The maker says support for this model has ended, though products sold in the market noted in the record may still be covered for a while.
The maker’s pages disagree: it says support for this model has ended, but its minimum support period for products sold in Singapore still runs until at least March 27, 2028.

The maker lists this model as end-of-life without a date, so I show it as ended.
