If you own a Xiaomi, Redmi or Poco phone, it’s time to check how long it’ll continue getting updates. While these devices often offer excellent value for money, software support doesn’t last forever — and knowing when your phone stops getting updates can help you plan.
A simple way to check your update status
Xiaomi now offers a transparent tool that lets you see exactly how long your device will receive Android upgrades and security patches. Simply visit trust.mi.com, where you can search by model and view your phone’s update roadmap.
The site includes:
- The original Android version it shipped with
- Future Android versions are expected to receive
- The exact month and year when security updates will end
What the update info tells you
Take this example: a Xiaomi smartphone released in February 2024.
- Shipped with: Android 14
- Expected updates: Android 15 through to Android 18
- Security patches until February 2029
That means this model will receive four major Android updates and five full years of security support. For budget and mid-range phones, that’s a fairly generous window — but not all devices get the same treatment.
Why this matters for your phone’s lifespan
For many users, a phone doesn’t stop working when updates are applied. But without those critical patches, your device becomes more vulnerable to bugs, compatibility issues, and potential security threats.
With this tool, you can make more informed decisions about when to upgrade, especially if you're holding onto a device that's nearing its end of life. It’s also helpful if you’re buying a second-hand Xiaomi — you can see at a glance how many updates are left.
Which devices are nearing the end?
If you’re using an older model that shipped with Android 11 or 12, chances are it may not be supported beyond Android 14 or 15. Devices like the Redmi Note 10 or early Poco phones could be nearing their final updates.
To avoid surprises, take a moment to check the status of your device now. It only takes a few clicks, and it could spare you from running unsupported software in the near future.
Plan ahead with peace of mind
The good news? Xiaomi’s decision to provide this information publicly means users have more control. Whether you’re budgeting for a future upgrade or squeezing every last year from your current phone, knowing your update timeline makes it easier to plan.
Before your phone stops receiving critical updates, check its status — and make sure you’re not caught off guard.
