Update Alert for Popular Models including POCO X3 and Xiaomi Mi 10T
Key Updates from Xiaomi
Recent revelations from Xiaomi have caught the attention of tech aficionados globally. Xiaomi has officially announced the end of its software update cycle for several models introduced in 2020. This decision doesn’t just affect global users but also has ramifications for specific regional users. So, which Xiaomi devices are nearing their “End of Life” (EoL) phase? The POCO X3, Xiaomi Mi 10T, and Mi 10T Pro are the main contenders.
Affected Models and Regions
Xiaomi’s official online platform has made it clear: four models — POCO X3, Poco X3 NFC, Mi 10T, and Mi 10T Pro — have reached the end of their support lifecycle for updates. These smartphones, popular in multiple countries, may have varying update cycles based on the region. To be specific, global, Indian, and European versions of Mi 10T and Mi 10T Pro, as well as the Indian version of POCO X3 and the Russian version of POCO X3 NFC, are no longer in the support list.
Implications for Users
As these models wrap up their support, there won’t be any more updates on the operating system and security front. However, they’ll still function as they always have. But a word of caution: this might pose a risk. With no updates, Xiaomi won’t be providing fixes for potential vulnerabilities detected in both software and hardware. But there’s a silver lining — Xiaomi has emphasized that if they identify a severe security vulnerability, they might still release the essential security patches, even if the device is not on their support list.
Xiaomi’s Evolution in Update Policy
Here’s a trip down memory lane for context: The models POCO X3, POCO X3 NFC, Xiaomi Mi 10T, and Mi 10T Pro were unveiled in the latter half of 2020. This was a time when Xiaomi committed to a three-year Android update policy. But as with all things tech, evolution is inevitable. This policy has now evolved, and the latest models enjoy the privilege of four operating system upgrades and a full five years of security updates.
