I've received my A2 Lite last week, it's a great phone overall.
Has Xiaomi been fast with the updates for their Mi A1 and A2/Lite phones?
Can I expect Security patches in a timely manner?
This is my first ever Mi phone, after being a Motorola user since 2013.
I don't know for A1 and A2, but A2 lite receive the security update each month, in the last 10 days.

Thanks. It looks like the security patches come out at every 15th or 16th day of every month.
I asked because Motorola takes several months just to release a single patch. Nice to see this is not the case with Xiaomi.
Hi!
Question: Xiaomi guarantees updates for up to two years for Android versions?
Motorola, for example, confirms 2 system updates and at least 6 months of security updates for the Moto X4, which is also part of Android One.
I'm asking because I want to buy a device with Android One like Mi A2 Lite.
Pixel is very expensive to bring to my country and I would Android as pure as possible. In other hand, Moto X4 have little problems like camera focus and internal memory.

Almost everywhere I read about A2/Lite, they write that 2 years guaranteed OS updates + 3 years security updates, but does xiaomi conform to this? Are there any guidelines made by google that must be followed? (idk, for example all android one phones must receive security patch until end of given month, etc, etc..) Or are those numbers just assumption..

I saw 18 months update
AFAIK all android one phones are handled by Google so 2 years software updates an 2 or 3 years security updates

So if I understood, Mi A2 Lite will receive Android updates up to 2020 - Android 11 "R" - and security patches up to 2022 more or less?
Thanks in advance!
You should get android p and android q yes
Just got the Sept Security update this morning, 360.2MB in size so make sure you're on WiFi.
Hey everyone! ?
In this thread I will update you on anything related to EMUI 10 based on Android 10 Q for the P20 lite.
I've found some interesting information regarding Android Q on the P20 lite. I've attached a screenshot of something I keep on getting when I open HiCare. This is in Dutch, but I will translate it for you. It says:
5 promises for carefree use
1. Use apps
2. Update apps
3. Security updates
4. Service
5. Android Q
This is already a good start, but we don't know if this message is just to the general Huawei smartphones, or the P20 lite.
UPDATE 1 - JULY 12TH 2019: Huawei is ready to show its EMUI 10 based on Android Q next month. This might mean earlier release for the current devices, which will result in more time being left for older / budget devices.
Source
UPDATE 2 - JULY 15TH 2019: Today Huawei Central has released a topic talking about what phones will get the EMUI 10. The P20 lite is listed here too, but it is on the list of devices that will probably get it, so not the list of the devices that will get it.
Source
UPDATE 3 - SEPTEMBER 17TH 2019: Great news! We just got an official confirmation that our device will get Android 10 in March 2020.
Source
UPDATE 3.1 - OCTOBER 8TH 2019: The P20 lite is removed from the list on source 3. This doesn't mean it won't come, but keep it in mind.
UPDATE 4 - NOVEMBER 7TH 2019: We are getting EMUI 10 in March 2020. You can copy the link into google translate and select Romainian to your own language. Source
UPDATE 5 - NOVEMBER 27TH 2019: Huawei is not releasing Android 10 for the P20 lite. @ZoufalyP thanks for mentioning
Source
UPDATE 6 - JANUARY 19TH 2020: Some more proof that they won't be releasing it for the P20 lite.
Source
Thanks @CristianLN and @Inf1n1te for mentioning
UPDATE 7 - JANUARY 21ST 2020: Huawei has officially announced the list of devices getting EMUI 10, with the P20 lite not being listed. If you really want Android 10, you might want to look into custom roms, but know that Huawei's bootloaders are almost impossible to unlock.
Source
UPDATE 8 - FEBRUARY 10TH 2020: Instead of monthly updates, the P20 lite will now get updates every quarter. This probably means that there will be no EMUI 10 like they said earlier.
Source
UPDATE 9 - FEBRUARY 13TH 2020: Bad news. Very bad news. The P20 lite won't get any updates anymore, not even security ones. No EMUI 10 for us. I thought all Android phones should get at least 2 years of updates. Huawei's decision might make their current status even worse...
Source
Ofcourse, the P20 lite isn't €200-€300 like Huawei's previous lite series, it was €400 at launch, so there is a bigger chance of them releasing it for us. I can't confirm anything about this since it's really early and the Android Q hasn't launched a stable version, so take this with a grain of salt.
If you have any questions about EMUI 9.1, please ask them on this thread from @ars_chelsea, there are tons of people helping you there. Here's the link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p20-lite/how-to/android-pie-update-status-huawei-t3836567 - Also, please let me know about any updates of EMUI 10 by commenting on the main post or sending me a dm so I can add it to the main post.
If this comes out, this might come next year or even more, you saw how long it took for pie to come out.

This is very nice to see, it's the first time they could actually update their lower tier devices a second time.

1. Yes, open HiCare and click updates. It should be available there.
2. Normally they gave 1 update for every lite phone, but this one cost more at launch then the normal ones from Huawei. That's also a bigger chance of them releasing it, but it will probably come later.

Are you sure? It should be out for all devices by now. You just have to open the HiCare application in your device and look for update section. Rollback is an option which HiSuite has on computers AFAIK.

For everyone it will come, originally it would release in the end of July, but some people like me already got it in May. If you still can't update in the end of this month, you should contact Huawei about it. And no, a VPN won't help you, because it looks at the IMEI number. Also, it's only available for the ANE-LX1 and some ANE-LX3 models I think.
Hi everyone
This thread leads to Android Q status
My thread leads to any updates on Android Pie which is already released globally, but "released/launched" means that the OTA's have started to Roll out in phases, on some countries it will be slower and for some Single SIM devices and most of the carrier locked ones will have the pie update a bit later just like any other update they had in the past.

Yeah, it's kinda weird that we only get 1 year, but for a budget phone this is very good compared to others from that time, so they probably lowered software support. I will still keep the thread open incase Huawei decides to change things.

That's because the Honor 8X has quarterly updates and not monthly.

Like i said before very strange, that there are no new security patches in this update. Maybe because we also get EMUI 10 beta soon with new security patches?

Also receiving a new software update is the Mate 20 X, but unlike the Mate 20 Pro, the former’s is a stable update based on EMUI 9.1.0. Yeah, the base software is still Android 9 Pie, but the European (global) EMUI 10 beta update shouldn’t be too far away.
As part of the small update that weighs in at a mere 2.77MB, the Mate 20 X is receiving improvements to sound effects in certain scenarios. Interestingly, the Mate 20 X update is still bundled with August security patches, which is strange arriving in mid-October. is still bundled with August security patches, which is strange arriving in mid-October.

Hi, I would like to buy used Poco F3 but I wonder how long will it be supported by security patches. Is 2023 the last year of updates for this phone?
2 major Android updates and 3 years of security updates.
It was delivered with Android 11.
Actually Android 12 so calculate for urself.
Should be upcoming Miui 14/Android 13 be last major update while security update will have for another year I think. But you never know. I mean Poco F2 Pro released 2020 was not eligible for Miui 14 but Miui 14 is now going to be release. Only its Miui 14 with Android 12.
Yeah, just got MIUI14 / Android 13, last major update. Also security update are not always every month but sparse.
Dude. This device will unofficially last for so many years with its rich and vast community. Such a capable device is so worth it. Believe me.
I've bought it just for the sake of the hardware. The moment I received it. I instantly unblocked bootloader. A week later, I started my beautiful experience with AOSPs.
Definitely a device you can feel so good about, for having such an amazing performance.
For the MIUI 14 with Android 13 on my Xiaomi phone, the Android security update is 2022-12.
