Xiaomi has given a big shock to the users. The company has put some of its devices in the End of Life list. The company will no longer roll out any software or security updates for the devices included in this list. That is, no new feature will be released by the company for these devices. The names of the devices included in the list are – Xiaomi MIX 4, Xiaomi Pad 5 Pro, Xiaomi Pad 5, Poco F3 GT, Poco F3 and Redmi K40. According to the report, these smartphones and tabs were entered in Xiaomi’s End of Life list on August 27.
The risk of hacking increases
Companies decide the life of new devices while launching them. During this period, OS updates and security patches are rolled out for the devices from time to time. At the same time, using the devices listed in the end of life list without OS and security updates can prove to be dangerous for the users because these devices can be hacked by hackers very easily.
Xiaomi stops support after 2 to 3 years
Xiaomi usually decides to stop OS and security updates 2 to 3 years after the launch of a new device. After this time period, the company uses its resources and engineering support for new devices. The devices that Xiaomi has included in this list this time were very popular in their time. Like Xiaomi Mix 4 was known for its new design and powerful performance at that time. Similarly, Poco F3 GT and F3 offer tremendous performance at an affordable price.

Discontinuation of support is part of the technology cycle
Ending support for devices is a part of the technology cycle, so that the company can focus on new products and their technology. Let us tell you that ending support does not mean that these phones and smartphones will no longer work. You can still continue to use these devices as before, but the new features provided by the company in the update will no longer reach your device.
