What it means now that support ends
- 🔓 Security risk grows monthly. New vulnerabilities are discovered constantly; on an unsupported phone they are never fixed. Banking, payments, email, and password apps become progressively riskier.
- 📱 Apps drop off. Developers raise their minimum OS requirements over time — first you lose updates to apps, then the apps themselves.
- 💸 Resale value falls fast.The market prices support: once a phone leaves a manufacturer's update list, its used value drops sharply and keeps falling.

More questions about the Poco F3
How long will the Poco F3 get updates?
The F3 received roughly two Android upgrades (up to Android 13/MIUI 14) and has now reached end-of-life, so it no longer gets security patches (estimated end of support 2024).
Does the Poco F3 have an ultra-wide camera?
Yes, it has a 48MP main and an 8MP ultra-wide, plus a 5MP telemacro; the ultra-wide and main are the cameras worth using.
Is the Poco F3 still fast in 2026?
For everyday tasks and many games it remains responsive thanks to the Snapdragon 870, but the lack of updates limits it to budget secondary-phone duty.
