Mi 8 pro is 2 years old, has a snapdragon chip and is powerful enough not to take advantage of. My question is why has not anyone done that? There's next to no support for this device on XDA.
Here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-8-pro/development/rom-lineageos-17-1-xiaomi-mi-8-pro-t4114271
Compared to Pocophone and Mi 8, the Mi 8 Pro is really abandoned. And to make this 2018 line worse, it will prematurely lose Xiaomi support this year, receiving only security updates. The right thing would be to be abandoned on MIUI 14, but at most he will receive MIUI 12 running android 10. Lucky for those who bought the normal Mi 8, which will run up to android 15 thanks to the support for custom rom that he has. That is the price you pay for wanting to have an exclusive cell phone, in our case, the Mi 8 Pro. Honestly, my next cell phone will not be a Xiaomi, but a One Plus. Look at the One Plus 5, which was released with android 7.1 is officially receiving android 10! Xiaomi Mi 6 died on android 9 having launched at the same time as Op 5

**MIUI 8 Based On Nougat**
Earlier this week the company Xiaomi Released for flagship smartphone beta firmware MIUI 8 (build 6.12.8) on the basis of Android 7.0 Nougat for the Chinese region. Now the manufacturer has announced the global beta version 6.12.8 from multiple languages ??on official support for a larger number of devices, including Mi3, Mi4, Mi4i, Redmi 1S, Redmi 2, 2 redmi Prime, Redmi Note 2, Mi Max, Mi5S, Redmi note 3 and their variations. This means that the owners of these devices, if they had previously received MIUI 8, can now be downloaded from the official site Xiaomi latest firmware and install it.
Also note that for Xiaomi Mi5 global firmware based on Android 7.0 Nougat is currently only available to program participants of closed beta, but will soon be released to the public.
In the last week there was information that behind the flagship Xiaomi Mi5 manufacturer plans to start testing the firmware MIUI 8 based on Android 7.0 Nougat for smartphones 4C, 4S, Mi Note and Mi Max. And now, after only a few days, the company actually announced the start of closed testing Android 7.0 for the above devices. It is expected that, as in the case of the Xiaomi Mi5, closed beta test the new firmware for Xiaomi 4C, 4S, Mi Note, Mi Max and RN3 will last about a month, after which everyone will be able to test the update.
It is also worth noting that the situation is not yet clear with last year Xiaomi Mi Note. This device is based on a quad-core Snapdragon 801, which does not support Vulkan API in Android 7.0 Nougat. On this basis, Mi Note may eventually not get a stable version of Android 7.0, but this information is not officially confirmed.

Xiaomi is known for updating their mid-range phone's Android version, for only once. We already got a bump from 5.1.1 to 6.0.1. So, no more updates.
My old Mi4i was still on 5.0.2, not even 5.1.1.
Admit it, guys. Android versions don't really bring any changes to MIUI.
Yeah, but my RN3 was made in August and came with 6.0.1...but I know they will probably not release N for it, although its old Mi line is getting it. So better to go for Mi products than Redmi in future if I ever buy Xiaomi again...probably, because its still nice price/performance, but they started pricing new models too high and too many models to choose from. So no stable updatea...well they aim to use a smartphone for max one year
I plan on buying the Note 5 when it comes out in January. I know the Note 4 is updated with November patch, and also how good it is. But is Xiaomi supporting a device 2 years old ??? I need know if the phone I so eagerly want to buy well last nearly 2 years.
Any and all experiences shared are helpful.
Personally, i think not. Xiaomi doesn't respect the 2 years support for this device. It received MIUI 9, yes, but it was still based on Marshmallow, if they really care, they would have updated it to Nougat, like they did with their Mi counterpart (Xiaomi Mi Max)
You can grab note 5 if it doesn't come with SD 625 & probably equipped with 660.
Don't expect much from ****UI devs, XDA devs are always the best.
Only buy MI devices if you're low on budget & like ****UI irrespective of android version.
Just to remind everyone that I had started a petition for MIUI 12 (Android 10). Sign if you are instrested .
Nothing is certain except taxes, deaths, and Mi Pad series not to receive any major system update. The Mi pad 4 was launched with a Snapdragon 660 chipset (14nm). Nevertheless, this is not an excuse of it to not to update to android 10. It is evident that there are devices that have a lower level processor than the Snapdragon 660 like Snapdragon 625 on Mi A2 lite, which is on the roadmap of Xiaomi devices that will receive Android 10.
Yet, the support guy behind the screen rejected us for the second time for a newer android version (both 9 and 10), only supported by the aforementioned lame excuse which is evidence-lacking. We do not understand why Xiaomi ignored THE FULL MI PAD SERIES FOR ANY MAJOR UPDATES, WHICH IS AS SAME AS SAYING 'Don't ever try to buy Mi pad series as we will NOT provide any major update to your device.' How ridiculous is this? Even Huawei Tab M5 with 16nm chipset and lower clock speed had updated to Android 9. This force us to either stay on the ancient android Oreo, which was present on the significantly older and less powerful Mi 5 (2016) smartphone, or go to custom roms which requires quite an amount of computer knowledge and is very easy to brick your device with one click.
We only ask that you to push MIUI 12 based on Android 10 to Mi pad 4, which has the certain right to update to android 10. We are all going to sign this petition, not only the carriers of a Mi Pad 4, but also anyone which thinks their phone deserves a new operating system. We strongly demand Mi pad 4 to update to Android 10, globally and stably.

