Xiaomi launched the Mi MIX Fold earlier this year as its first-ever foldable smartphone. It is also the company’s most-expensive commercial smartphone to date. However, the device has only received a few software updates so far and it may get even worse.
According to findings by Xiaomiui, the Mi MIX Fold may not receive any MUI updates hereafter. The MIUI Feedback app says that the handset now lacks OTA update support.
There’s another possible explanation. Xiaomi might introduce a new branch of MIUI for foldables in the future, as it did for tablets in the form of MIUI for Pad. Hence, it is currently listed with no OTA support for standard MIUI builds.
That being said, Xiaomiui has a history of wrong predictions. Therefore, this could turn out to be incorrect.
But we cannot rule out the possibility of no future updates either. That’s because the Mi MIX series has an unfortunate history of poor software support.
Anyway, for now, the Mi MIX Fold’s software situation is in a good state. Just recently, it received a system update with the longest changelog in MIUI history. This update brought changes to the software based on the feedback from actual users of the phone.
As Xiaomi appears to be dedicated to improving MIUI for foldables, we don’t think the company will suspend software support for the Mi MIX Fold.
