Emir BardakçıIn a historic commitment to long-term updates to software, Xiaomi has expanded the ranks of devices that will be supported with security updates up to 2031 with the newly launched POCO F7 Pro and POCO F7 Ultra joining the elite ranks. The action highlights Xiaomi’s heightened commitment to long-term software support, elevating the company to among the industry leaders in terms of update longevity. The news comes after previous commitments to the Redmi Note 14 series and represents a significant change in Xiaomi’s approach to device lifecycle management, giving users assurance in using devices well into the future.
Xiaomi’s growing long-term support portfolio
The list of Xiaomi devices receiving long-term security updates now includes a robust set of mid-range and high-end devices
- POCO F7 Pro (valid until 27 March 2031)
- POCO F7 Ultra (until 27 March 2031)
- Xiaomi 15 Ultra (until March 1, 2031)
- Xiaomi 15 (until 1 March 2031)
- Redmi Note 14 (until 1st March 2031)
This comprehensive extension of support demonstrates the commitment to providing value beyond the initial sale, addressing one of the largest challenges confronting buyers of smartphones.
Mid-Range Devices with Extended Support
While coming in just under the six-year mark, a variety of other devices from Xiaomi will boast strong four-year security update support:
- Redmi Note 14 5G (up to 10 January 2029
- Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G (until 30 January 2029)
- Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G (until 1 January 2029)
- Redmi Note 14 Pro (until 15 January 2029)
- POCO X7 (until January 30, 2029)
- POCO X7 Pro (until January 7, 2029
The company tablet range is also receiving an extended support period with the Xiaomi Pad 7 and the Xiaomi Pad 7 Pro both receiving security updates through March 1, 2028.
What It Means to Consumers
This new policy of updates represents a significant shift in the manner in which Xiaomi supports its software. Traditionally, Android manufacturers have offered 2-3 years of security updates with high-end devices receiving longer-term support in some instances. The shift in Xiaomi to offer six years of security updates to chosen devices places the company at the forefront in terms of long-term support.
For the consumer, the longer support duration equals longer device life, improved security, and perhaps better resale value. It answers environmental concerns with longer patterns of device use and less electronic waste and resource consumption.
The addition of POCO F7 Pro and POCO F7 Ultra to this elite category signals that Xiaomi may be applying the same policy to other models in the future and establishing a new standard in the market.
good
I think I made a bad decision to buy the Redmi Note 13 4G cause there are no more updates for this device it’s really sad
im using redmi note 14 pro 5g global..and still running hyperos 1…why im not getting hyperos2 .
where is the 14 pro plus
so, redmi note 14 4g won’t receive updates like other
i ‘ve got a redmi 12 c wich was in the list for xaomi2 but sadenly now no hope for upgrade….don’t trust in chinese company….there are all fake….
What do mean by Xiaomi pad 7 and 7 pro receiving security update till March 2028.. it is the same As the Usual 2yrs OS update and 3yrs security update. On Jan 2025 was release month. Where is the change of so called 4yrs OS update and 6YRs security update. Or is it just a gimmick to attract costumers bcz of New IPad 11″ Update?? Don’t follow your costumers.
I mean don’t fool your costumers.. Be specific about what you (Xiaomi) gonna implement for your Android tablet.. Otherwise ppl loose all the hopes from Xiaomi.
Where is so called 4YRs OS update and 6 yrs Security patch update with Pad 7 and 7 pro.. it is the usual 3 yrs Security patch update. There is no change in that. Why did you then include the name of Pad 7 and 7 pro?
You thinks deleting my comments gonna do any help? Damn you Xiaomi.. You think you are fooling customer but in fact you are fooling youself infront of customer. Don’t make false statements. Pad 7 and 7 pro update policy is the same as before 3 yrs Security patch which make it to recieve security patch update untill March 2023. Why did you mentioned those tablet name in the post??
now here’s the sticker. By the time these Xiaomi Redmi phones reach South African shores as brand new models… Xiaomi has released them a full year or two ago in China! So now we buy it here as brand new, and discover after 6 months that no more security updates or major Android updates are available for that specific handset. How does Xiaomi plan to prevent this from happening in other markets? This is the very reason Samsung does so well in South Africa. (Guaranteed updates) when purchased.
“stinker”
It’s not as important as solving the question of:
Why I’m still on Jan 2025 security update when it’s April 2025…
what’s about xiaomi 14 ultra? 🙄
Got the Xiaomi 13T less than 2 years ago, almost a year with no updates, still on HyOS 1.0, very disappointing.
If Xiaomi wants us to believe their promises to support new phones for 6 years they should at the very least update the phones they recently sold for more than 1 year.
I’ll just remind that google made the same promises and failed to deliver very quickly with different excuses.
lmao about who use redmi cheap one series and want them to update like god
any new software update for Poco M3 phone
