Xiaomi’s official security update support page lists the end-of-support date for every Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO phone still in its program. We pull this list automatically for our firmware pages and checked it on November 9, 2026. Four phones reached the end of their security update period this autumn, and ten more will follow during 2027.
Phones whose support ends in autumn 2026
| Phone | Launched | End of security updates |
|---|---|---|

| POCO C65 | Nov 2023 | November 6, 2026 |

Xiaomi gave the 2022 flagships Xiaomi 12T and 12T Pro four years of security updates. The budget Redmi 13C and its twin POCO C65 got three. None of them is on the HyperOS 4 rollout schedule.
Phones that lose support in 2027

| POCO X5 5G | Feb 2023 | February 6, 2027 |
| Redmi A3 | Feb 2024 | February 21, 2027 |

| Redmi 12 | Jun 2023 | June 16, 2027 |
| Redmi 12 5G | Sep 2023 | September 1, 2027 |
The dates are exactly as Xiaomi lists them. Most of these phones get three or four years of security updates. The Redmi Pad Pro 5G is the only tablet among the 2027 models and has the shortest period, just under three years.
What “end of support” means for your phone
- No more monthly or quarterly security patches after the listed date. Xiaomi sometimes ships one last update shortly before or after the cut-off, so don’t be surprised by a final build.
- No new HyperOS versions. None of these phones is on the HyperOS 4 list, so their current major version is the last one.
- The phone keeps working, and apps keep running until their developers drop support for the Android version.
- The official firmware stays available. The last official Recovery and Fastboot ROMs remain on Xiaomi’s servers. You can use them to reinstall or unbrick the phone.
Download the last official firmware
We keep the latest official builds for these phones, with links straight to Xiaomi’s servers:
- Redmi 13C / POCO C65 firmware
- Redmi Note 12 firmware
- Redmi Note 12 Pro / Pro+ 5G firmware
- Redmi 12 firmware
- Redmi 12 5G / POCO M6 Pro 5G firmware
Every page also shows the support status that Xiaomi lists for that model. To keep getting Android updates after official support ends, the usual route is a custom ROM, which needs an unlocked bootloader. Before you flash anything older than your current build, check anti-rollback.
