Sean — Sun, 27 Jul 2025 09:54:46 +0000

Xiaomi is officially pulling the plug on a new wave of smartphones as it gets ready for the HyperOS 3. With its latest internal update, the company has added several more models to its end-of-life (EOL) list, meaning these devices will no longer get official support from the company. So let’s check it out.

These Xiaomi Phones That Won’t Get Future Updates

With Google already rolling out Android 16, the Chinese tech giant is expected to be shifting its focus towards HyperOS 3 (its custom Android 16 skin). The company has already released the Android 16 update with HyperOS 2.3 on the global version of the Xiaomi 15 and Xiaomi 14T Pro. While other eligible models will be getting the major software upgrade, Xiaomi has updated its list of devices that are reaching their “end-of-line”.

Xiaomi 11T Pro

This includes multiple models that include Xiaomi branded devices, Redmi phones, and even POCO models. So here’s all the phones that are losing official support:

Xiaomi 11T Pro
Xiaomi 11T
Xiaomi 11 Lite LE
Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE
Redmi 11 Prime 4G
Redmi A1+
Redmi A1
POCO M5
POCO C50

It is worth noting that these newly added devices will still get security patches till September 2025. However, Xiaomi isn’t planning on releasing any official updates for these older phones. The list shared above also includes models that didn’t even receive the HyperOS 2 update. At the moment, Xiaomi is actively working on Android 16 but an official roadmap for the rollout of HyperOS 3 hasn’t been shared yet. So stick around for more.

Xiaomi ends software support for Redmi 8, Redmi 8A, Redmi K30 5G, & POCO X2

Sean — Tue, 27 Dec 2022 08:56:37 +0000

Xiaomi has just updated its EOS list and added a couple of new smartphones. This means that the company has basically ended the software support for some Redmi and a Poco phones. So let’s have a look.

Looking at the EOS list, the Chinese tech giant is ending the support life for the Redmi 8, Redmi 8A, Redmi K30 5G, and even the POCO X2 smartphone models. For those unaware, the EOS list basically signifies that your device has reached the end of its official support from the company. This means that it will eventually become outdated and will have a risk involved since it no longer receives any security patch updates. So by this time, it is typically recommended to upgrade to a newer model.

And as of just yesterday, the POCO X2, Redmi K30, Redmi K30 5G, Redmi 8, and Redmi 8A have been added to this list. So they will no longer receive any form of software support from Xiaomi. While many POCO X2 users had been waiting for the MIUI 13 update, it is clear that this will never be the case and there are no plans for an update at the moment. For those unaware, the stable MIUI 13 build was tested on this phone back in April 2022, although the company did not release this update due to various bugs and other issues.

So for those that want to have an up to date handset model that is also not vulnerable to potential security risk, buying a new phone is the best option. This doesn’t mean that the aforementioned phones are immediately at risk, but over time they are much more vulnerable than phones that are still being supported by the brand.

Xiaomi finally drops Mi A3 software support, end of Xiaomi’s Android One

Sean — Fri, 23 Sep 2022 09:35:27 +0000

Xiaomi is finally ending the software support for the Mi A3 smartphone, which is the last of its Android One models. This basically marks an end of the Android One era for the company.

According to the Xiaomi Security Center’s EOS product list, the Chinese tech giant released a list of all devices that has finally reached the end of their software support life. This basically means that these phones will no longer receive any software or firmware updates, which includes security patches as well. The site shows a long list of Redmi and Xiaomi branded devices. Some of these models in the EOS list includes the Android One smartphone models that the Chinese brand had launched in the past, with the latest one being the Mi A3.

For those unaware, the Android One program was basically smartphone that features the stock Android operating system. Furthermore, these models typically received at least two years of major OS upgrades as well. Notably, one of the most highlighting aspect of these Android One phones were that they typically are some of the first Android models to receive new OS updates for the Android platform, rivaling even Google’s very own Pixel phones as well.

Xiaomi adds Mi 8, Mi 9 & Redmi 7A to its End-of-Support (EOS) list

Xiaomi, like other big brands, offers a limited lifespan of software updates and upgrades for devices. As one set comes under the hammer, new and improved products emerge to fill the void. The Xiaomi Mi 8, Mi 9, and Redmi 7A are among the new additions to this list. The trio will not receive any security or MIUI interface updates beginning on August 25.

The Redmi 7A and Mi 8 were both launched in 2018 while the Mi 9 was launched in 2019. Owners of the Mi 8, Mi 9, and Redmi 7A did not receive the newest MIUI 13 update from Xiaomi. The models did, however, receive MIUI 12.5 as the most recent upgrade. This news will come as a shocker to Mi 9 owners who are expecting that the flagship device will get one or two more updates before the company pulls the plug on software support. In fairness, the phone was launched just 27 months back, meaning the company only provided software support for a little over two years.

The end-of-support list is a constantly changing list of older devices that have completed their software life cycle. Most OEMs limit firmware upgrades to two major upgrades per device during its lifespan. This could take several years. Xiaomi’s End-of-Support (EOS) list currently includes 43 Mi and 38 Redmi smartphones, bringing the total number of devices to 81.

Xiaomi has announced a new set of devices that will no longer enjoy software support. A total of 10 devices have been included in the company’s end-of-support (EOS) list. This means that the products will not enjoy firmware and security updates anymore.

Redmi K20

The 10 devices have spent upwards of two years since their launch and at least one Android update. Xiaomi will also discontinue the regular security updates for the 10 devices. The devices are the Redmi K20, Redmi Note 7, Redmi Note 7S, Redmi Note 7 Pro, and Redmi 7. Others are the Redmi Y3, Mi Pad 4, Mi Pad 4 Plus, Mi Play, and Mi 9 SE.

Mi Pad 4 and Mi Pad 4 Plus

The inclusion of the 10 Xiaomi devices in the EOS list means that Xiaomi will no longer provide responses to security vulnerability reports. The Redmi Note 7 series was released three years ago and have enjoyed just one Android OS upgrade. The Redmi K20 is also about 3 years old.

Owners of the 10 Xiaomi devices did not enjoy the latest MIUI 13 update rolled out by Xiaomi. The end-of-support list is a dynamic list of older devices that have gone through their software cycle. Generally, most OEMs have a maximum of two firmware upgrades in the lifetime of a device. This could span a number of years.
