Xiaomi is preparing to say goodbye to some of its old smartphones, at least from the point of view of updates. The technology company revealed the list of devices that will no longer receive operating system and security updates, effectively marking the end of their life cycle.
What does it mean to be in “End of Life”? According to Xiaomi’s policy, devices reach this status after three or four years of life, being officially “set aside” and deprived of software updates. A strategy that may disappoint some users, but which is part of the company philosophy of offering innovative products at competitive prices.
The list of “affected” devices is truly extensive and spans three main series of the Chinese giant, including sub-brands Redmi and POCO.
