Consequences for users
As support ends, these models will not receive additional operating system and security updates, although they may continue to be used normally. However, this could pose a risk, as Xiaomi will not provide fixes for future vulnerabilities found in both software and hardware.
Despite this, the company stressed that if a serious security vulnerability is discovered, it may still provide the necessary security patches, even if the device is on the list of those without support.
The models POCO X3, POCO X3 NFC, Xiaomi Mi 10T and Mi 10T Pro were launched in the second half of 2020, a period in which Xiaomi maintained a policy of three years of Android updates. Over time, the policy has evolved, and the models more recent they now benefit from four upgrades of the operating system and five years of security updates.
