[Updated] Xiaomi phones that have stopped receiving updates
Xiaomi has a bunch of smartphones on its stables ranging from entry-level to premium Android phones. The Chinese company offers these devices in different brands, which include Xiaomi, Redmi, and POCO. And because POCO is believed to be an independent brand, we will focus on Redmi and Xiaomi phones that have stopped receiving updates in this post.
Typical of Xiaomi, a new phone is released monthly, but the company always finds a way to support these phones. The company promises at least two years of support, during which two Android OS updates will be released for the device. Of course, it depends as we have seen few phones get only a single OS upgrade.
Perhaps, entry-level phones are limited to two years of support with One OS upgrade, while mid-range phones often get two Android OS and two years of support. The same for the premium phones, but three years of security support.
Still not sure where your current device falls under, we have made a list of Xiaomi phones that have stopped receiving updates. If your phone is on the list and you value security patch updates, it might be time to switch to a new device.
