Should be the bare minimum

I stopped buying Xiaomi because they switched from “monthly updates for years to come” (until around mi 5-6) to “a single update in the phone lifetime, if you’re lucky” (RIP those idiots who purchased an expensive mix 3 5g and never saw any update) passing from “we gonna push ota updates without testing, you might softbrick LOL”

Although is understandable because they churn out 1 new phone every week, I guess it’s extremely tiring compiling and testing software for all those variants /s

They copy everything from the iPhone, they don’t copy the best part. Just three new models every year, updates for years. Why the opposite? People is going to lose track of what’s better between the mi 13s pro x and the Redmi note 16x pro 5g. Especially when you add more chaos by rebadging that Redmi as poco x33 pro 5g but changing some bits here and there to make software incompatible