Hate to say it but the petitions are useless. I already signed one for Android 9 but you can see, nothing happens (except my mailbox getting bombarded by change.org). Besides, you can forget the global release because this is a chinese-only device.
xiaomi stop update after one year, they want poeples to buy new stuff..... but no mipad 5 for now

it is a treble device, so the old vendors can be unmodified and only modify the Google Offical GSI and theme it as Miui, right?
The thread was created and thinking that they share and add all the information they find about the update to MIUI 13 or Android 12 on the Xiaomi Mi 9, thinking to make a request if this does NOT change.
Why do I think Xiaomi does not plan to update the Xiaomi Mi 9?
Browsing in different news articles, analyzes, reviews investigating the Xiaomi phones that will update to Android 12 or failing that to MIUI 13 note that among the device lists there is not the Xiaomi Mi 9, in some they do include devices of its variants such as the Xiaomi Mi 9 Pro, Xiaomi Mi 9 Pro 5G and Xiaomi Mi 9 Explorer, but not the Xiaomi Mi 9, this information is anticipated, it may change, because of course being ancipated it may change, currently in Their update lists also include very lower-end devices such as the Redmi Note 9s and it will be updated with a Snapdragron 750G processor hardware that is well below our Xiaomi Mi 9 that has a Snapdragon 855 processor hardware if this is A final decision by Xiaomi to include the Redmi Note 9s device and its variants in its update list, but excluding our Xiaomi Mi 9 would be a too unfair decision and not so successful because no Our Xiaomi Mi 9 has a hardware almost equal to the Black Shark 3 Pro that has a Snapdragon 865 Hardware processor, another top of the range from Xiaomi ... So far there is no official information on the update of Xiaomi devices, they are still highly anticipated things, Android 12 has not been officially released on the Google Pixel (the first to receive the update), but we already have some ROMs such as Arrow OS 12 based on Android 12 AOSP, I think it is too fast and unfair if this is a decision final so that the Mi 9 is obsolete in terms of software, in a mobile that supports ultra graphics and high FPS in games like Fornite, PUBG: Mobile or Call Of Duty: Mobile, or high-end emulators ... we are in the flagship forum for custom ROMs, which adds support like six years later but this decision also affects how ROMs are created and the errors in them but it is always better to have the official version or, don't we think about that here? more in a high-low end mobile like the Xiaomi Mi 9, what do you say? Shall we create a petition on change.org? Do we write emails to Xiaomi reminding them of the update? Do we post notes to press on Xioami? Do we make requests at c.mi.com?
You tell me what you think Xiaomi does not want to update the Xiaomi Mi 9 at the moment and what you propose to do if Xiaomi does not update our device officially.
This phone is over 2 years old, meaning it's over its support period. Eventually it will be EOL on November 27th. Whatever comes after that, is a gift from Xiaomi, if any.
Damn that's hard to read

But we have the Snapdragon 855, PUBG: New State was released recently, it still runs with high graphics at more than 50fps, why are we going to run out of Android 12 update?

Unfortunately, it's not specs that matter, but time. When the device was released, there's already a deadline for how long the device will receive updates, be it base Android version, MIUI version or even just security patches. And until the recent 11T series announcement, it was 1-2 years only. Anything after that was always a bonus.
Redmi Note 8 and Redmi K20 join end-of-life product list of nine Xiaomi phones that go EOL in November
The Redmi Note 8, Redmi K20, and their Pro variants will join a list of nine Xiaomi smartphones that will become end-of-life (EOL) products in late November. While bug fixes and stable release updates may still be available for these phones, there will be no more beta development pursued for...

humm, I thought the same ... but we are already in 2021, it is boring to write in PLAIN TEXT, without DeCoRaTioNs, if you realize already almost all the pages are full of CSS, they are not spam pages, they are official sources about it developer Android 12 project.
i think we should make a request to xiaomi
our hardware is good enough .

Hello Mi Fans
I got reports about a behive link which is recruiting users. Actually its an old MIUI 12 recruitment link which is getting updated time to time when new devices launched.
Users who applied at the time of MIUI 12 and received mi pilot update for MIUI 12, will get mi pilot update for MIUI 13 too. They don't need to apply again.
This link is from MIUI 12 and still live to apply in recruitment. If we change anything in recruitment like criteria or link we will inform you via community. Kindly follow Community not the unofficial telegram channel, websites, groups or any unofficial social media account.
Link is given below of the thread where we started recruitment

Hello
We all "user of mi note 10 lite" notified that MIUI 14 in now available
But our phone will not receive this update officially
So i hope to find someone from the developers say that they are working to build eu.miui 14 for this phone
our note 10 lite certainly, despite being an excellent phone, is a colossal flop has a success of 1/8 of that of a redmi 7/8/9. probably due to the few specimens sold, no update of any type of rom, official or not of any type, has been achieved
never buying xiaomi again.
worst update policy ever.
