The Xiaomi Mi A1 was released back in 2017 and has received the two major updates it was promised. According to a new report, though, the device could get a third OS update that will see it enjoy Android Q and all the features it brings when it's released later in the year.

On Xiaomi's website, it's clearly mentioned "Mi A1 ships with Android Nougat, and will receive 2 YEARS minimum of OS upgrades."
2 years = Sep '17 to Sep '19
So if Q launches before Sep '19, A1 must get it.

Good catch, but I think "2 years" generally means two iterations. Fingers crossed, though.

2 years literally means 24 months, I've seen a lot of people claiming that it's actually 2 updates but this absurd 2 updates rule is not mentioned officially anywhere.
On Google's own website it is mentioned that the Pixel 3a launched this month will be supported minimum till May 2022 (exactly 3 years and not 3 updates) -

Hence in case of A1 also, Sep '17 to Sep '19
