Does Xiaomi provide updates for their Android One phones with little delay?

[WillianRBR]

I've received my A2 Lite last week, it's a great phone overall.

Has Xiaomi been fast with the updates for their Mi A1 and A2/Lite phones?
Can I expect Security patches in a timely manner?


This is my first ever Mi phone, after being a Motorola user since 2013.

I don't know for A1 and A2, but A2 lite receive the security update each month, in the last 10 days.

Thanks. It looks like the security patches come out at every 15th or 16th day of every month.

I asked because Motorola takes several months just to release a single patch. Nice to see this is not the case with Xiaomi.

Hi!

Question: Xiaomi guarantees updates for up to two years for Android versions?

Motorola, for example, confirms 2 system updates and at least 6 months of security updates for the Moto X4, which is also part of Android One.

I'm asking because I want to buy a device with Android One like Mi A2 Lite.

Pixel is very expensive to bring to my country and I would Android as pure as possible. In other hand, Moto X4 have little problems like camera focus and internal memory.

Almost everywhere I read about A2/Lite, they write that 2 years guaranteed OS updates + 3 years security updates, but does xiaomi conform to this? Are there any guidelines made by google that must be followed? (idk, for example all android one phones must receive security patch until end of given month, etc, etc..) Or are those numbers just assumption..

AFAIK all android one phones are handled by Google so 2 years software updates an 2 or 3 years security updates

So if I understood, Mi A2 Lite will receive Android updates up to 2020 - Android 11 "R" - and security patches up to 2022 more or less?
Thanks in advance!
