[Updated] Xiaomi Mi MIX 2 Android 10 update not on cards, MIUI 12 should be coming though

This story is being continuously updated…. New updates are being added at the bottom…..

Original story (published on May 25) follows:

Xiaomi’s Mi MIX series remains iconic for being one of the pioneers of the so-called bezel-less era of smartphones. The first came out in late 2017 and a year down the line came the Mi MIX 2.

Powered by Android 7.1.1 Nougat out of the box souped up by the company’s MIUI 8, the Mi MIX 2 now sits on MIUI 11 based on Android Pie.

While there is still at least one more MIUI update to come, do not expect the Mi MIX 2 Android 10 update to materialize. Having received its promised two OS upgrades, there is no more room for Android 10 for Mi MIX 2 owners, at least not officially.

Going forward, all device owners can expect security updates alongside the much-awaited MIUI 12 update. Xiaomi has already confirmed this by including the Mi MIX 2 in its MIUI 12 roadmap (phase 2) that is expected to begin in July 2020.

When it arrives, the Mi MIX 2 MIUI 12 update is expected to bundle a handful of Android 11-related features, you know, just like MIUI 11 came with a few Android 10-related features. However, the base OS will remain at Android Pie.

For those willing to go the extra mile, you can expect plenty of Android 10-based custom ROMs to show up on forums like XDA Developers. Heck, you can even be sure that unofficial Mi MIX 2 Android 11 updates will be available at some point.

The update to Android 10 for Mi MIX2 is now available via the Pixel Experience custom ROM. Head here for more details.

We have compiled a pair of device lists that have received the Xiaomi Android 10 update and those we expect to pick up the next Xiaomi Android 11 update. Feel free to check them out.
