Xiaomi isn't known for updating its smartphone quite often, and most of its devices have limited software support cycle. Most devices reach their end of software support cycle within 3 years and in 2022, some of Xiaomi's popular devices from the Redmi lineup have completed their journey. Hence, in Xiaomi's latest updated list of devices being left for good, some of the popular Redmi devices from 2019 are let go of software support. Most of these devices can be still found in use and those using these phones should look to upgrade.

The updated list of EOS devices now include some the most popular Redmi devices you can find around. Xiaomi won't be giving the MIUI 13 updates to these devices as well as the software security patch. Hence, those concerned with privacy and security should look to upgrade their device to a newer model. As of now, Xiaomi is among the very few brands with the least number of software updates, even for its high-end devices.

These Redmi devices won't get future MIUI 13 updates

As part of the list, here are all the devices that won't get any future update:

Redmi 7

Redmi Note 7

Redmi Note 7S

Redmi Note 7 Pro

Redmi K20

Redmi Y3

Mi 9 SE

Mi Play

Mi Pad 4

Mi Pad 4 Plus

In this list, the Redmi K20 belongs from the premium range of Redmi devices, and was essentially the same as the Redmi K20 Pro, except for the chipset. It is surprising to see the Redmi K20 Pro not being part of this list, considering the phone was launched alongside the standard variant. The K20 Pro was Xiaomi's flagship in India in 2019 and was succeeded by the Xiaomi Mi 10 5G in 2020.

Some other Xiaomi devices that were dropped from software support include Redmi Note 6 Pro, Redmi 6 Pro, Redmi 6, Redmi 6a, Redmi Note 5A, Redmi Note 5, Redmi Note 4X, Redmi Note 4, Redmi Note 4, Redmi Note 2 Pro, Redmi Note 2, Redmi Note 1S, Redmi Note 1, Redmi 5 Plus, Redmi 5A, Redmi 5, Redmi 4A, Redmi 4X, Redmi 4, Redmi 3X, Redmi 3S, Redmi 3, Redmi 2A, Redmi 2, Redmi 1S, Redmi 1, Redmi S2, and Redmi Y2.
