The talk of updates for smartphones Xiaomi e Redmi, but also for all those of other companies, it is a very particular matter. Most users think that it all depends on the individual companies: the reality is quite different. It is the processor manufacturers (Qualcomm, MediaTek and company) that "close the door" and no longer give developers access after a certain number of years. But having said that, let's see which Xiaomi and Redmi smartphones will no longer receive updates.
Goodbye updates for Xiaomi Mi 10 and Redmi Note 9 series: end of official support for them
As we learn from the Official site and how back Miuipolska through the highly prepared Kacper Skrzypek, there are 8 Xiaomi and Redmi smartphones that will no longer receive updates. Of course we talk about MIUI updates as well as security patches and various system updates. Here is the full list below:
- Xiaomi Mi 10
- Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro
- Xiaomi mi 10 ultra
- redmi 9
- Redmi 9A
- Redmi 9C
- Redmi Note 9
- Notes redmi 9 Pro
The list in question is called EOL. In technology, the acronym EOL stands for “End of life“, which means “end of life”. This term is used to indicate the end of life of a product, such as a software or hardware device, which means that the product will no longer be manufactured or supported actively by the manufacturer.

All is not lost
Currently, Mi 10 and Mi 10 Pro models are mainly supported by unofficial versions of Pixel Experience based on Android 13, with the most recent update dating back to early June of this year. As for the Redmi 9, the options are more numerous, given that in the last month a dozen different ROMs have been released for this device, all based on Android 13. Some of these can be identified as "lava", indicating that the ROM is compatible with both Redmi 9 and with POCO M2, but only for the Indian market.
For Redmi 9A and 9C models, the offer of Unofficial ROMs is currently quite sparse. Only recently was a version of LineageOS based on Android 13, compatible with all Redmi 9 series models under the common name of “blossom”. Despite this, it is possible that a custom ROM scene for these phones will develop in the future, although considering their age, this development is unlikely to continue over time.
The Redmi Note 9, similar to the Redmi 9, benefits from a extensive custom ROM support. These are available for this device under the codename "merlinx", as "merlin" is already used by a Motorola model. It is important to be careful not to install malicious software by mistake. Apart from this small difference, the installation process is very similar to that of the other models.
Finally, the Redmi Note 9 Pro offers a wide range of custom ROMs, although news of the most recent releases dates back to mid-April. ROMs for this model usually come with the code name “miatoll”, which indicates that they can be installed on both Redmi Note 9 Pro and Redmi Note 9S.
