Xiaomi has an EOS (End of Support) product list on its official website. Every once in a while, the company updates this list with older devices.
At the end of February, the firm made changes to the list. It added four more smartphones to this huge list. One of them was a quite popular phone of its time.
The handset we are talking about is Redmi Note 8. Apart from this device, Xiaomi has also suspended software support for Redmi Note 8T, Redmi 8A Dual, and Redmi K30 5G Speed Edition.
Almost all of the aforementioned phones were released in early 2020. We expected Xiaomi to drop software support for them as some of the initial models in these lineups faced the same in late December.
Throughout their official software support period, Redmi K30 5G Speed Edition, Redmi Note 8, and Redmi Note 8T received two Android updates. But being an entry-level smartphone, the Redmi 8A Dual got only one Android update.
Out of these four handsets, the Redmi Note 8 was arguably the hottest product of its time worldwide. It was the first Redmi Note series device to offer a quad-camera setup.
Above all, it was priced very competitively. Unfortunately, it was the last Redmi Note lineup phone to offer great value for its asking price. That’s because the COVID-19 global pandemic soon followed and the entire smartphone market changed in the following years.
