As was predictable, the first to be affected by this “cleaning” are the entry-level models. Among the smartphones of Xiaomi In this price range to have come at the end of the software support we find Redmi A1, Little C50 And Redmi A1+already stopped for a long time with the Miui 13 based on Android 12. released on the market at a low price, these devices have received little attention from the manufacturer, as often happens for the models of this price range, therefore the news does not sound like a surprise.
Going up a little price, we find two mid -range smartphones: we are talking about Little M5 and of Redmi 11 Prime 4Gboth released in 2022 Xiaomithe updates in these years have been few and quite inconsistent.
In this price range we also find two little -known devices but which have had a fair success in the circle of fans: Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5g ne And Mi 11 le lewhich officially stop at Android 14 with Hyperos 2. These two devices have received discreet software support, receiving a more updated version of the Hyperos also compared to higher -end devices.
And it is precisely with the former flagships that we close this list. The latest devices of the Chinese brand to no longer be updated starting from this month are in fact Xiaomi 11t And Xiaomi 11t protwo devices from 2021 which have found great success. Both have been updated regularly during the three years of official support, receiving security patches, new features and the transition to Hyperos with the update to Android 14.
