Last Updated on August 30, 2022 by Anu Joy

Xiaomi has updated its end-of-support (EOS) products list to include a few more smartphones—the Xiaomi Mi 8, Mi 9, and Redmi 7A. To recall, the Redmi 7A and Mi 8 launched back in 2018. Meanwhile, the Mi 9 was released in 2019. Xiaomi typically rolls out security updates for a period of at least two years after the first shipment of the device, and it comes as no surprise that the aforementioned models will no longer get software updates.

Xiaomi did not roll out the latest MIUI 13 update to the Mi 8, Mi 9, and Redmi 7A. The aforementioned smartphones had received the MIUI 12.5 as the most recent upgrade. The company states that it will no longer offer software or firmware updates for the devices that come under its EOS product list.
