However, this does not mean that Xiaomi does not deliver new updates for its devices regularly. The developers have revealed that the company’s internal rules are set so that Xiaomi wants to deliver 2 large operating system software, it means 2 Android updates and three major superstructure updates to each smartphone introduced. It means 3 updates of MIUI version.
