Xiaomi Released Fixes After Support Ended: Which Phones Received Them?

The Xiaomi 12, Redmi K60e and POCO F4 are among the phones that received additional updates after regular software support ended. The fixes addressed bugs affecting stability or security. That does not mean regular updates have resumed for these models.

Which models received additional fixes?

The devices reported to have received updates outside their original support schedule include:

• Xiaomi 12 and Xiaomi 12 Pro
• Redmi K60e and Redmi Note 11 Pro+
• Xiaomi 11i
• POCO F4 and POCO F4 GT

Additional fixes can resolve serious bugs and improve a phone’s reliability or security. On their own, however, they do not promise further security patches, a new Android version or new system features.

How long does Xiaomi support its phones?

The length of support depends on the specific model and when it was launched. Older devices received around three years of security patches, while some newer models may receive updates for as long as six years. Major system updates and new features are generally limited to the official support period.

After that period ends, the manufacturer may decide to release an exceptional fix, for example if it discovers a stability or security problem. Users should not, however, rely on such fixes as a substitute for regular support.

How to check for updates and support

In your phone’s settings, open the device information section and look for the system update section. There you can check your current software version and search for an available update. Availability may differ by model, variant and region, so an update released for one phone may not be available at the same time to everyone using the same model range.

To find out how long your phone is supported, look for the manufacturer’s information for your device’s exact model designation. Xiaomi removed its list of unsupported smartphones from its official website at one point, making support information harder to navigate; check the manufacturer’s current information for the latest status.

If you are considering buying or continuing to use an older phone, such as the Redmi K60e or POCO F4, check its support status. A one-off fix may resolve a specific problem, but it does not guarantee that the device will receive patches in the future.
