Xiaomi ended software support for Mi 10 Lite Zoom, a China-exclusive smartphone in late April. Back then, we suggested that the global Mi 10 Lite 5G may get a similar treatment in a month. This has happened now as the device has been listed on Xiaomi’s official EOS (End of Support) list.
At the same time, the company has dropped software support for three of the Redmi Note 9 series handsets, such as Redmi Note 9S, Redmi Note 9 Pro, and Redmi Note 9 Pro Max. Let’s go through the details.
According to Xiaomiui, Xiaomi has added the Mi 10 Lite 5G to its EOS list. This confirms the termination of software support for this phone.
On the other hand, the aforementioned Redmi Note 9 models are yet to be included in the said list. But as per the security bulletin, they are supposed to receive security updates only until May 2023.
As these phones just received a security update in April and May is about to end, there may not be a new software build hereafter. The EOS list will likely be updated in a while with these handsets.
All these smartphones were released in early 2020. So Xiaomi ended their software support 3 years after their release.
For comparison, similarly priced Samsung devices from the same period will continue to receive software support till next year (4 years). But Oppo, Vivo, and Realme have the same policy as Xiaomi.
