Most of the Xiaomi users are completely ignorant that their phone Has a separate update for the Bluetooth module alongside the regular system update.

Xiaomi has created a unique independent update mechanism specifically for its Bluetooth stack so that this important component can receive updates and patches whenever necessary without having to go for a full system update.
