Xiaomi has rolled out a list of legacy devices that includes popular models such as the Xiaomi 11 Lite and the Poco F3, according to the Gizchina portal. The compilation of older smartphones also features the Xiaomi Mi 10s, the F3 GT, the X3 GT, and the Redmi K40 Pro and K40 Pro+. These devices will no longer receive fresh firmware updates featuring new Android versions or the latest MIUI shell. In some cases, updates may still arrive if development work has already begun for a particular build, but this is not guaranteed for all affected models.
Being on the legacy list means that security patches will not be released for these devices. As a result, certain system vulnerabilities may remain unpatched, increasing the risk to user data and overall device safety. Users relying on these smartphones should consider upgrading to a newer device or exploring alternative update paths that still receive ongoing security support, if available through regional programs or official channels.
Earlier coverage from Socialbites.ca indicated that the Xiaomi 13 Ultra, a flagship model focused on photography, enjoyed immediate interest after its launch, briefly climbing the bestseller charts before returning to store levels. This context underscores how consumer demand for flagship capabilities often contrasts with the longer-term software support lifecycle visible in legacy devices.
