Xiaomi announces end of support for Redmi Note 9s

According to Xiaomi, these are the models that will no longer have brand support:

Of the models mentioned, the most recent is the Mi Note 10 Lite, launched in April 2020 with Android 10 out of the box. Many people were disappointed with the news, as they expected the model to receive MIUI 14 before its support ended. Among its specifications, the device was equipped with the Snapdragon 730G processor, has a 6.47-inch AMOLED screen, 5,260 mAh battery and 64 MP triple camera.

The other models, that is, devices from the Redmi Note 9 and Redmi Note 9S line, lost support with the arrival of June. From now on, no updates will be performed. The last updates released for these devices were security-oriented, being made available in April and May 2023.

My cell phone is on the list. What should I do?

From the moment the company ends support for a given device, it becomes vulnerable to new bugs, security flaws and other problems that can affect the usability of the device. If your cell phone is on the list, Xiaomi’s recommendation is that you consider switching to a newer model that can offer you adequate security.

The recommendation from Oficina da Net is that before you buy a new cell phone, make sure of the support time it has available. To help you with this task, we went after the main smartphone manufacturers on the market to understand their update policy. To keep the device for as long as possible, the best option is to invest in models from the line Galaxy S or Galaxy A from Samsung, which may have up to four years of system upgrade and five years of security.

A Xiaomi ensures three years update for most of its best-known models, and the Motorola Prioritizes only line models Edgebeing able to receive three years update. Unfortunately, any model in the line Moto G receive only an android update. To learn more, check out the video below:
