Why is this phone's support so terrible?
Those people who spent 750 bucks on this phone at launch is absurd to be treated unfairly by htc
A big part of HTCs Phone department was sold to Google. So they don't have the ressources to spend on a phone that sold maybe 10.000 times. It's real **** for those who spend so much and have to stick with not even the newest OS from 2016 in 2018. Since nobody writes about this phone they don't even have to worry about their reputation.
Fortunately most people bought it when it was cheap. So it's not a big loss.
I gave It back and bought a Xiaomi Mi A1.

Just be patience. Device is already running smooth on Nougat. Fast updates always comes with bugs. Let the dev make a good one till then wait
well, looks like it will be updated to oreo soon......

It is reported on a Taiwanese tech website that Oreo will land on U Ultra before the end of February: https://www.kocpc.com.tw/archives/182858
Translation: Among them, Android 8.0 was released on HTC U11 and HTC 10 in November last year. According to some very reliable sources, HTC U Ultra will receive Oreo update before the end of February this year, becoming the first smartphone to get Oreo update after Lunar New Year.
U ultra oreo update now
Just received the update via OTA.
Oreo installed and working smoothly.
It is sure that tissot will get Android P by end of 2k18. I am curious whether it will be lucky enough to get Q update being an Android one phone(software support is for three OS versions).
No, flash custom ROM and be happy.
We cannot tell for sure. Let's start the petition NOW and make it happen ?
No it wont.

But I saw on official android page that Android One phones get security updates for three years and OS updates for 2 years(i.e, Oct 2019). Q will launch in may next year so I am hopeful

Why do you say that? They already confirmed it for sure that they will release P.

First of all, Android Q will NEVER BUT EVER be released in May 2019. At the very best may be announced and some selected devices be granted with a developer preview (obviously Pixel devices). The final release to the public will yes, probably be in October 2019, but once again firstly for Pixels and then other high range phones. There is no way that Xiaomi will release Q on the fly right on October, and much less for our A1, when they have the A2 and (probably) an A3 by that date.

Since we have treble support(Unofficially)we can get developer preview once its released to pixel devices!
I flashed Custom ROM (Android Pie, LR) and using it as daily driver. Android P for Mi A1 officially is still a long way to go.
This is a catastrophic knowledge. While others are thinking about Android Q, we are not sure if we are going to get Android P.
really shame and injustice.

android p is confirmed for A1 -_-
I just want stock ROM to support the recording of videos at 30 FPS in low light conditions, without any mod or something like that. only that.
I would not mind when they release android P if not for that reason.

Where is the evidence of this?
Do you have any?
Why do you ask such things, if your statements aren't even well documented?
Have you seen any info from Xiaomi team about rethinking their decision about keeping MiA1 "un-trebled", switching their ideas just to take the funny P, carrying with all the process of repartitioning each device's drives, all inside of an update pack, with free support? → no matter which risks people would suffer if something just goes wrong with such update.
Xiaomi won't be riding such horse, when it is already running away.
In resume...
Mi A1 with Q, thanks to unofficial Treble process? Possible.
Mi A1 with P, thanks to official Xiaomi update? Keep dreaming.

Mi A1 with Q, unofficlaly possibly happening.
Mi A1 with P, thanks to official Xiaomi update IS HAPPENING.
Sources: Google guarantees two years of major software updates and three years of security updates. That's what Android One is. You can also see that everywhere.

Well... As I said...
Keep dreaming.
You said Google, I said Xiaomi.
Is there something Google would do to force Xiaomi to revert what they did just to get a P label?
...Horses ran away... Newer device's arrived...
Forget it, or dream it. Is the same.

Let me explain it another way :
When someone (in this case Xiaomi) is under a contract (think of the Android One Program as a contract), they (Xiaomi)
are by definition forced to obey some rules (2 years of major Software updates, and 3 years of security updates) set by the other party of the contract,
which in this case is Google. When you buy a device branded as an Android one device, then you are guaranteed those things, and that is why you got
the Android one device in the first place. For those reasons the Xiaomi Mi 5X IS NOT GUARANTEED ANY OF THE ABOVE since it is not an Android one device, despite being literally
the same device hardware-wise, it could never get Android P officially, and Xiaomi could stop providing security updates at any point.
EDIT: ALSO THIS ONE
Stay fresh over time
Mi A1 ships with Android Nougat, and will receive 2 years minimum of OS upgrades. And since Android One users are among the first to get new OS upgrades when they’re released, you’ll have access to the latest features and innovations even sooner.

I am not to keep having this pointless since you can't understand facts and things that are official, and also provided by Xiaomi themselves in the official website for the phone. Time will show you, what I keep explaining, and you keep not getting.

Prove what you said in bold or die. Give an evidence about this *truth* to make this fairy tale go real.

Treble is not needed for android P, so Xiaomi don't have to worry about treblizing Mi A1
The android 10 official update yet to rollout.
Other non android one phones have rolled out android 10 for their devices . It feels so bad Mi a2 being android one phone still have no any official announcement regarding that. Even they do not have any roadmap for the release.
The December 2019 security patch has rolled out leading with a major Chrome bug inside that.
Since October Google had pushed the update from their side, but xiaomi is taking a lot of time in rolling out the update.
Also their is no beta version rolled out for the same for android 10.
Kindly the senior devs please spread this post to xiaomi, so that they will look into this.
Thankyou.
That surely is the last Xiaomi device I'm going to ever buy. Completely disappointed. The main reason I picked this "Apple boldness" device is the Android one project, second the price. Now I know it was kind of a waste of money for what I wanted and needed from a smartphone. Even Samsung are rolling out Android 10 with a lot more of useful resources sooner, when not, they offer roadmaps and news about it. Putting aside its stable security patches releases even for A5 2017, month after month, my previous daily driver.
