Redmi K60 Ultra debuted earlier this month and it is by far the most premium smartphone from the Xiaomi sub-brand. It brings a powerful processor, an immersive display, and is even IP68-rated for dust and water resistance. Not just hardware, Xiaomi has also made sure to give the device top-notch software support. Redmi K60 Ultra will receive 5 years of updates and 4 major OS releases.

Xiaomi is not typically known for its long software support, but the company is stepping up its game with the new Redmi K60 Ultra. The phone will be the first in Xiaomi’s lineup to receive four major Android updates and five years of security patches. The Redmi K60 Ultra has also been added to the first batch of devices eligible for the MIUI 15 update, meaning it will be one of the first Xiaomi phones to receive the latest software.

The Redmi K60 Ultra is currently only available in China, and the software update promise is also limited to the country. However, the phone is rumored to be launched globally as the Xiaomi 13T Pro. If this is true, the company could extend the update promise to the international market as well.

Longer software support is always appreciated and we give Xiaomi a thumbs up for taking this step. However, we also hope that the company will improve its update delivery pace. After all, what good is a long software support promise if users have to wait months or even years to receive updates?

The Redmi K60 Ultra is a smartphone that punches well above its weight. As we noted in our hands-on, it is not the best phone out there, but it is unbeatable at its price point.
