Xiaomi has just announced that its upcoming Mi 11T and Mi 11T Pro will receive around “three generations” of Android OS updates, which also includes four years of security updates as well.

The Chinese tech giant shared the news on an official blog post earlier today (9th September 2021) on its official website. The Mi 11T series is set to be launched on September 15 and is the latest flagship series from the company. Apart from just announcing the four years of update for the two smartphones, the brand is also considering the possibility of bringing the extended Android OS and security updates to its other existing handsets as well.

Although, it is unlikely that the company would include its budget series of devices for the extended software support, but its flagship phones like the Mi 11 Pro and Mi 11 Ultra would most likely be eligible for the extended update cycle. Albert Shan, company’s head of product and technology, stated that “It is not a simple task for Xiaomi and its team to provide system updates and security patches to all of its previous smartphone models. However, the prospect of this challenge and meeting the desires of our customers is exciting.”

As of right now, South Korean giant Samsung is the only Android brand that gives four years of security update and three years of OS updates for its smartphone offerings. Similarly, OnePlus has also promised to provide four years of security updates, however, it is only limited to its premium grade flagships. For those unaware, the Mi 11T series is the latest Xiaomi budget flagship lineup that will offer top notch specs like Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 SoC and up to 120Hz fast charging support.

The FCC listing revealed a little information on its specs.

Last year, Xiaomi announced the Xiaomi Mi 10T and Mi 10T Pro affordable flagship phones in October, and both phones were made available for purchase in October. It appears that the company could be now gearing up to launch the Mi 11T series. The reason behind it is that the Mi 11T Pro has been certified by Thailand’s National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) today.

The NBTC listing confirms that the Xiaomi phone with model number 2107113SG will be heading to Thailand with the Xiaomi Mi 11T Pro moniker. This model number belongs to the global variant of the device. The listing does not reveal any of the major specs of the phone but confirms that it carries support for 5G connectivity.
