Xiaomi has officially expanded its End-of-Life (EOL) list by adding 10 more smartphones and tablets, marking the end of software support for several popular devices. Users of these models will no longer receive HyperOS updates, Android version upgrades, monthly security patches, or bug-fix releases.
The latest EOL update affects flagship Xiaomi 12 series phones, popular POCO X5 models, Redmi devices, and the Xiaomi Pad 6 lineup. While these devices will continue to function normally, they will gradually become less secure and miss out on future HyperOS features.
Xiaomi Adds 10 More Devices to End-of-Life (EOL) List
Xiaomi regularly updates its End-of-Life (EOL) database once devices complete their promised software support lifecycle. After reaching EOL status, Xiaomi officially stops delivering:
- HyperOS feature updates
- Android OS upgrades
- Monthly security patches
- Performance improvements
- Bug fixes and stability updates
For users who prioritize security, privacy, and new software features, this marks the end of official support.
List of Xiaomi Devices Reaching EOL
The following devices have now officially entered Xiaomi’s End-of-Life program:
- Xiaomi 12
- Xiaomi 12 Pro
- Xiaomi 12S Ultra
- POCO X5
- POCO X5 Pro 5G
- Redmi K60E
- Redmi 10 5G
- Xiaomi Pad 6
- Xiaomi Pad 6 Pro
- Xiaomi Pad 6 Max
What Does This Mean for Users?
Your device will not stop working after reaching EOL status. However, there are several important consequences:
- No future HyperOS updates
- No Android version upgrades
- No security vulnerability patches
- No official bug fixes
- Reduced protection against newly discovered exploits
Over time, unsupported devices may also experience compatibility issues with newer apps and services as Android evolves.
Should You Upgrade?
If your device is still meeting your needs, there is no immediate reason to replace it. However, users who rely on their phones or tablets for banking, work, or storing sensitive information should begin considering an upgrade.
A newer Xiaomi device will continue receiving:
- Regular HyperOS updates
- Latest Android releases
- Monthly security updates
- New AI-powered features
- Improved performance and battery optimizations
Final Thoughts
The addition of 10 more Xiaomi, Redmi, POCO, and Xiaomi Pad devices to the End-of-Life list marks another major step in Xiaomi’s software lifecycle. While these products remain capable hardware, the lack of future security patches and software improvements means their long-term usability will gradually decline.
If you’re currently using one of the affected devices, now is a good time to start planning your next upgrade—especially if staying secure and receiving the latest HyperOS features is important.
