been released for Mi6?
Thanks for your help.
-devsk
1.yes
2.mi 6 can get oreo at 2018 ，but i think that will be very late，when xiaomi7 released
3.dont know
4.yes,https://github.com/MiCode/Xiaomi_Kernel_OpenSource/tree/sagit-n-oss

It's very simply. I changed my Nexus 5 because security patch wasn't update. And now, my smartphone is not update again, while a lot of phones are very very supported. I choose Xiaomi because release a lot of update and it take care of his smartphones, but this is not happening with Mi 5s. Last update was released in December. I thinks is not too strange if i'm feeling a bit messed around. They promise this update from some months

Imagine:
- You buy phone in December 2016.
- You receive Global ROM about that time, you feel happy.
- You see every month China users get new stable versions, you don't.
- Around February you lost opportunity to unlock bootloader, because you need MIUI 8.1 or above. Your ROM from December is 8.0.
- Month ago Xiaomi release Global 8.2, everybody was happy, they can unlock bootloader, but after a week ROM is deleted from Download section on official site and from OTA update.
- Week ago Xiaomi promise give you first global dev release. Yay we will be able again to unlock bootloader. And they have delay...
epilogue
- Xiaomi start release closed beta Android 7 builds for mi5s. History show us that this model for Xiaomi is ************. Global version is... I have no words.
I know that there are ways to unlock bootloader etc. But official way right now don't work for Global Stable users. This phone have almost a year and stlii no working official solution.

P.S. Good you see RU is not EU

There are so many devices from Mi, they can't work normally. And you can almost always find 2 devices from Mi with same parameters

According to the flashing guide given with the link, you can. Just have to download the file and put it inside the updater folder.

About 2 weeks and coming out ! I testing the 7.5.15 android 7.0 global beta build and it's much fast than miui 8.3 6.0.1! New fonts it's very awesome !.
This firmware version came to my phone as a large 1107MB OTA update. At first I thought it was just a normal security patch with some fixes,
but turns out it isn't.
MIUI Forum - Beta Stable OTA Announcement - August 30th, 2018
According to the page above, this is a Beta Stable ROM.
What does this mean? Xiaomi just chose me and a bunch of other users as beta testers at random?
Will we have a final stable version to download at some point?
Or are we stuck in this Beta Update Channel?
-----------------------
The September 2018 security patch has been released today for the regular Mi A2 (Jasmine), but not for the A2 Lite (Daisy), and I suspect the above is the exact reason for this.
Very confusing, could someone please clarify?

If any of you finally receive the september 2018 security update, post here as a reply.

There's no changelog of any kind. It's completely stable, not sure why it's still a beta.
Android 9 release date ? For A2 lite
When coming Android 9 in A2 lite ....
I'm also on V9.6.6.0.ODLMIFF ... And not receive September security update till now... And last update large size 1107 MB .....
Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Android 9 Pie update :
Android 9 Pie update expected in Q1 2019
Beta version may roll out before the end of 2018
As already pointed out, Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite comes preinstalled with Oreo 8.1 and thus is entitled to an update to Android 9 Pie, probably the one and only OS upgrade the device will ever see. Xiaomi hasn’t said it publicly, but we expect a beta version to roll out before the end of 2018 followed by a stable released later in Q1 2019.
Of course, the stable Pie update will have MIUI 10 running on top.
Hello,
Global beta ROM is now officialy available, according to this article the beta version 8.12.13 is under android pie https://www.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-mi-8-lite-android-pie-beta-china/?nocache=1
Even if it says that you need bootloader unlocked, I checked on the official website and saw it was available as a global version, here's the link http://en.miui.com/download-346.html#552 (and if you want, here's the changelog http://en.miui.com/thread-4885974-1-1.html)
Since I only have my mi 8 lite in a few days (tomorrow hopefully), I could not test it myself, if nobody does before I'll confirm as soon as possible
Tell me if I'm making any mistake
Have a nice day

Hello.
Does someone know why xiaomi mi mix 2 doesn't have support from the manufacturer ? The last update is from 01.08.2018 ,this is not an old phone,it's a flagship.Does someone know the real reason?Anybody have any news about pie ?
That's the reason I decided to go for a custom ROM. I had a Huawei P8 before mix2 and their support was a piece of s..t too. The worst about that was that there was almost no custom rom development become of Kirin.. I am glad I have SD device now because I can make decisions I couldn't before. If you want to be up to date with security updates, use a custom ROM. They are built by developers that do care about your device ?
A Miui 10.2 update is currently in the making. The China ROM already received this update like a week ago. Global Stable update should be coming soon.

Hi,
is it possible to keep the stock rom and install newest google security patches?
It would be better to keep everything as it is (also user data) and just install security patches.
I love this phone and I don't need a new one. I'm also fine with the stock rom.
The only thing what bothers me is that the last security patch is 5 months ago.
(im familiar with flashing custom roms years ago: cyanogenmod on galaxy s3, lineagueos on s5. But since then I did not get in touch with the custom roms topic)
Thank you!

If you're on A12 try using Oxygen Updater to see if a later update is available.
Otherwise 1+ has ended updates for the 7 series
OnePlus 7 and 7T Series Will No Longer Get Any Software Updates
OnePlus has revealed that the OnePlus 7 and the 7T series will no longer get software updates going forward. Have a look at the details.

Yes oneplus ended updates and I don't like custom roms.
So the only option for me would be to buy a new phone just because I want security patches...

Afraid so. Security updates are pretty much over once the manufacturer stops tweaking the patches for a particular line.
Even Google only promises Pixel security updates for 5 years.
