HyperOS support is ending in 2026 for these Xiaomi and Poco phones

By

Rajesh Regmi

-

Jan 8, 2026

Xiaomi is getting ready to quietly retire software support for a large group of its phones in 2026. According to updated timelines from the company, software updates will end for 14 smartphones from all three Xiaomi, Redmi, and Poco brands.

The list includes a mix of flagship phones, midrange bestsellers, and budget devices that are still widely used in many markets. Once support ends, these phones will officially be classified as EoL, or end of life. That means no more Android updates, no new HyperOS versions, and no monthly security patches.

Here’s the complete list

Some of the biggest names on the list are the Poco F5 and Poco F5 Pro. Both phones are expected to receive HyperOS 3, which is based on Android 15, but that update will also be their last. After May 9, 2026, the Poco F5 will stop receiving any software updates.

Xiaomi’s older flagships are also nearing the end. The Xiaomi 12 and Xiaomi 12 Pro will lose support in March 2026, while the Xiaomi 12T and 12T Pro will last a bit longer, until October 13, 2026. The Xiaomi 12 Lite will reach the end of support on July 1, 2026.

On the Redmi side, several budget and midrange phones will be affected. This includes the Redmi Note 12 Pro, Redmi Note 12 5G, Redmi 12C, Redmi 13C, and entry-level models like the Redmi A2 and A2+. Poco’s X-series isn’t spared either. The Poco X5 and X5 Pro 5G will reach EoL in February 2026.

Once updates stop, these phones will continue to work as usual. Apps won’t suddenly break, and the hardware won’t stop functioning. The bigger issue is security. Without patches, newly discovered vulnerabilities won’t be fixed, which can put personal data at risk over time.

If your Xiaomi, Redmi, or Poco phone appears on this list and you rely on it for sensitive information, upgrading to a newer model before support ends may be the safer choice.

Motorola Signature surprises in camera comparison with Vivo X300 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro

By

Jan 8, 2026

The Motorola Signature is finally official, featuring larger main and telephoto sensors than the Edge 50 Ultra, along with improved image processing algorithms. But how does it compare to the latest iPhone and Vivo flagships? That’s what DxOMark’s latest comprehensive camera comparison aims to answer.

The source shared side-by-side comparison images from the Motorola Signature, Apple’s iPhone 17 Pro, and the Vivo X300 Pro, shot across a variety of lighting conditions.

In a relatively low-light scenario with tricky colors, the Motorola flagship surprisingly handled both the subject and the background better than the rest. As seen in the images below, the Motorola Signature preserved wall details more effectively than both the Vivo and the iPhone, while maintaining natural-looking skin tones.

In the portrait shot, the X300 Pro (our review) appears to hit a sweet spot between a natural and processed look, both in terms of lighting and color on the face. The Motorola Signature’s sample matches the Vivo in brightness and edge detection, but looks slightly warmer than the iPhone’s natural output.

The Signature packs a 1/1.95-inch 50MP sensor in its periscope telephoto camera, which sits between the Vivo X300 Pro’s 1/1.4-inch 200MP sensor and the iPhone 17 Pro’s 1/2.55-inch 48MP sensor. However, smartphone photography in 2026 relies heavily on software processing and AI. That raises the question: where does the Motorola Signature stand against the X300 Pro?

While the source didn’t specify the exact focal length used for the zoomed shots, the Motorola Signature’s sample appears noticeably more detailed than the iPhone’s and slightly behind the Vivo’s.

DxOMark also noted better noise control in shadow areas compared to the iPhone, highlighting how much Motorola has improved its image processing in recent years.

DxOMark’s camera ranking

The Motorola Signature currently ranks seventh in DxOMark’s smartphone camera rankings, placing it ahead of the Pixel 10 Pro XL, Huawei Pura 70 Ultra, and the iPhone 16 Pro Max.

