Xiaomi Mi 6 Android Pie update
- Pie update under consideration
While we know the Mi 6 is eligible for an update to Android Pie, Xiaomi has started playing some funny games. The company recently hinted that the Mi 6 won’t be updated to Pie since the current MIUI 10 already packs plenty of Pie-inspired features and as a result, they would rather direct the time and resources they would have spent on updating the Mi 6 to Pie on something else.
But after a supposed uproar among fans, the company is once again considering developing a Pie update for the Mi 6, although we still don’t know what their final stance is on this matter.
