In 2025, several Xiaomi, Redmi, and POCO devices will no longer receive software updates, marking the end of their update cycles.
Some devices will receive the Android 14-based HyperOS 2 update as their last major update, while others will not get it at all. Here’s a breakdown of the devices affected:

Implications for Users: Once a device falls out of its update support window, it may no longer receive security patches or new features.
However, users can continue to use their devices as-is or explore custom ROMs to extend their usability.
For those looking for long-term software support, it may be time to consider newer models like the Xiaomi 15 series or Redmi K70 series, which come with extended update guarantees.
