Xiaomi extends smartphone and tablet support to 5 years
Chinese manufacturer Xiaomi has officially expanded its support program for smartphones and tablets across the Xiaomi, Redmi, and POCO brands. Instead of the usual 3–4 years, some devices will now receive HyperOS and Android updates for up to five years. This includes major operating system upgrades, regular security patches, and ongoing system improvements.
This decision fits into broader market trends, where manufacturers are extending device lifecycles and aligning with regulatory requirements in different regions.
Previously, short software support cycles were one of the key drawbacks of Chinese brands, even in the flagship segment. In the best-case scenario, Xiaomi, Redmi, or POCO smartphones received 2–3 major Android updates followed by a limited period of security patches, after which official support effectively ended.

If your smartphone doesn’t last until the evening, it’s no longer just about an “old battery.” In 2026, battery drain is caused by system processes, […]
Compared to Samsung and Google, which have gradually moved toward 4–7 years of updates, this was a clear weakness—especially for users who buy a smartphone for long-term use rather than a single upgrade cycle. As a result, Chinese manufacturers often lost not on hardware, but on the long-term value of their devices.
Extending support to five years is not a cosmetic policy change, but a break from the old model that had limited trust in Chinese brands for years. This move significantly reshapes how Xiaomi, Redmi, and POCO are perceived in the global market.

What five years of support looks like in practice
Realme P4s Lite: Specs, Price and Release Date of the 7000 mAh Budget Phone
Realme P4s Lite combines a 7000 mAh battery, 120 Hz display, and IP64 protection. It is a durable budget smartphone with Google Gemini built for maximum daily autonomy and reliability.
Five years of support is not an abstract promise or a marketing figure in the specifications. It means that a Xiaomi smartphone or tablet does not freeze on a single system version shortly after purchase. Instead, it continues to receive updates alongside the broader ecosystem and remains part of an up-to-date software environment.
For everyday users, this translates into a device that stays suitable for daily tasks much longer. HyperOS updates continue, and users are not forced to replace their smartphone simply because their Android version has become outdated.
Under this extended support policy, devices receive:
- HyperOS and Android updates with transitions to new system versions;
- regular security and stability fixes;
- new features and optimizations throughout the support period.

For flagship smartphones and tablets, security patches often continue for some time even after major system updates end.

Below is the list of Xiaomi, Redmi, and POCO smartphones and tablets that, according to official data, will receive HyperOS support for up to five years (through 2031–2032).
