If you are also using an old Redmi or Poco smartphone, then this news may be important for you. Because Xiaomi has put some of its old Redmi and Poco mobiles in the EoL (End of Life) list. This means that now these smartphones will not get MIUI updates and Android security patches. But, this does not mean that your phone will suddenly stop working, but some problems may arise in the future. Let us know which phones are included in this list and what you should do.

Will the old Redmi phone be shut down?
Many people must be wondering if their old Redmi phone will stop working now? So the answer is “no”. Xiaomi has just stopped giving them new updates. That is –
- The phone will work as before
- There will be no hardware problem
- The camera, battery and processor will keep working
But, in the future when apps and software will be updated, then old Redmi and Poco phones will not be fully compatible with them. In such a situation, your phone may gradually become slow or miss some new features.
Should I change my phone now?
If you are fond of using the same phone for a long time, then you do not need to change the phone right now. But if you want your device to support new technology and security features, then you can consider upgrading.
If you want to change the phone now, then note:
- Buy a smartphone with 5G support
- Support the latest Android and MIUI updates
- Choose better battery and camera options
