In addition to MIUI updates, keeping the Android basics fresh is also a big requirement, not to mention ongoing Android security patching. An Android base update doesn't always bring as much change as MIUI. Because Xiaomi builds new features into its system before Google does. But we have a list of what might get the Android 12 update.
Android 12 brings many new features compared to the previous version, but not on the surface, but under the hood. There's a greater focus on privacy, making it easier and more accurate for users to keep track of their apps' activities and permissions.
Xiaomi also considers it important to keep expanding the base, although this is not so visible here at home, the on stable systems updated every few months. On the other hand, the weekly updates always have the latest! Now! But which phones can get the latest Android base?
