This software program replace promise for the earlier technology of the corporate’s ‘flagship killer’ sequence was three main OS updates and 4 years of safety patches with the 12T and 12T Professional final yr, so we’re seeing a one-update and one-year improve this time round.
Xiaomi can also be, with this transfer, matching Samsung, however there are reasonably essential caveats to say. The Korean firm points month-to-month safety updates for all of its high-end gadgets, whereas Xiaomi sends one out each two months – and there is no purpose for us to consider that may change for the 13T and 13T Professional.
Additionally, the primary main improve will likely be Android 14, so these will solely be coated till Android 17. Had they launched a couple of months later with Android 14 on board, and the identical replace promise, they’d have made it to Android 18. All that stated, it is nice to see extra Android machine makers prolong their software program help home windows, even when it is just for particular gadgets like on this case.
