Xiaomi has listed some Redmi and POCO devices that will no longer receive official HyperOS and Android updates, including security patches. This is a regular change in the life of the Xiaomi smartphone lineup. After the completion of the lifespan of some Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO models, the Chinese company officially updates its EOL (end of life) list.
The OEM is known to distribute HyperOS updates to a wide range of smartphones. Also, it has a different strategy for each model like Redmi and POCO. As you know, Redmi and POCO smartphones are eligible for two or three major OS upgrades as well as four years of security patches. After this, the company puts them on the EOL (End of Life) list.
Currently, the Chinese OEM has stopped HyperOS and Android updates, including security patch support, for some Redmi and POCO devices. The below-mentioned models will no longer receive any major software upgrades, monthly security patch rollouts, or simple fix patches. Check out these Redmi and POCO phones below:
