With the aim of saving a few euros, many are those who usually resort to buying mobile devices from past generations. This is not always right since Xiaomi usually limits its support after a few years.
Specifically, we want to talk about end of life of a smartphone. Once Xiaomi announces the end of life of a particular model, it is no longer supported and therefore, does not receive new security updates again, let alone MIUI updates.
Although the end of support of a device may seem irrelevant, having a smartphone that no longer receives security patches it can jeopardize our privacy, giving as a result that malicious persons may have access to our data, photographs, videos or any other document that we have stored. It is therefore that It is convenient to check if a particular device that we want to buy is still supported or against, has reached the end of its useful life.
