There are two types: major operating system (OS) updates, which bring new functions and interface changes, and security updates, which correct system flaws in order to improve it. protect once morest viruses and other malware. However, following a certain time – which depends on the policy of each manufacturer – it no longer tracks the device, which means that certain applications become incompatible and that security vulnerabilities are no longer corrected, which exposes you to risks. Xiaomi is no exception to this and regularly shares the list of smartphones with its users – under the name of EOS list (End of Support) – who no longer receive MIUI, Android or security updates.
Which devices are no longer being updated?
Xiaomi’s update policy depends on the smartphone model. The Chinese manufacturer has committed to providing four years of security updates and three years of major Android updates, but this only concerns smartphones from the Xiaomi 12 and 12 Pro. For other models, it is less. The Redmi Note and Mi benefit from two to three major updates, while the other Redmi have to make do with one or two Android updates.
