My Infinix Phone Is No Longer Eligible for Android Updates — What Should I Do?

Your Infinix phone not receiving future Android OS upgrades doesn’t mean it’s useless — but it’s important to understand what it means and what your next steps should be.

What It Means

  • Your phone will still function normally and run most apps.

  • However, without new Android OS updates, you’ll:

    • Miss out on new features and design upgrades.

    • Be exposed to more security risks over time.

    • Experience gradual performance issues as the software ages.

What You Can Do

1. Upgrade to a Supported Model
Consider upgrading to a new Infinix smartphone eligible for 2 major Android upgrades and up to 3 years of security patches.

2. Explore Custom ROMs (Advanced Users)
Some developer communities release custom ROMs for Infinix devices. These may run the latest Android version even on unsupported phones. However, this requires technical knowledge and voids your warranty.

3. Keep Installing Security Patches
Even if major Android updates stop, your phone may still receive monthly or quarterly security patches. Always install them to reduce vulnerabilities, malware, data breaches, and exploits.

4. Practice Smart Device Usage

  • Avoid unknown download sources.
  • Stick to the Google Play Store and avoid shady links.
  • Stay alert to phishing, fake updates, or malware attacks.
