Currently using redmi plus 5. CIMB app would no longer work with Android 8. My online transaction is limited to RM 100 max without the app.

I'm currently looking at redmi 11 as it use Snapdragon. The other two non 5g variant uses MediaTek.

When I shop for phone before, MediaTek devices are slow to get updates or don't get updates at all. Is this still true nowadays? I might prefer the note variant if MediaTek device get updates.

Since this is a long term purchase, I wonder if I should get a 5G device. I'm looking at maybe 4 or 5 years before next purchase and I don't believe 4G will be gone before that.

Should I wait until Redmi 12 is released in Malaysia? I don't know about when it would be released.
