Xiaomi has greatly improved its software update policy in recent years. It had long offered a maximum of three Android OS updates to its devices, which extended to four in late 2023, starting with the Xiaomi 13T series. The update policy was once again upgraded earlier this year to offer up to five major Android updates to select devices.
We’ve prepared a list of Xiaomi devices that are covered under this updated software policy, which promises five generations of Android updates. Review the list below to find out if your Xiaomi device is eligible for long-term OS updates.
These Xiaomi devices will get five major Android OS updates
- Xiaomi 15T Pro (last update: Android 20)
- Redmi Pad 2 Pro (last update: Android 20)
- Redmi Pad 2 (last update: Android 20)
- Redmi Pad 2 4G (last update: Android 20)
The Redmi Pad 2 and Redmi Pad 2 4G were the company’s first phones to offer support for five major OS updates. The Redmi Pad 2 Pro and Xiaomi 15T Pro joined the list in September.
While Redmi Pad 2 Pro and Xiaomi 15T Pro users might find themselves lucky to be on the list, it’s disappointing that the devices launched in September 2025 with Android 15, not Android 16. That means all the devices on the above list will receive OS updates up to Android 20.
Only a few Xiaomi devices are currently covered under this new update policy. It’s likely that the majority, if not all, of upcoming high-end phones and tablets from the brand will also receive the same treat. Anyway, we’ll regularly update the list as and when more Xiaomi devices are announced, with a promise of five major Android updates.
With the latest software update policy, Xiaomi outperforms many of its competitors, including OnePlus, Vivo, and Realme, which are currently stuck with four Android updates, while matching Oppo and Motorola. Samsung and Google are currently leading the chart with seven years of both Android and security updates. Xiaomi will hopefully bridge the gap in the near future.
