Xiaomi has officially confirmed that software support will end for 14 global smartphone models in 2026. These devices belong to the Xiaomi, Redmi, and POCO lineups, including several popular mid-range and flagship phones that are still widely used today.
Once support ends, these smartphones will reach EoL (End of Life) status and will no longer receive Android version upgrades, HyperOS updates, or even security patches.

What Happens After End of Life (EoL)?
After these dates, Xiaomi will completely stop providing software and firmware updates for the listed devices. This includes:
- No new HyperOS or Android updates
- No security patches
- No fixes for bugs or vulnerabilities
Xiaomi has clearly stated on its official platform that once a device enters the EoL list, the company no longer responds to security reports or vulnerabilities related to those products.
What Should Users Do?
If you own any of the devices listed above, the phone will continue to function normally after support ends. However, from a security and long-term usability perspective, users should consider:
- Avoiding sensitive activities like banking apps after EoL
- Keeping apps updated as long as possible
- Planning an upgrade to a newer Xiaomi, Redmi, or POCO device with longer software support
Xiaomi’s move is part of its regular software lifecycle policy, but it still impacts millions of users globally. With 2026 approaching, this list gives users plenty of time to prepare and decide whether to upgrade or continue using their devices with caution.
