Mi Note PRO. Do you remember for how long we had to wait for Android 5.1? Oh yeah, exactly, very very long. And Android 6? Our device with non-Chinese ROM has never had this version of Android. And let's remind that Android 6 is now quite old os and nearly all modern phones have it. Now they suspended Mi Note PRO for absolutely incredible long time from updates saying that they have to prepare the Android 7 update. It is not that difficult to count one and one....
I do not understand you story. You mad at Xiaomi or at Xiaomi.eu?
From all the China-phones that I know, Xiaomi is the only one with regular updates (per week even). Their security and functionality improvements go on every week. No one needs to beg for an update, it's coming weekly. Android versions are always a big think for phone companies. Samsung rarely changes Android versions for their devices, same for Huawei, HTC, Sony and all the others. Ever tried a Ecoo, iOcean, iNew or another random Chinese brand? Those companies aren't well known for they updates..
Although I also realy want a new Android because..new, I also understand that that changes a lot in the environment and requires a lot of testing (=money). I till now I am fine with the update-process they have now.
Whenever I see people ask questions and get cheeky of bullshit answers here on this forum, they get these bullshit answers because of the following:
- no own effort before posting (how to root redmi 4?)
- answer to their question is in the first post (where's redmi 4 rom?)
- question already asked a million times, with same amount of answers. (Does OTA work?)
- Wrong forum (please fix bug with touch screen on Redmi 4)
Xiaomi.eu just translates and Westernizes the ROM. It's like a professional hobby group. Nothing more. There is no responsibility in that, ever. If they all quit tomorrow and close the website we can only be thankful for the time it did work.
Everything about the updates, Android version, should all be directed to the official MIUI-forums.
