Timely updates remain the edge phones on Android One programs have over those running custom ROM. And even after it has been alleged that Xiaomi has abandoned the program, the updates haven’t stopped coming. Perhaps, there should be a timeframe before the supports finally stop, just like the days of Windows and Blackberry OS. The Mi A2 Lite is part of the Android One program and will stop receiving any form of support when the time comes. In the meantime, the July security patch update for Mi A2 Lite has just been released. It’s coming late this time, considering how…

Xiaomi launched the Redmi Note 8 Pro on August 29, 2019, and it will be exactly one year very soon since the device was released to the market. The device runs Mediatek Helio G90T SoC, which is the main driving force and is probably why the phone, even after all these months, still ranks third on best performing Android phones of July 2020.

And because the POCO F1 wasn’t sold in China, hence, it’s not among the device on closed beta testing in that region. The users have waited for the update for months, but it seems the time for the update to arrive is here. Meanwhile, a couple of days ago, beta testers were selected for the device. It…

Early today, we brought you a report about Xiaomi developing a new MIUI for its phones in India. In that post, we suggest the update to be based on MIUI 12, which will also see the update get to more devices faster, at least in that region. And why that might not be the case here, the company has now released a stable MIUI 12 for POCO X2 publicly.  That might have come as a shock to some people, given that there was no beta version before going public. However, recall the POCO X2 is a rebadged Redmi K30, which…
