As is obvious, software support cannot be eternal. Although in recent years all the producers (with some exceptions) have intensified their efforts in this sense, the moment of the end of the updates arrives for all smartphones and tablets: thanks to the page proposed by Xiaomi on its official website, we learn about theimminent interruption of the support for eight smartphones of the various brands, between Xiaomi itself, Redmi And Little.

No more updates for these eight Xiaomi smartphones, Redmi and little
This month eight Xiaomi devices officially end the cycle of software updates: from now on, new firmware will no longer be distributed on the models in question, unless exceptions due to serious problems or distribution to the photo finish between here and the specific dates. The following models are involved in the speech:
- Redmi A1 and Redmi A1+
- Little C50
- Xiaomi 11t and Xiaomi 11t pro
- Xiaomi 11 Lite 5g ne
- Little M5
- Redmi 11 Prime 4G
The exact point of no return for Redmi A1, Redmi A1+ And Little C50 It is fixed for the 23 September 2025. These models have made their debut with Miui 13 and Android 12 and are not in fact receiving updates for a while: from here to the date a “final” update could also arrive, but given the attention received in this sense by the manufacturer, it now seems unlikely to us.
Similar speech for two higher band models such as Xiaomi 11t And Xiaomi 11t pro: for them the end of the support is always set for September 23, 2025, and they conclude their path with Hyperos (in the first version) and Android 14. These two models received regular updates during the three years of official support, receiving security patches and new features, seasoned by the transition from Miui to Hyperos.
Remaining on the same main brand, we also have Xiaomi 11 Lite 5g newhich will remain at Hyperos 2 and Android 14: this model has received rather substantial software support, and has a more updated version of Hyperos also compared to higher -end devices.
Finally, let’s go back to the house little and Redmi because they approach the end of the support too Little M5 (September 6, 2025) e Redmi 11 Prime 4Gboth equipped with the first version of Hyperos and Android 14. Lanted in 2022, these models were able to enjoy a support of about three years, but with not too constant and numerous updates.
One of the next To end the official support period will be Redmi Pad: the tablet was launched in early October 2022, and in a few weeks (5 October 2025) will reach the fateful ending date of the life cycle (EOL, End-Of-Life).
What to do now?
If you are owners of one of the smartphones mentioned above, you can start evaluating the purchase of a new modelso as to stay safe with more recent security patches. You don’t necessarily have to throw them away, but our advice is not to wait too long before starting to think about the gearbox: the more time passes, the more vulnerability remain potentially to the open. Before the end of the support of the various Google Play Store apps (such as WhatsApp) it will still take a long time, especially for the models that have arrived up to Android 14.
