Recently all kinds of Xiaomi mi5 news released on different websites, though it is not officially released by the Xiaomi office, so what do you expect the Xiaomi Mi5 specification to be?
Xiaomi Mi5 will be great
I just read an article for Xiaomi Mi5 and it has a lot of good stuff for a low price.
Yeah to bad they still rely on their services and openly violate the GPL.
Hope things change so they will be able. To sell them in the US
Hello, we are drvsbsm and she is Sarah we are visitors of the Axon 7 Mini Community we have endured endless setbacks for many months trying to at least get our Axon 7 Mini’s rooted, we would love to have what you have been able to do but ZTE will not help us, they say they are thinking about letting us unlock our bootloaders, but we cannot trust them as they have been saying this for months and that is why I have come here with a question from our forum members to ask for anyone with experience to help us with the Axon 7 Mini we would be very grateful. We don’t believe ZTE because they won’t even give us any help in our discoveries. We would enjoy just to have root access and if our Bootloader could become unlockable we could finally feel like our device is finally ours. We have put in many months of work at the forums and we wish it would have meant something more, we do not have the developers with the experience that you have with the Axon 7. I don't usually do this as you can see by my post count and my thanks for helping others I usually help other people when they are in need, but this time we as your XDA Brothers are in need. The only ZTE device that ZTE has let us unlock the bootloader was the Axon 7, if we can’t get them to continue to let us unlock future ZTE devices we most likely won’t get to again, hopefully we can convince them now that they are better off with an open community, they can ask OnePlus about that. Ask yourself why would they not let us unlock the bootloader on the Axon 7 Mini, I can’t figure that out especially when they let you unlock the Axon 7. The Axon 7 Mini is an incredible device that has a lot of untapped potential.
Very few people know about this but over a year ago I owned the Original “ZTE Axon Pro” they also then had another device called the “ZTE Axon” it was their non-pro version and they would not let us root or unlock that device either it was basically the same as the Axon 7 and the Axon 7 Mini but they would not help the regular or the pro version. That phone was $400 and the regular Axon was $300 the “ZTE Axon Pro” was their flagship device last year I had one for 6 months, it had a Snapdragon 810 in it and the battery life was terrible. So, I sold it for $180.
I’m pretty sure that ZTE won’t help us Axon 7 Mini users to unlock or root our devices. So, we at the Axon 7 Mini forums are asking for your help maybe with your developers and experience you will be the one who unlocks the code we have been trying so hard to do. I came here because I thought that we were the XDA community and our Developers could do whatever we wanted if we stuck together and tried hard enough.
Hopefully you will help us in anyway that you can. I heard there was a ZTE forum, I will visit there next maybe someone could spread the word for us Axon 7 mini friends, I would appreciate it a lot. thank you. If anyone can do this they would be a hero in our minds, if not the Axon 7 Mini will have a very short life cycle and ZTE are not at all innocent. I will continue to do what I can, I may visit this ZTE forum to speak on our behalf, I won’t even say the word ZTE anymore its AXON 7 and Axon 7 Mini to me from now on, but I'm also in the middle of learning to root and rom my Oneplus 3T, but I will not give up on the Axon 7 Mini just yet, even though it has been 6 months of no forward progress.
We need the Axon 7 Developers if they think they are up for the challenge if they could at least get our devices rooted, or would that be too hard for them also? Please Ask the Axon Developers in this Forum to please help in the spirit that XDA-Developers has become such a special place for everyone who has a problem with their phones to help and to get help.
Find us here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7-mini Please come anyone is invited hopefully a really good developer will find his way over to us and our forums, that would be great could you imagine what they could do with our phone they would be the king of our community if they got it rooted and the bootloader unlocked. I admit they would have to be pretty good of a developer because we had our own few good developers looking at the Axon 7 Mini for months and they didn’t come up with anything maybe we should not think that anyone can do this.
Here are the specs to our Axon-7-Mini if anyone here are familiar I’m going to show them.
The Specs of The - ZTE Axon 7 Mini
The ZTE Axon 7 Mini was announced in September 2016. It is an entry level version of ZTE's 2016 flagship Axon 7. It features a 5.2" 1080p AMOLED display, Qualcomm Octa-Core Snapdragon 617 chipset, 3GB RAM and 32GB of UFS 2.0 internal storage. The rear camera has a 16MP sensor with f/1.9 aperture and phase detection autofocus, while the front has an 8MP sensor and f/2.2 aperture. The ZTE Axon 7 Mini is powered by a 2705mAh battery with Quick Charge 2.0, and comes with a USB Type-C port.
It is basically the same as your phone but of course it is a Mini version it is really nice but it is missing one very important thing, Root Privileges and an Unlocked Bootloader. Developers of these forums if you wish for a challenge and you are not busy and you think you can possibly do the job please have a try at it whenever you are ready. Do you think it is that they don’t have the phone to work on we would have to get a very well respected developer a phone to work on but I think we could do that? Please Axon 7 forum members Please come see us. https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7-mini
Hello, i would like to ask huawei users if they suggest me to buy honor 9 or better go to another phone?
- What i noticed from the forums that there are a lot of bugs and issues people are having with honor 9, and waiting for updates to fix them.
- Also, comparing it to other brands like samsung or lg, the forum doesn't have much support of devs, in terms of customs roms or fixes in case of issues ?
- Also so many people are reporting the customer support/service, is really bad compared to other brands? and hard to find how to repair a huawei phone ? is it true?
I m actually thinking of S8, so please, can you tell me about your experience and opinion?
Well i have a honor 9 and I'm happy with it. But the galaxy s8 is obviously way better in every single point
Biggest drawback of Vivo mobile devices are its lack of system (Android and Funtouch bug fixes) and security updates OTA delivery compare to other brands (Realme, MI, Samsung,..)
Is there anything we can do to **PUSH** Vivo to make them accountable to provide better and faster software updates????
Due to this Vivo devices gets out dated too soon in market... And you end up looking for another brand device.
Unfortunately, Vivo does not realise this hampers there own brand value.
Thia was one of the biggest reason I moved away / refrain buying Huawei and specially Lenovo, LG, Motorola phones as all of them had very poor after sale software update Frequency..

I did some more research and seems Funtouch has improved a lot in terms of experience and ease of usage. Still require some quirks clean-up
However, X50 and X50 pro updates were very slow
So, if you buy Vivo's latest and greatest phone running on Funtouch or Android 11 there is no guarantee you will get Android 12 ( or on time). I couldn't find, on Vivo official site update release plan list anywhere.
Also what is the story of Origin OS ?? How Vivo's development team focusing on improving Funtouch or Origin OS??

Funtouch is developed for non Chinese market (stock based)
OriginOS is only for chinese devices
Funtouch global is more updated then chinese one. X51 (european version of X50 Pro) is on Android 11 from december and has March patches
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
https://c.mi.com/thread-3719103-1-0.html
And direct link for applying is
