- devereaux 10y agoYou have a very biased view. The real problem with phones made for China is that they don't support LTE bands from North America. That's bad because I would love to have such a nice phone, but not at the expense of going back to 3G.
- Illniyar 10y agoMy hauwei got android 6 a few months ago. Definitely a long wait, but they update regularly as far as I know.
- ewheeler 10y agoI have the Xiaomi Mi4C, which gets an OTA update every week. Most changes are cosmetic, but typically includes substantive android security updates at least monthly.
- voltagex_ 10y agoInterestingly, my Mi4C never received OTA updates because there was a typo in "update.xiaomi.com" in the stock firmware.
- vayan 10y agoNot the case for Xiaomi... weekly updates
- matsimitsu 10y agoMy 1.5 year old Xiaomi Mi4i still gets weekly updates and has been since the launch, so that's not true. [edit] It also still holds a 2-day charge after all this time and for it's price (180 euro's) it has been my best phone purchase in years.
- leojg 10y agoI got a xiaomi redmi note 3 about a month ago and received two updates already, the second one is miui 8, I have 7.5 right now, but I won't update until I know is stable enougth I have had samsungs and motorolas, and updates were few and slow.
- gtvwill 10y agoYeah no software updates aye, I probably get a minor security fix once a fortnight and have had a major os upgrade within a week of my phone arriving (xiaomi redmi 3s). I have owned about 5 different China phones, thl had awesome build and occasionally update. Xiaomi has had the best update frequency tho.
- pjmlp 10y agoYes, because my other phones do receive updates regularly.....
