I check every once in a while if there is any update available but to date there is none. Just wondering if it has something with the location. Btw, I'm from Philippines. Thank you in advance!

I am definitely looking forward to more Xiaomi devices in the future.

In Indonesua poco f3 update was already 12.5.5 global version with oct 2021 security patch. The system apps uodater was dark mode. The camera was still lacking but i used gCam from https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/perfect-gcam-for-poco-f3.4326991/
And it worked perfectly even on dark places without turning on the night mode.

Did you know that Realme and Redmi offer the best phones ... moreI know Realme offers good value but I just don't have good experience with the brand. Maybe just my bad luck that both my Realme 5i and 6 suffered from issues, but I am not trying my luck for 3rd time in the foreseeable future.
Regarding Xiaomi, the phones I owned were Redmi Note 8 and Mi 9T. I used the Redmi for a couple of months before passing it to a relative. Later got the Mi 9T to complement my main at the time LG V35. Both phones still in service within my family.
I like to add that both Xiaomi phones are reliable hardware-wise for me. Software-wise, they are a bit laggy out of the box. Subsequent OTA updates did improve the user experience considerably that I decided to keep the phones.
As for the Samsung A52, I would never pay retail price for one. Mine is a 2 months old used A52 8/256 I got for less about US$210. Not looking for a new phone at the time, but got tempted because the A52 is in mint condition complete with original box and accessories plus 10 months warranty. It replaced my LG as my main phone now.

Did you know that Realme and Redmi offer the best phones available at that budget price?
Samsung and other company phones are horrible in that price range.

Keep telling yourself that Xiaomi high end smartphones are laggy and miui is worse on them because of ads and bloatware, when you yourself are stuck on some budget Redmi device.
You accused me of being a shill based on your terrible experience with miui on entry level device?? Lol next time... Pay a little more if you want premium experience.

When in reality, none of your family members has even touched a MI flagship from the past two years.

Mr.Polska, 18 Nov 2021Typing this from a Realme 6 4/64, and after almost 2 years ... moreLucky you, I guess. I am not seeing myself getting another Realme phone in the near future after bad experience with the Realme 5i and 6. Oh yeah, I checked with the friend who bought my Realme 6 and he said it is still not getting Android 11 despite Realme rolled out the update on Sep 2021.
Many people here said MIUI is bad but my own experience with Mi 9T has been pretty good. Phone got smoother overall after updated to MIUI 12 and battery life still able to reach around 8 hours SoT despite 2 years of use (89% capacity according to Accubattery). MIUI 11 was worse in my opinion with UI stutters and lagginess. Still waiting for the Mi 9T to get 12.5 Enhanced.

Overall performance is fine but online streaming like Amazon prime won't stream in full hd.
Camera is also not great performance.

Actually got the 6 as add-on replacement for the 5i. Sorry to say, but I have no more courage to own any Realme phones after the bad experience.
I am happy with a Samsung A52 as my main now and a Mi 9T as second phone. The Mi 9T is noticeably smoother and less buggy on MIUI 12 now than when new with MIUI 10, so my experience with MIUI also differs from yours. Cheers

Didn't you say in previous posts that the miui experience is same on flagships. Clearly no one in your family has used flagships yet you want to pass judgements??
