MIUI 15 Update Tracker: Will Your Xiaomi, Redmi or Poco Phone Get The Update?

Xiaomi is infamous for not updating its devices under various brands to the latest Android versions. But the company provides long-term software support for its devices through MIUI version updates. So will your Xiaomi, Redmi, and Poco phones get MIUI 15 update or not? Let’s check!

Xiaomi has already announced the arrival of the next version of MIUI, MIUI 15, at an event held in China in early August. The company even revealed the logo of the latest iteration of its Android skin at the event. Take a look at the logo of MIUI 15:

Xiaomi hasn’t announced anything specific about the next version of MIUI at this event, but this event suggests that the company is actively working on MIUI 15!

This article tracks the MIUI 15 update for Xiaomi, Redmi, and Poco smartphones. Find your phone in the list to know the MIUI 15 update status for your phone.

MIUI & Android Versions

Xiaomi is infamous for not providing Android version updates for their phones, be it branded Xiaomi, Redmi, or Poco. But the Chinese company issues MIUI version updates for more extended periods of time and is even known for providing support for many older phones.

This is because, unlike other manufacturers, whose software skin’s version is tied to Android, Xiaomi’s MIUI version isn’t tied to the Android version. For example, you’d only see OxygenOS 13 based on Android 13 on OnePlus devices. Similarly, OneUI 5 version is based on Android 13, and you won’t see OneUI 5 based on Android 12 generally on Samsung devices. But with Xiaomi phones, you could see MIUI 14 based on Android 13 on most devices such as Redmi Note 12 Pro, Xiaomi 13 Pro, and more, but you will also see Poco X4 Pro with MIUI 14 based on Android 12. 

This means that Xiaomi will provide MIUI updates for most of its phones for extended periods, even though those same devices won’t get updated Android versions. Many devices will get MIUI 15 based on Android 13 as an update, which might or might be updated to Android 14. 

MIUI 15 Release Date

The previous version of MIUI, MIUI 14, was unveiled in China in December 2022. But it was the Chinese version of MIUI 14, and the global version of MIUI 14 was revealed later in February 2023 at the MWC 2023 event. This was shortly followed by India-specific MIUI 14 release as well. 

We can also expect a similar launch schedule for MIUI 15, with the skin getting a Chinese version first, which could launch by the end of this year. This will be followed by the global version and Indian version releases by early 2024. 

Xiaomi Update Policy

Xiaomi doesn’t promise software updates and security patches for most of its devices, except its premium smartphones. 

Xiaomi has an EOS product list on its website, which it regularly publishes the devices reaching their End of Service period. We can deduct an unofficial Xiaomi update policy for Xiaomi, Redmi, and Poco devices from this list, as stated below:
