A huge list of Xiaomi devices is going to stop receiving software updates from next year. This means no major Android upgrades, HyperOS updates, or even security updates. Most of those devices won’t be upgraded to HyperOS 3, and some haven’t even received the Android 14-based HyperOS 2 update.
The folks at Xiaomi Time have prepared an extensive list of devices that will not receive software updates beyond 2025. Review it below to find out if yours is nearing the end of life (EOL) and if you’ll need an upgrade to continue receiving the latest features and security enhancements.

Most of these devices stopped receiving major updates months ago, and soon they will also run out of security updates. Therefore, they won’t receive any updates at all from next year, unless a major vulnerability is discovered that also affects these devices. In that case, a minor update may be released.
If your Xiaomi device is on the above list, it may have already reached its end of life, or will reach there very soon. That means it won’t get security updates, which could expose your device to many security vulnerabilities.
While you can continue to use your existing device, it’s recommended that you upgrade to a newer model, especially if the device has critical data stored on it. Check out this list of Xiaomi devices that offer six years of software updates to find one that stays relevant for years to come.
