Xiaomi is still on the warpath with its next Xiaomi 15 expected to arrive in Europe in the coming months and with the Xiaomi Smart Band 9 Pro smart bracelet recently launched on the Spanish market. Now I would be ready to completely change the updates your phones receive and thus offer users new monthly firmware as Samsung and Google do.
This periodicity is due to security patches that Google releases monthly in order to close the way to certain vulnerabilities that an operating system like Android may present. This measure is very important to provide a secure system in which it is difficult to take advantage of a bug to inject malware or other types of malicious software.
Samsung has been offering these security patches for years, like the rest of the manufacturers, although Korean company usually does not go bankrupt every month to launch a new update that includes optimizations and solutions to bugs that can tarnish the user experience.
Google with its Pixel follows the same path and it is normal to receive these security updates, which they also use to inject new features as sometimes happens with the camera application on Samsung phones. Xiaomi, on the other hand, has not offered a similar experience and now it seems that it will strive to moving from updates every 90 days to updates every 30.
Also, according to 9to5Googlehas remained in four years of major Android updates unlike the two companies mentioned, therefore in support for its mobile phones, even high-end, it's a little behind Samsung itself. But now it looks like that will change according to Alvin T, vice president of Xiaomi.
We should be able to do monthly updates from 2025

As mentioned on its official account on X (formerly Twitter) through Mishaal Rahman, an Android expert, the company is reportedly ready to start offering monthly updates from next year.
It's not that it's a firm commitmentbut this is the first time that Xiaomi has opened the door to periodic updates for users of its mobile phones. Of course, Alvin T warns that he does not want to create false expectations, but it seems that the Xiaomi machine was already starting to provide this support and thus attack Google and Samsung mobiles.
For Xiaomi it is crucial to provide this type of support and even more so when it comes to directly Also known for its premium mobile phones with prices exceeding 1,000 dollars. It has been pursuing this goal for years and in 2025 it will take a new step to continue being one of the leading brands in the world.
