one of the most important data is missing everywhere, namely the number of OS upgrades, it would certainly help people who don't want to end up like me, who buy an expensive Xiaomi MI9T pro and in 2 years the security update will end, not to mention the OS upgrade!!! and I buried it in 2019 and on 21-06, not even a single update...
It probably won't be important for this Chinese version, but in the global versions Xiaomi gives 4-5 years, depending on the model. There was a time when they did an update only for 2 years and it was just for these old models. The new Xiaomi 14s, for example, have promised updates for 5 years.
