Xiaomi will continue to officially support the device.
Weekly MIUI builds have stopped. (Normal for age of device)
Stable/Quarterly builds will continue.
January 2023 build is, "POCO F2 Pro EEA V13.0.8.0.SJKEUXM", which is MIUI 13/Android 12.
Xiaomi intends to release an Android 12 build with MIUI 14 for this device in the first quarter of 2023, it is currently in a testing phase.
The device is not slated to receive any official Android 13 builds or higher.
It is EVENTUAL that the device will stop being supported officially at some point.
Accept that.
However, if you do have the device and really want to keep it alive much longer that it is supported then your only option is to unlock your bootloader and flash a custom ROM.
>
On XDA, in the device's pages, there are multiple threads with many builds.
In addition you can find really informative guides in the entire process of bootloader unlocking, flashing, rooting, etc there as well.
Take this for example;

CHRF2PRO, 19 Jan 2023Is it official? No update to Android 13 for F2 Pro?I'm 101% sure there's no Android 13 update for the Poco F2 Pro. Xiaomi can't even provide monthly security updates for the Poco F2 Pro, how much more major software updates like Android 13 or 14. If you are concerned with updates and security (that is, if you use credit card or banking transactions on your phone), AVOID ALL XIAOMI phones at all costs.
Get an upper midrange A series Samsung phone like the A53. Samsung A5X series phones starting with the A53 last year will get guaranteed 4 major Android software updates and 5 years of guaranteed security updates. And they cost much less than the Poco F2 Pro ever was. Even Google's Pixel phones can't beat it. The latest Pixel phones (Pixel 7 and 7 Pro) only get 3 major Android software updates.

Lana, 05 Nov 2022Hi everyone, Anyone here would love to upgrade poco f2 pro... moreNo to Xiaomi ever again. Monthly security updates were very irregular: initially it was 2-3 months late, but after a year, it had become more than 6 months! It had only 2 major software updates and they were absolutely horrendous and buggy! The best software was Android 10/MIUI 10, the one it came with. Android 11 and 12 were absolutely terrible. Just before the first year, my Poco F2 pro charging failed. I had the phone repaired and fixed. It's a known factory defect but Xioami never acknowledged it. No recalls were made. Then on the first year and a half, I had the SIM 2 not recognized problem. Only one SIM slot worked. Finally, on the second year, the underdisplay fingerprint scanner failed. I still have this phone and it's approaching its third year. It is the 12th and last Xioami phone in our household. Never to Xiaomi ever again. Xioami quality control has deteriorated so much it's not worth getting any new Xioami phone no matter how cheap their price for the specs offered. Just not worth it. Get Samsung, Oneplus, Oppo, Vivo, iPhone, Pixel, whatever. Don't be duped into Xioami's high specs, low price sales talk. There's no aftersales at all.and Xiaomi doesn't care for its once diehard and loyal customers like me. Be warned!

nick, 11 Nov 2022Poco F2 Pro - 8GB, 256GB Only two major Android OS updat... moreWhat's wrong with you? Even Samsung that released the same year only get up to Android 12. Those that has more Android updates are Oneplus 8 and Pixel 5, but those are on different price point, and also not available everywhere too. Yes, next time pick that Oneplus or get Pixel series.

Andy, 20 Nov 2022Same here, I was very happy with this phone but at some poi... moreFor battery not charge issue here is the fix I have 2-3 of Poco f2 pro and fix it this way.
The fix is you need to open the back cover by use hot air blower. You need a little tool for soldering like electric one. when soldering tool get hot a bit at bottom near speaker end battery connector just sort of rubbing with hot soldering tool or I use little soldering wire tried soldering wire to connector but no need to really soldier it. I have 2-3 of Poco f2. I fix it myself this way. I done for few months now charge working fine.

In these two years, I have not had a problem with charging, and I charged it every day and several times, but if this is a problem with charging on many mobile phones, then it is a shame that after two years you have to throw away the mobile phone, if that happens to me, I will never buy a Xiaomi again, even though I still have a Redmi Note 4 that is working, but I don't use it.
