Last Chance for Xiaomi 12 and Xiaomi 12 Pro Users in Indonesia...
Xiaomi is issuing the final update for the Xiaomi 12 and Xiaomi 12 Pro, the duo of flagship smartphones that debuted at the end of 2021. These smartphones have actually been on the end-of-life (EOL) list since January 2026. Devices on that list have reached the end of the company’s support period, meaning they will no longer receive operating system updates or security patches from Xiaomi. However, Xiaomi is now releasing the final update, in the form of a patch based on HyperOS (Android 15) for the Xiaomi 12 and Xiaomi 12 Pro. This update is being rolled out to users of both flagship handsets in Indonesia, India, Turkey, Russia, and Taiwan. Through this update, Xiaomi is refining the system’s handling of background processes and managing resources more efficiently. Ultimately, this mechanism will prevent the sudden termination of applications. These efforts are also aimed at ensuring that the Xiaomi 12 and Xiaomi 12 Pro remain stable and reliable for everyday use, even though they will no longer receive updates in the future. Users of the Xiaomi 12 and Xiaomi 12 Pro in Indonesia will receive firmware version OS3.0.3.0.VLBIDXM or OS3.0.2.0.VLCIDXM. Versions will vary by region. It should be noted that this is the final update for the Xiaomi 12 and Xiaomi 12 Pro. Both handsets are also on the list of devices that will no longer receive update support. However, the biggest risk lies in security aspects. Without the latest security patches, devices become more vulnerable to vulnerabilities (bugs) and cyber attacks. In the long term, some sensitive applications, such as mobile banking or digital wallets, may flag the device as “unsafe” and restrict access. Therefore, users of Xiaomi handsets on the EOL list in 2026 are advised to start considering upgrading their devices or at least increasing vigilance when using applications that store important data. In other words, although the phone can still be used, the device’s lifespan has simply expired, and it may no longer be safe for daily use.
