Why is the Redmi Note 5 EOL?

[Spill]

Hi there,

why is the Redmi Note 5 already EOL and the Mi Max 3 still get updates?
Both got the same hardware, except screen and battery, right?

Whats the reason for this?

Switch to custom rom if you want updates.
Deal with it. I'm xiaomi.eu user many years, have 3 Xiaomi phones...but sadly, there's support only about 2 years for those mid range phones.
Luckuly, custom support is awesome for our phone, and I don't wanna sold my yet.

I didn't asked for updates, i wanted to know, why there is a difference between two devices, which are nearly the same.

Redmi note 5 is a Redmi series phone, Mi max 3 is a Mi series phone. Mi series phones get more support and these phones more frequented for Xiaomi.
