As we know, we cannot want endless support for the smartphones we own. That would be nice but on the one hand processor manufacturers don't allow this, on the other hand individual companies have to leave the older models behind. For this, Redmi and Xiaomi also have their unsupported smartphones that are added to the "black list" published on the Official site every year. Let's see what we just added.
Xiaomi has expanded the list of its and Redmi's smartphones that will not update and will no longer be supported: Redmi Note 8, Redmi Note 8T, Xiaomi Mi 9 Pro 5G, Mi 9 Lite
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. That said, we know that Redmi Note 8, Redmi Note 8T, Mi 9 Pro 5G, Mi 9 Lite they have been added to the EOL list and therefore will not be supported or updated at this time. To be honest, they hadn't received any updates for several months.

But what does it mean for a user that a smartphone is no longer supported? For users, the term EOL can mean that the product becomes obsolete, insecure or no longer compatible with other technologies and standards. Many companies publish EOL statements for their products to help customers plan for the upgrade or the migration to alternative solutions.
