Summary

  • 10 Xiaomi, POCO and Redmi devices were officially moved to Xiaomi’s End of Life list, including the Xiaomi 12, Xiaomi 12 Pro, POCO X5 5G and Redmi 10 5G.
  • EOL status means those models will no longer receive Android upgrades, HyperOS feature updates, security patches, vulnerability fixes or bug-fix maintenance releases.
  • Several affected phones had already passed Xiaomi’s promised support window, and the latest update formalizes that status on the company’s Product Security Center.
  • Regional variants were also swept in, with Xiaomi 12 and 12 Pro firmware builds in markets including Global, EEA, Turkey, Taiwan, Indonesia, Russia and China marked unsupported.
  • The devices will keep working, but users who want ongoing security protection and new software features may need to upgrade as Xiaomi shifts active support to newer models.
