Xiaomi End-of-Life List 2026: 19 Devices Losing Software Support This Year

Xiaomi has updated its product lifecycle data, confirming that software support will cease for 19 smartphone and tablet models throughout 2026. These devices, spanning the Xiaomi, Redmi, and POCO lineups, are scheduled to reach “End-of-Life” (EOL) status.

According to the company’s official policy, once these dates are reached, the listed devices will no longer receive Android operating system upgrades, new iterations of the HyperOS interface, or critical security updates.

Xiaomi End-of-Life: Implications of End-of-Support

The cessation of support does not affect the device’s basic functionality; calls, applications, and hardware features will continue to operate. However, the lack of security patches means that devices will no longer be protected against newly discovered vulnerabilities. Manufacturers typically recommend upgrading to newer models after the official support period expires to ensure data security.
