Xiaomi has added the Redmi 8 and POCO X2 (Redmi K30) to its ever-growing end-of-support (EOS) product list. In addition to those two popular smartphones, the most recent members of the dreaded list also include the Redmi 8A and the Redmi K30 5G. There are now 90 Mi and Redmi-branded smartphones that will no longer receive official software support.

but people still can use these old phones?

I use. 5" с IPS 1920x1080 without fucked hole in screen with Snap 8 series and 4k@30fps video record with IR transmitter, audio socker, 802.11ac 2x2 and with alarm RGB LED indicator.

Explain to me why I should use modern garbage with a flickering AMOLED with a hole in the screen or no RGB LED notification light?

How much should I buy a smartphone without a headphone socket? Or without 4k@60fps with OIS + IPS screen?

And why should I buy a shovel that doesn't even fit into my jacket pockets and sticks out?
