This device has expired. Now what?
No more security updates will ever arrive for the Xiaomi 12. If it's your daily phone, the safest move is to replace it — ideally with a model that stays supported for years. The old one still makes a fine offline camera, alarm clock or backup device.
The Xiaomi 12 in detail
How many years of updates does the Xiaomi 12 get?
Released in March 2022, the Xiaomi 12 received security patches until January 2026: 3 years and 10 months in total.
Among the 118 Xiaomi phones in our database, 42 were supported for less time and 74 for longer. The median is 4 years.
Across all brands, the median for phones is 4 years.
The last patch came out 9 months ago.
Can I keep using the Xiaomi 12?
Yes, it still works. But every security hole found after January 2026 stays open. For daily use with banking, messaging and passwords, a supported device is the safer choice. As a spare without your main accounts (alarm clock, music player, camera), it's still useful. Do a factory reset before you give it away or recycle it.
