This site from Xiaomi tells you how many updates your phone will get

The years of mobile phone support are now more important than ever, as whether or not a mobile phone will break depends in part on these things. In the long run, without security updates, devices will become slow, have problems loading certain apps and are therefore unusable in many ways. Xiaomi phones are no exception. In fact, the company has a policy of giving most of its models only 3 major updates. Others have more time, but how do you know?

Thanks to the official Xiaomi page, we have this information at hand, coming from a reliable source that will tell you everything. We will teach you what this website is and how to navigate through it to find out how many updates are left on your Xiaomi mobile.

- How to know how many updates are left for your Xiaomi phone

To find out how many updates are left on your Xiaomi mobile phone, you will have 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 elements that make up the wonderful Xiaomi ecosystem.

In our case, we will choose the Smartphones category. By doing so, the page will take you to a site that contains all the information about Xiaomi's update policy, the details of each update and, what interests us, the section that describes the number of updates that each model will receive and that contains the Android Recommendation (AER information).

As you can see, you can search for any phone and you will find interesting data in it: the frequency of updates, the release date of the mobile, until which year it will be given security updates, all the Android versions it will receive, as well as the Android version it started with since its arrival on the market.

In general, Xiaomi gives its phones up to 3 years of support, except for its flagship phones where it extends the time to 4. This is something we hope will change over time, if the company wants to catch up with its competition.
