Xiaomi, Redmi, and POCO smartphone owners should take note of an important announcement: Several older phone models are no longer eligible for software updates or official support. This indicates that these devices have reached their End-of-Life (EOL).
Xiaomi regularly publishes an EOL list that specifies which devices will no longer receive software support. The latest list includes several popular models from Xiaomi, Redmi, and POCO.
As Xiaomi works on HyperOS 3, which is based on Android 16, it is also preparing to remove older models from the support list. The initial rollout of the new HyperOS 3 is planned for new models like the Xiaomi 15 and Xiaomi 14T Pro.
The devices on the EOL list include: Xiaomi 11T, Xiaomi 11T Pro, Xiaomi 11 Lite LE, and Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE. The Redmi models affected are the Redmi 11 Prime 4G, Redmi A1+, and Redmi A1. POCO M5 and POCO C50 are also included.
While these devices will continue to receive security patch updates until September 2025, they will not get new MIUI, HyperOS, or Android versions. Many users have not even received HyperOS 2 and are now completely without software support.
Xiaomi is currently developing its new HyperOS 3, which will be based on Android 16. However, the company has not specified which smartphone models will be getting this update or when it will be released.
