Older smartphones are known to reach the end of their software support. Xiaomi updates its official EOS (End of Support) list every now and then to let users know regarding the support for their handsets.
Just a few days back, the company halted the software support for Redmi Note 9 and two more devices. Now, the firm has updated the list with four new phones.
The last batch only included budget models. But the new one also consists of a mid-ranger.
According to Xiaomiui, Xiaomi will no longer offer new OTA system updates for the following smartphones.
The first three products are currently on Android 12. But the affordable Redmi 9C continues to run on its launch software of MIUI 12 based on Android 10. It only received bug fixes and security patches throughout its lifetime.
Whereas, the Redmi K30 Ultra and the Poco M2 Pro are on the latest MIUI 14. However, their Android version is 12, which is a gen behind. Both of them were released with Android 10, however, the Poco device debuted with MIUI 11 compared to MIUI 12 on the Redmi.
Finally, the Redmi 9 Prime also boots on Android 12. But the software is MIUI 13. It was launched with Android 10-based MIUI 11.
Anyway, these handsets will continue to work normally as they have been. Users will not face any compatibility issues with most-used apps.
