Does this have the monthly security updates that are pushed out by google?

No update to Android 7. There's a lot of good phones and phablets around for a steal just now but just be aware you'll be stuck on Android 6.0.1 at best because they don't possess a chipset recognized by Google as sufficiently able to secure the phone to Android 7's strict demands. Nothing wrong Android 6.0.1 though - Android 7 appears to the user to be very similar on the devices I've seen it installed on - but no more android security patches means a year down the line you'll be open to attacks you otherwise wouldn't be, as rare as "attacks" on Android phones are atm. This is a bad time to buy a new phone if you want to run Android 7 on it - 7.1.1 is already running unofficially on many devices already - but is very buggy. If you're happy enough with 6.0.1 it's a great time to buy a new one. I really want a new phone but am gonna hang on until android 7 is more stable and get one with it pre installed and with guaranteed updates for at least two years.

The Xiaomi phones are good.
But this deal is cold for me as:
- China ROM instead of Global International ROM
- 2gb/16gb when the 3gb/32gb represents better value and bang per buck and a better processor.

may as well say pay the extra £100 and get the mi5.....
Does it have a removable battery pls?
But you might as well pay £200 extra and get a phone with a warranty...
Heat fro this OP, it's just not for me.
