The company actually skipped Android 12 to deliver Android 13 due to all that “build the BSP yourself” work. Monthly security updates probably don’t arrive all that regularly either.
Updating may very well brick your phone.(orcauseotherunpredictableissues) So I am staying with MIUI 12.5.5 and 01/01/2022 security patch. But it’s also known to randomly brick itself due to motherboard issues, so there’s that.
Yep. 7 years of updates is not worth a lot functionally if the updates are months or years behind. Almost as bad as them not getting them to begin with.
My last android phone was the Xiaomi Mi A1, supposed to 3 years support under Android One. The updates were delayed and it was a very bad experience overall, imo.
This is what made me leave android for iOS, just tired of having to change phones every 1-2 years and having several issues like the above.
This might be a dealbreaker for many people.
