According to the company’s Security Center and Android Enterprise Recommended (AER) data, now Xiaomi 12 series and Redmi Note 12 5G will not get any new OTA update, security patch or feature update. This means that all these devices have now officially fallen into the End-of-Life (EOL) category and will not be provided with any further software support.
This List In Xiaomi 12 And Xiaomi 12 Pro These include, which were updated to Android 15 and HyperOS 3.0, which will now be their final version. Xiaomi 12 Lite got support up to Android 14 and HyperOS 1.0, while Redmi Note 12 5G Stopped at Android 14 and HyperOS 2.0. According to the company, all these devices have now reached the end of their update cycle.
XiaomiTime according toNot only time but also hardware limitation is being said to be a major reason behind this decision. Especially the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor used in Xiaomi 12 series is already known for thermal issues and high power consumption. In such a situation, this chipset is not considered capable of providing stable performance with new and heavy software updates.
The company says that as HyperOS is becoming more advanced and equipped with AI features, it is becoming difficult to run it on these older processors. This can make the user experience worse instead of better, such as problems like overheating or performance drops.
In such a situation, Xiaomi has decided to stop updates for these devices, so that users do not get bad or unstable software experience. Although users who have these smartphones can still use their devices, they will not get any further security updates or new features.
