| 19 Xiaomi Phones That Will Stop Getting Updates in 2026, Full EOL List for Xiaomi, Redmi, and Poco. |
If you are using a Xiaomi, Redmi, or Poco device, this is something you should not ignore. Xiaomi has confirmed that 19 smartphones and tablets will officially reach End-of-Life (EOL) status in 2026. Once a device enters EOL, it will no longer receive software updates or security patches.
This information is based on Xiaomi’s official support data and was compiled by Gizmochina. Knowing this early can help users plan whether to keep their device or start considering an upgrade.
What Does End-of-Life Mean and Why Does It Matter?
When a device reaches EOL, it does not suddenly stop working. You can still use it for calls, apps, and daily activities. However, the lack of security updates makes the device more vulnerable to bugs, malware, and data leaks over time. New apps and features may also stop working properly in the future.

Should You Upgrade Your Xiaomi Phone?
All devices on this list will continue to function after support ends. Still, using a phone without security patches is not recommended for long-term use, especially if you rely on mobile banking, online shopping, or store sensitive personal data.
Previously, Xiaomi also revealed a list of nearly 100 devices eligible for Android 16, and unfortunately, the models above are not included.
If your Xiaomi, Redmi, or Poco phone appears on this list, now is a good time to think ahead. Staying informed helps you make smarter and safer decisions about your next smartphone upgrade.
