Software support doesn't last forever. Xiaomi has highlighted several devices that will no longer receive MIUI China updates
One of the things that has made Xiaomi popular in the Android community is their reputation with software updates. We consistently see MIUI updates roll out to devices week after week, and that includes devices up to 5-years old. However, software support doesn't last forever. The company has highlighted several devices that will no longer receive MIUI China updates.
MIUI 9 was announced back in July 2017. The global version of MIUI 9 was launched in November, and since then, Xiaomi has slowly updated most of its smartphones with MIUI 9. MIUI 9 brought performance improvements, while the incremental MIUI 9.5 update also brought notification handling behavior in MIUI in line with stock Android. At an event in China, Xiaomi announced MIUI 10, the successor of MIUI 9, alongside the launch of the Mi 8, Mi 8 Explorer Edition, and the Mi 8 SE.
