- Xiaomi has announced that the Redmi K60 Extreme Edition in China is the first phone with a longer software update promise.
- This phone is being promised four Android version upgrades and five years of security updates.
- We’ve contacted Xiaomi to clarify whether this new update policy will be extended to other phones globally.
Xiaomi is best known for making excellent Android flagships and even better budget Android devices. I use the Xiaomi 13 Pro as my daily driver, and that is despite also owning other flagships like the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. Samsung made a strong flagship with the Galaxy S23 series, and Xiaomi does fall behind when it comes to update promises. But Xiaomi intends to catch up here with the Redmi K60 Extreme Edition (aka the Xiaomi 13T Pro).
As announced by Redmi’s official profile on Weibo, the upcoming Redmi K60 Extreme Edition is the first Xiaomi phone to promise four generations of Android updates and five years of security updates. The phone is also going to be the first in line for MIUI 15.
