Xiaomi is doing something unexpected. They are sending new HyperOS system updates to some older phones. These phones were already listed as End-of-Life (EOL). This means they should not get new updates.
Usually, when a phone is EOL, the company stops all support. This includes big system updates and security fixes. But Xiaomi is making exceptions for some old devices.
Xiaomi sometimes releases special updates for older phones. These fix important problems and make the system more stable. A report from gizmochina shared this news. It was seen by العربية Business.
These new updates are not huge. They do not add many new features. Instead, they focus on fixing bugs. They also improve how the affected devices perform.
Here is a list of phones getting these updates:
- Xiaomi 11i
- Xiaomi 12
- Xiaomi 12 Pro
- Redmi K60e
- Redmi Note 11 Pro +
- Poco F4
- Poco F4 GT
You can check for the update yourself. Go to Settings > System Update. Users should install the update quickly. These emergency updates often fix serious issues or security gaps.
People are happy about this from Xiaomi. But these phones will still not get regular security updates. They also won't get new features from the latest HyperOS versions. So, this support is limited and temporary.
Xiaomi continues to support some old devices after the official support ends. This shows they want to keep users happy. They aim to fix critical problems. Long-term update policies are now very important for phone companies.
