Xiaomi Mi 5s Plus was launched along with the younger brother Mi 5s and both the devices entered the market with a solid specs sheet and a familiar design. Both of these devices were well received in the market and we hope the company will keep them updated for a decent amount of time with a proper software support.

Talking about the updates, as of now, Xiaomi has not confirmed about any of their smartphones receiving the Android Oreo update. However, considering the fact that the company is currently rolling out MIUI 9 update which is based on Android 7.0 Nougat, we believe that the new Oreo update is going to take a while and the Mi 5s Plus is also no exception in this case.

Meanwhile, if you are curious to install a third party custom ROM and enjoy the stock Android UI, then the LineageOS is your best bet. In fact, the LineageOS 15.0 is also available for both the Mi 5s as well as the Mi 5s Plus. We have already covered a detailed guide to help you install the LineageOS 15.0 on Mi 5s.

As mentioned earlier, the LineageOS 15.0 is based on Android 8.0 OS and it brings all the new features to the table, allowing the users to experience them without having to wait for an official update from the manufacturer.

Do make a note that this is not an official update and hence be ready to face a few bugs.
