If you are using a phone of Xiaomi, Redmi or Poco and thinking how long it will be safe and how long will the new Android features come in it, then there is a good news for you: Xiaomi has strengthened its software-port. In 2025, the company has publicly expanded its support commitments to the increasing number of devices – promised security updates up to six years (and a limited number of major OS upgrade for many models). This means that the phone will last longer, will get less surprise, and better resail and environmental value. But whether your model is eligible for this, it depends on the lineup and field.
What Xiaomi is promising
Security updates for up to six years.
These are monthly/quarterly safety patch that fix the weaknesses and keep your phone safe. For qualified phones, Xiaomi gives these patch guarantee for a period of many years, which may increase to 2030–2031 for models released in 2024–2025.
Major Android (OS) upgrade
dependent on the model. The number of full Android-version upgrade (for example: Android 14 → 15 → 16) varies according to the model. Some new flagship devices have a maximum of four major OS upgrade, while medium-grains may decrease in devices. In short: six years usually refer to security aid; OS upgrade are generous but limited and vary according to the device.
Which devices are eligible?
Xiaomi has not applied a uniform promise of six years on each phone he has sold – the company has been selective, and Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO’s flagships and many popular mid -range models have been included in this program.
Media outlets and Xiaomi’s product-supports list pageable devices; Examples clearly mentioned in reporting include Xiaomi 15 series, Poco F7 Family.
Redmi Note 14 and some Xiaomi Pad models (Pad 7 / Pad 7 Pro). This is a growing, developed list rather than a fixed list of one time.
If you want the official, up -to -date position for a particular SKU, Xiaomi’s official product software support information page lists the support dates for each model – it is the best place to verify whether your device has been covered or not.

Xiaomi’s Update Policy
Security patches
Six years are usually associated with security updates. Major operating systems upgrade (new Android version, hyperoS feature set) are usually in low numbers and are usually limited (usually up to 3-4 major upgrades for new flagships). Do not imagine a six -year period for an absolutely new Android feature.
Region and carrier variations.
Rollouts are often done in a phased manner at the regional level and sometimes the carriers also have their own time. The global deadline that you have read can come in your country later (or can be changed). For example, HyperoS rollouts have been implemented in 2025 in a phased manner in various regions and device groups.
Older devices may be limited to security patches only.
Some older and entry-level models may receive security fixes for extended windows but won’t get additional major OS upgrades. Community chatter and official product pages usually make that distinction clear.

Verdict
Xiaomi’s move to give updates up to six years for many devices is a major achievement for users – this improves security, reduces customer number, and Xiaomi’s phones prove to be better investment for a long time.
However, “six years” often mean safety patches, while large OS upgrade models remain.
To be sure about your phone, see Xiaomi’s official product assistance list or your phone’s system-update screen-this will make you know the exact time-limit of your device.
