The termination of software support by the manufacturer means possible threats to the security of users and the security of user data. Unsupported devices will not receive patches for vulnerabilities that could theoretically be exploited by attackers.
Owners of older smartphones are advised to consider upgrading to more modern devices or consider using proven custom ROMs from enthusiasts that include up-to-date security patches.

The Xiaomi EOS list is a list of Xiaomi devices that have reached the end of their software update cycle. This means that these devices will no longer receive any new Android updates, MIUI updates, or security patches.
The latest Xiaomi EOS list is as follows:

- Redmi 10X Pro
- POCO F2 Pro
- Redmi Note 9
- Redmi 9
- Redmi 9A
- Redmi K30i 5G

The devices in the EOS list are usually two years old or older. Xiaomi typically supports its devices with software updates for two years after their release.
If you own a device that is on the EOS list, you should still be able to use it as normal. However, you will not receive any new security patches, which means that your device may be more vulnerable to malware and other security threats.
You can check if your device is in the EOS list by going to the Xiaomi Security Center website and entering your device’s model number.
