Why this petition matters

Started by Jeremy Chu

'Nothing is certain except taxes, deaths, and Mi Pad series not to receive any major system update.'Xiaomi said, not orally, but by their physical reaction. The Mi Pad 4 and it's 10.1 inch sibling Mi Pad 4 plus was launched with a Snapdragon 660 chipset (14nm). Nevertheless, this is not close to be an excuse of Xiaomi to not to update to Android 10. It is evident that there are devices that have a processor with weaker processing power than the Snapdragon 660 like Snapdragon 625 on Mi A2 lite, which is on the roadmap of Xiaomi devices that will receive Android 10. This indicates the update policy of Xiaomi is clearly biased.

Yet, the support guy behind the screen rejected us for the second time for a newer android version (both 9 and 10), only supported by the aforementioned lame excuse which is evidence-lacking. We do not understand why Xiaomi ignored the full Mi Pad Series for any major android updates, which is same as saying  'Don't ever try to buy Mi Pad series as we will not provide any major update to your device.' How ridiculous is this? Even Huawei, the competitor of Xiaomi, updated their Tab M5 powered by a legacy 16nm chipset (Kirin 960) with lower clock speed than Snapdragon 660 to Android 9. This force us to either stay on the ancient Android Oreo, which was present on the significantly older and less powerful Mi 5 (2016) smartphone, or go to custom roms which requires quite an amount of computer knowledge and is very easy to brick your device with one click. We do not know why the 2.5 year old Mi Pad 4 are treated by the same OS as a half decade old Mi 5. It is certainly unfair for Xiaomi to force us stay on Oreo same as the old Mi 5.

We only ask that you to push MIUI 12 based on Android 10 to Mi Pad 4, which has the certain right to update to Android 10. We are all going to sign this petition, not only the users of a Mi Pad 4, but also anyone which thinks their phone, or tablet, deserves and has more than enough potential to update to a new version of operating system. We strongly demand Mi Pad 4 to update to Android 10, globally and stably.
