These are the Xiaomi devices that will no longer have support in May

by

The list of mobiles and other Xiaomi devices without support since May 2022 is updated again, which add expected additions. As they are not supported, they will no longer receive updates, not even security patches, so it will be less and less advisable to use them.

Xiaomi mobiles have about 2 years of major updates and 3 years of security patches (depending on the model), then they go into a state called End of Life (EOL) or “end of life” . From then on, its software is no longer updated , so any vulnerabilities discovered in Android or MIUI will put us at risk.

Just a few days ago we learned that the Xiaomi Redmi Go, Note 7 and Note 7 Pro were losing support, and now it’s up to models like the Xiaomi Mi 8 UD, Mi Play or Redmi Note 7S . Not all of those on the list have reached Spain or Latin America, some have only been sold in China.

We are going to collect all devices without support from May 9, 2022 , not only mobiles and tablets, but also wearables, smart home equipment and more:

Other Xiaomi devices at EOL (May 2022)
