However, even the best update commitments have limits, and 19 Xiaomi devices are approaching their end-of-life (EOL) status in 2026.
These devices will stop receiving all kinds of software updates, including Android OS upgrades, HyperOS updates, and critical security patches after their respective EOL dates. The complete list of Xiaomi devices set to lose software support in 2026 is as follows:

This list has been compiled after reviewing official software support information from Xiaomi’s support page. Users can visit the official page to verify software support status for their Xiaomi devices.
Once a device reaches EOL, it will no longer receive updates. Although the phone will continue to function, it will miss out on security fixes for newly discovered vulnerabilities. Users with important data on these devices are advised to consider upgrading to newer models to ensure better security and continued software support.
For those interested, Xiaomi offers some models with promises of four Android OS updates or six years of software support. Choosing the latest models ensures longer update support and improved device longevity.
HyperOS 3 Update May Still Arrive
Despite approaching EOL, some devices may still receive the HyperOS 3 update. Xiaomi has recently started rolling out HyperOS 3 based on Android 15, expanding it beyond devices running Android 16. Internal builds for devices like POCO F5 and F5 Pro have been spotted, with the update expected to reach more models in the coming months.
