the updates pushed by MIUI team are just font size changes of the clock

or a new wall paper in the stock

or a new option on swipe right

They have sold millions of phones , ask them, on how many phones have they given

--- android version update.

i got my Mi4C in April 2016 and it has received several OTA android version update and monthly android security patches. there are certainly many insignificant UI changes, but there have been android updates occasionally in the last four months.

similar to what others have mentioned, the place where i purchased it added google apps in a way that prevented regular updates. once i re-flashed and reinstalled google apps, i've gotten updates every week
