Xiaomi 13T and 13T Pro will receive software support for a long time
Xiaomi’s Communications Director Daniel Desjarlais announced in his post on X that Xiaomi 13T and Xiaomi 13T Pro will receive four Android software update versions and five years of security update support. Therefore, if the Xiaomi 13T duo comes out of the box with the pre-installed Android 13 operating system, it will receive Android 14, 15, 16 and 17 operating system versions.
Extended software update allows users to stay connected to their devices for a long time. The Chinese brand is not generally known for longer software support, but it looks like this is starting to change with Xiaomi. However, it is necessary not only to offer update support, but also to provide them quickly. Xiaomi needs to improve itself in this area as well.
On the other hand, we will see in the coming days whether longer software support will be offered for other devices in Xiaomi’s portfolio. Samsung, which currently offers the longest update support, is the leader in this field. However, it is stated that Google aims to offer five-year operating system updates with the new Pixel 8s.
