With reports that the Redmi K60 Ultra is speculated to go global as the Xiaomi 13T/13T Pro soon, Xiaomi is making big promises to it when it comes to software. While its flagship phones get 3 major updates and 4 years of security updates, Xiaomi is making its software commitment even better on the Redmi K60 Ultra by promising 4 major updates and 5 years of security updates. This effectively matches what Samsung promises on its Galaxy S series and the majority of Galaxy A series devices.

This development makes Xiaomi the latest phone brand to have arguably one of the best software update commitments to death. This is a big deal considering that the Redmi K60 Ultra positions itself as a budget flagship/upper mid-range offering. The fact that Xiaomi made a dedicated post regarding this also gives us a hint that more Xiaomi devices–at least the brand’s flagship and upper mid-range offerings–will get the same level of commitment when it comes to software updates.

Since the Redmi K60 Ultra has been confirmed to get 5 years of software updates, we expect Xiaomi to give the same level of commitment to the Xiaomi 13T series when it goes official soon–after all, the Xiaomi 13T is expected to be identical to the Redmi K60 Ultra save for upgrades in the camera department.
