Xiaomi EOS List: Redmi 9 Prime, POCO M2 Pro and Many Devices Will No Longer Get Updates [Updated: 29 August 2023]

Xiaomi has released an updated Xiaomi EOS list, and some budget Xiaomi devices have been added to the list. They will no longer receive updates. Xiaomi releases updates to all devices almost every day, and over time, the update support of these devices is terminated.

While it’s unfortunate that these devices will no longer receive updates, it’s important to remember that Xiaomi provides updates to all devices for a relatively long period of time. As a result, Xiaomi devices are among the most updated devices on the market. If you’re looking for an updated device, Xiaomi is still a great option.

What does the Xiaomi EOS List mean?

If you have a Xiaomi device that’s on the Xiaomi EOS List, you’ll no longer receive new Xiaomi updates. This includes security updates, so it’s important to be aware of the risks involved in using an outdated device. While Xiaomi devices are generally very secure, older devices may be more vulnerable to exploits. So if you have a Xiaomi device that’s on the Xiaomi EOS List, we recommend upgrading to a newer model.

There are a few surprising aspects here. First, smartphones like Redmi Note 9 (Redmi 10X 4G) and Redmi 9 were expected to receive the MIUI 14 update. However, update support was discontinued before these smartphones could receive the MIUI 14 update.

Did an issue arise during the testing of MIUI 14 for the Note 9 series and other devices? Or did Xiaomi decide not to deal with these devices anymore?

Additionally, new MIUI 13 updates were prepared for models like Redmi 10X a few weeks ago. Redmi 10X 4G is the Chinese version of Redmi Note 9. The internal MIUI builds for these updates are MIUI-V13.0.2.0.SJOCNXM and MIUI-V13.0.7.0.SJCCNXM. The release of these newly prepared updates to the devices was expected. It is unclear what Xiaomi exactly intends to do.

As for the decision regarding the Redmi 9A, it was right. Due to its insufficient processor, it faced numerous issues. We had previously mentioned that the Redmi 9C / NFC, which has similar specifications to the Redmi 9A, should also be added to the Xiaomi EOS List. If you wish, you can read the article we wrote about the Redmi 9C / NFC.
