These are the 12 Xiaomi phones that will be unsupported

HyperOS is coming to Xiaomi devices in February, but not all of them are compatible. Here is a list of phones that include this update and those that dont.

At the end of 2023, Xiaomi announced HyperOS, an operating system based on the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) that will replace the MIUI system. Although this may sound innovative to users, it is not all good news, as some devices will stop updating.

HyperOS compatible devices

The site announces that the first series of compatible devices will receive stable updates during the first quarter of 2024. These include the Xiaomi 13 Ultra, Xiaomi 13 Pro, Xiaomi 13, and the Xiaomi Pad 6.

Which cell phones will stop updating in 2024?

When companies decide to make these types of updates, it is normal that some older devices are not considered for updating due to their characteristics. According to Xiaomi's official security center , these are the 12 phones that will no longer receive support:

March 2024:

• Redmi Note 10 Pro
• Redmi Note 10 Pro Max

April 2024:

• Poco M3 Pro 5G
• Redmi Note 10 5G
• Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra
• Redmi Note 10S
• Redmi Note 10T 5G
• Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G

July 2024:

• POCO M5s

August 2024:

• Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE
• Redmi 10

What happens if my phone no longer has updates?

When a phone is unsupported, it is more prone to getting infected with malware or viruses. The main reason for this is the lack of security patches, which are updated by Google to cover potential entry holes for malicious code that can alter devices and invade privacy.

It is also important to note that some applications stop working on older versions of the operating system.