The phone is expected to launch in parts of Europe next month, with a reported starting price of £899.99 / €999, and wider availability planned in the following months.

Do you still care about brand collaboration like Xiaomi x Leica?

By

-

Jan 8, 2026

The smartphone industry has long been obsessed with prestige. For years, a flagship phone wasn’t truly a flagship unless it had a camera partnership with a legendary optics brand or a badge from a luxury automaker. Logos like Hasselblad, Leica, Zeiss, Porsche Design, and Lamborghini were more than design flourishes. They were status symbols, reassuring buyers that the phone in their hands had photographic or luxury legitimacy. But as we step into 2026, it feels like that era is quietly fading.

1. Walking Away From the Logo

Take the recent breakup between OnePlus and Hasselblad. That collaboration began as a bold statement: OnePlus was ready to play in the big leagues. For five years, the Hasselblad logo was welded to the “Pro” identity of OnePlus flagships, promising more than just marketing fluff, Hasselblad Natural Color Calibration, improved image tuning, and a shot at true photography-grade performance. But with the OnePlus 15, the logo is gone. In its place? A self-branded “DetailMax Engine.”

And… it barely registered.

To the average user, the absence of the logo doesn’t impact purchase decisions. In fact, some see it as a natural evolution. After half a decade of collaboration, maybe OnePlus doesn’t need the training wheels. Maybe it’s time to stand on its own. In this light, dropping the name isn’t a downgrade, it’s a signal of confidence.

2. Where Partnerships Still Work

That doesn’t mean all collaborations are dead. Xiaomi and Leica are going strong and going deeper. The Xiaomi 17 Ultra might be the most Leica-integrated smartphone yet, even featuring the iconic Red Dot, a design privilege Leica rarely extends beyond its own cameras. This isn’t just tuning, it’s full co-engineering, down to lens profiles and authentic Leica color modes.

Same goes for Vivo and Zeiss. Devices like the Vivo X300 Pro don’t treat Zeiss as a vanity sticker. These phones integrate Zeiss T* lens coatings, APO-certified optics, and deliver pro-level output that photographers actually care about.

For this niche of users, enthusiasts, content creators, mobile photographers, the branding is the value. It’s a comfort zone. If you’re looking for a specific color science or lens behavior you’re already familiar with, these collaborations bring reassurance that specs alone can’t offer.

3. Luxury Labels Are Mostly Gone

Compare that to the forgotten supercar collabs. Remember Huawei’s Porsche Design models? Or Oppo’s Lamborghini Editions? These luxury tie-ins once justified huge price tags. Today, they’re nearly extinct. The market has spoken: a Lamborghini logo doesn’t add megapixels or increase battery life. In an age where every dollar is scrutinized, flashy brand badges feel hollow.

This decline is partly due to shifting consumer priorities. People care more about software support, camera performance, AI smarts, and display quality than a co-sign from an unrelated luxury house.

4. What Really Matters Now?

The market is beginning to stratify.

For enthusiast devices like the Xiaomi 17 Ultra or Vivo X300 Pro, partnerships still make sense. These phones are crafted for people who want a Leica or Zeiss look baked into their mobile photography. The brand is part of the feature set.

But for the average consumer shopping in the $500-$800 range? These logos don’t carry the same weight. In that space, people want performance, value, and long-term reliability. The camera should be good, regardless of what name is printed next to it.

So we ask: do you still care about collaborations like Xiaomi x Leica? Or has the smartphone world matured to a point where branding doesn’t matter, only the results do?

When you pick your next phone, what’s going to sway your decision? A red dot? Or just how good your next photo looks?

185Hz display: Do you need ultra-high refresh rate for mobile gaming?

Jan 8, 2026

60Hz was the standard refresh rate for smartphones a few years ago. As chipsets got more capable and phones could finally push more frames for smoother animation and scrolling, smartphone makers switched to higher refresh rate displays to improve the user experience. Lately, this has also allowed phones to offer smoother gameplay.
