The world we have all been waiting for is coming. A few days ago, Xiaomi made it official that the new Redmi K60 Ultra is going to receive 4 years of Android updates and 5 years of security patches, thus joining the trend of other high-end brands. However, the previous model is not sold in Spain, although the Director of Communication of the company has confirmed that the new Xiaomi 13T You will also enjoy this advantage.
A piece of news that has caught everyone by surprise, but that we must be thankful for without a doubt. Mainly, because it has turned its new Xiaomi 13T series into the brand’s best sellers without a doubt and they have not yet reached the market. Have a long term android support allows users to enjoy the new features of the system for longer, thus ensuring that they do not have to change phones as often.
The Director of Communication of Xiaomi confirms it
This information does not come from any leaker or anything like that, but it has been Xiaomi’s Director of Communication, Daniel Desjarlais, who has confirmed the data. The leader has published it on his Twitter / X account, noting that both the Xiaomi 13T as the Xiaomi 13T Prothey will have Android updates for 4 years and security patches for 5 years.

This becomes one of the great purchase incentives of the brand’s next launch along with a camera system from Leica. Two key features that are going to popularize Xiaomi’s high-end economic ranges extremely.
Taking into account that both phones are going to be launched with MIUI 14 based on Android 13, the latest update to Google’s operating system, both would reach reach version MIUI 18 and Android 17, which should arrive in the year 2027, while they will remain safe with security updates until 2028. In addition, it is also confirmed that the presentation event for the new line of Xiaomi 13T smartphones will take place on September 26 in Germanyso there is practically nothing left for them to arrive in Spain.
Not only the Xiaomi 13T
The first to join the trend was the Redmi K60 Ultra a few days ago and now it has been the turn of the Xiaomi 13T and its Pro version. This has led users to think about whether this measure is going to be extrapolated to the rest of the new Xiaomi phones that are coming in 2024, although it would not apply to each and every model. We remember that Xiaomi has joined Samsung and Google in the group of select brands that promise long-term updates for 4 years, but the latter two do not carry this condition to each and every one of their devices.
We assume that Xiaomi will repeat this strategy and that only the smartphones between the premium mid-range and the high-end They will enjoy this virtue. So it is likely that the Redmi Note series will not be affected by this change, although it would not be surprising if they did with next year’s Redmi Note 13 Pro + model as it is a phone that borders on premium Olympus. What is clear is that the Chinese company wants to win with its new release and we are sure that the Xiaomi 13T will sell like crazy with this important change.
