How to know when your Xiaomi is no longer up to date

Recently, Xiaomi has officially announced the end of support, which is expressed in the absence of any updates to the Android and MIUI system.

Thanks to the recently updated Xiaomi website, or more precisely, the Xiaomi Security Center section, you can not only find out which smartphones have become outdated, but also understand what updates some phone models will receive (up to android update).

In this article, we’ll show you how to use this resource and what its countless menus mean.

To get started, go to the site and click on the Security tab, on the next page (at its very end) find the Go to Xiaomi Security Center button.

Then you need to go directly to the update center, for this, find the special section “Security Updates” and the “Learn more” button.

On the page, select which type of gadgets you are interested in, there are two options to choose from:

Smartphones
Other smart devices (bracelets, routers, scooters, etc.)

By selecting “Smartphones” (if we are talking about them), you get to the “Support Policy” page, which will allow you to find out which Xiaomi and Redmi models are included in the “EOS” list (end of support).

In the last update of the list, Redmi K20 was included in it, and in the near future the global version of this smartphone, Mi 9T, will also get there.

Now let’s talk about updates and for this we will move (on this page) to the “Update Details” menu. Choose the last of the possible months, press the Go button and scroll down the page to the list of smartphones.

In this list, the company has listed all smartphones that will sooner or later receive the Android Security update, which actually means they are actively supported.

It should be explained that if your smartphone is not on this list, this does not mean that it has not been updated. This indicates that the firmware may be under development.

The last tab of the site was added recently, but in our opinion is the most useful. By clicking on AER Information, you will see a list of smartphones, which at first glance does not carry any information.

In fact, thanks to it, you can find out which versions of Android your smartphone will receive (provided that it is on the list).

Thus, with the help of Xiaomi Security Center, you can find out up-to-date information about updating Xiaomi smartphones, as well as be aware in advance which models are no longer supported.
