Gptech:

There's no card slot. For Xiaomi, miui update is the major updates, more important than Android updates most times. Since you are talking of the Mi A2, then it's no longer miui updates but Android updates, the Mi A1 is already on Pie, you can check when it was released.

thanks @ Gptech. one more thing. I'm stuck btw waiting for redmi note 7 pro or just buying the pocophone f1. heard the poco now has android pie and the more powerful sd 845 all for just 105k. note 7 pro might be more expensive when it's released

good evening guys. pls does the mi A2 global version have an sd card slot or not? cos gsm arena says it doesn't while jumia says it does. pls I'm not referring to the lite version o. and also how many major android updates does xiaomi give its phones. thanks in advance
