\"Xiaomi<\/a><\/p>\n

Xiaomi offers one of the most generous software update policies among Android brands, often supporting its devices longer than many competitors do. But no matter how strong the update promise is, every phone eventually reaches the end-of-life (EOL). That moment is now approaching for 19 Xiaomi phones.<\/p>\n

These nineteen Xiaomi devices are scheduled to reach the EOL status in 2026. After that, they will stop receiving all software updates, including Android OS upgrades, HyperOS updates, and even critical security patches. Below is the full list of Xiaomi devices that are set to lose software support in 2026.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve curated the list by reviewing the software support information for every device on the official software support information page<\/a>. You can visit the page to manually check the software support for your Xiaomi device.<\/p>\n

If your Xiaomi device is on the list, it will stop receiving updates in a few months. The device will still function properly, but it won\u2019t have fixes for the latest security vulnerabilities. If the device has critical data, it\u2019s better to upgrade to a newer model than to put your phone at risk.<\/p>\n

Check out our curated list of Xiaomi phones that are promised to receive four Android OS updates<\/a> or six years of software support<\/a>. It\u2019s best to grab the latest model, as it receives updates for a longer period.<\/p>\n

HyperOS 3 update may still arrive for some devices<\/p>\n

While the devices on the above list are moving towards their EOL status, some may still receive the HyperOS 3 update, as Xiaomi has just started rolling it out to Android 15 devices. This major upgrade, so far, has been rolling out with Android 16, but Xiaomi has recently begun to push it to Android 15 devices as well.<\/p>\n

Last month, the Android 15-based HyperOS 3 internal build was spotted for many devices, including the Poco F5 and F5 Pro. The update is expected to expand to more devices in the coming weeks and months.<\/p>\n

You can visit our HyperOS 3 section<\/a> regularly for the latest updates.
