Xiaomi, the Chinese consumer electronics maker, unveiled its Pad 6 tablet device last year back in the month of April 2023. Recent reports have been pointing to a change in the tablet’s update policy, suggesting that this tablet will only receive the Android 14 update and not Android 15, unlike what was said before.
A new update from a tipster on the Twitter/X platform has arrived which claims that the device will also be receiving the Android 15 update, as was promised.
Here’s more about it.
Xiaomi Pad 6 – Android 15 Update
The vanilla Xiaomi Pad 6 tablet was initially launched with the Android 13 based MIUI Pad 14 and at first was revealed to receive two major OS updates – Android 14 and Android 15. However, a noted change in the brand’s official website mentioned only the Android 14 update eligibility, and this led to doubts regarding whether the device was made ineligible for the Android 15 update.
As per the new update, a tipster has shared that the brand confirms that the Xiaomi Pad 6 will be receiving the Android 15 update as was promised to customers. In related news, it has also been reported that the AER or Android Enterprise Recommended devices will be affected by the change, and the Xiaomi Pad 6 tablet used by enterprises will not get the Android 15 update.
