Xiaomi HyperOS 3.0 release date, device update list

Xiaomi HyperOS 3.0 is third generation operating system based on Android 16 with native support for Google’s Android 15, which will be released in autumn 2025.

Xiaomi, REDMI, POCO phones and tablets that do not support Android 15 will not receive the HyperOS 3.0 update.

HyperOS 3.0 release date

The official release date of HyperOS 3 has not yet been announced, but on August 28, 2025, the first public beta version of the new operating system was presented to the public. The update has been announced.

Xiaomi traditionally releases its updates in several stages: first comes internal testing, where company employees check the system, then a limited circle of users gains access to the closed beta. These stages have already been completed.

After that comes the public beta testing stage, where a wide audience can try the system, leave feedback, and help developers identify bugs. Only after fixing issues and stabilizing the firmware does the company release the final stable version, available for mass updates.

Currently, HyperOS 3 is at the public beta stage. Based on Xiaomi’s experience and past update cycles, collecting feedback and fixing major bugs usually takes 6 to 8 weeks. Therefore, the final release of HyperOS 3 can be expected in October 2025.

Release schedule of previous versions:

• HyperOS 1.0 was officially presented on October 26, 2023 (based on Android 14 with support for 13).
• HyperOS 2.0 was released on October 29, 2024 (based on Android 15 with support for 14).
• HyperOS 3.0 — expected October 2025 (based on Android 16 with support for 15).

After the end of the MIUI era, developers rethought their approach to major updates and began releasing them consistently at the end of the year, with the annual presentation taking place in mid-autumn.

As in previous years, the presentation will showcase the Chinese version of the system shell. The global rollout of HyperOS 3 will begin 1–2 months after the official presentation of the Chinese version.

From this we can conclude when the global HyperOS 3 will be released in India – Q1 2026. The Indian version is usually released together with the global or European version.

The first to receive the update will be Xiaomi, REDMI and POCO flagships, after which the firmware will be gradually rolled out to mid-range smartphones and tablets. In the second half of 2026, all other eligible devices will be updated.

HyperOS 3 device list

The company has already opened the recruitment of testers through the Internal Testing Center in the Xiaomi Community app, where users can register and download the build.

The recruitment for each model goes in two phases: users in the first batch will start receiving updates from August 29, while testers in the second batch will get the update within 10 days after the first batch rollout.

The company emphasizes that the beta version may contain bugs, so testers are asked to actively provide feedback to help improve the stable release.

It is reliably known that Android 16 is already being tested on the Xiaomi MIX Flip, Xiaomi 14T Pro, Xiaomi 15, Xiaomi 15 Pro, Xiaomi 15 Ultra, Redmi K70 Ultra phones and Xiaomi Pad 7 Pro tablets. These devices will be among the first to receive HyperOS 3.0.

There’s also an official AER list showing which eligible devices will be updated to which version of Android. If Android 16 support is claimed, then the phone is guaranteed to get HyperOS 3.

Xiaomi HyperOS 3.0 eligible devices​ listed below.

Where the rest of the phones are and why only these moguls made the list, we have detailed on Xiaomi’s update status page. You can also follow the release of new Xiaomi firmware for HyperOS 3 at this link.

It is important to note that not all of the above phones will receive the Android 16 update. For example, the Xiaomi 13 Lite will not get Android 16, but since HyperOS 3 natively supports version 15, the smartphone will be updated.

The Xiaomi 12 range won’t be fully updated, as support for the Xiaomi 12X has officially ended and the maximum version for the Xiaomi 12 Lite is Android 14 (HyperOS 3.0 doesn’t support it).

Older smartphones and tablets, including the Xiaomi Pad 6S Pro 12.4, will continue to run on the previous generation of the operating system.

Which REDMI phones will get HyperOS 3.0

• REDMI K80, REDMI K80 Pro
• Redmi K70, Redmi K70E, Redmi K70 Pro, Redmi K70 Ultra
• Redmi K60, Redmi K60E, Redmi K60 Pro, Redmi K60 Ultra
• REDMI Note 15 5G, REDMI Note 15 Pro 5G, REDMI Note 15 Pro Plus 5G
• Redmi Note 14 4G, Redmi Note 14 5G, Redmi Note 14S, Redmi Note 14 Pro 4G, Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G, Redmi Note 14 Pro Plus 5G

• Redmi 13, Redmi 13 5G, Redmi 13C, Redmi 13C 5G, Redmi 13R 5G
• Redmi 12, Redmi 12 5G
• Redmi A4 5G, Redmi A3 Pro
• Redmi Pad 2, Redmi Pad 2 4G, Redmi Pad Pro, Redmi Pad Pro 5G, Redmi Pad SE 8.7 4G, Redmi Pad SE 8.7 5G
• REDMI K Pad

Why the list of compatible models only includes these devices is explained on the REDMI update tracker page. Here you can follow the release of new REDMI HyperOS 3 firmware.

The Redmi K50 series smartphones will not receive HyperOS 3. Perhaps the exception will only be made for the Redmi K50 Ultra, we will have to wait for official information.

The Redmi Note 12 series will be partially updated: for the Redmi Note 12 5G, 12 Pro 5G and 12 Pro Plus 5G, the maximum version is Android 14, which is not supported by the new HyperOS 3. The situation is similar for the Redmi Pad and Redmi Pad SE tablets. Forget about the older Redmi Note models, as well as the Redmi 12C and the rest of the oldies.

The Redmi Note 12 Pro 4G and Redmi Note 12R are on MIUI 13 and the chances of them getting an update are next to nil.

The Redmi A3 and A3x run on Android Go and are therefore not eligible for the update.

Which POCO phones will get HyperOS 3.0

• POCO F7, POCO F7 Pro, POCO F7 Ultra
• POCO F6, POCO F6 Pro
• POCO X7, POCO X7 Pro
• POCO X6 Pro 5G
• POCO C75, POCO C75 5G
• POCO M7 4G, POCO M7 Plus 5G, POCO M7 5G, POCO M7 Pro 5G
• POCO M6, POCO M6 Plus 5G
• POCO Pad, POCO Pad 5G

Why only these devices are listed is explained on the POCO update tracker page. Here you can track the release of new POCO HyperOS 3 firmware.

There are questions about M6 series phones (POCO M6 Pro 4G, POCO M6 5G, POCO M6 Pro 5G) and F5 series phones (POCO F5, POCO F5 Pro), we have to wait for official information. The situation is similar with the POCO X6 Neo 5G.

POCO C55 and older models will continue to run on the current OS as they don’t even support Android 15.

The POCO C61 smartphone runs on pure Android Go and therefore does not need to be updated.

On our website there is an end of support date listed for many devices. This is the official date when the phone will no longer receive security updates. It has nothing to do with the move to HyperOS 3.0!

You will be able to download HyperOS 3.0 from the links on our website in the second half of 2025, as soon as the first stable versions of official firmware and OTA updates are released.

HyperOS 3.0: What’s new

Xiaomi HyperOS 3 has received significant visual and functional changes, including an improved desktop, expanded lock screen customization, and a new interactive Super Island panel.

Xiaomi claims that HyperOS 3 delivers up to a 30% performance improvement compared to the previous version — this includes better energy efficiency, smoother interface operation, and faster touch response and app launches. As part of the update, Xiaomi engineers redesigned more than 100 animations, reducing rendering load and improving animation stability.

An example of reduced power consumption when playing short videos:

Xiaomi Super Island is an analogue of Apple’s Dynamic Island, but with notable improvements. Instead of the usual format where notifications line up in a queue or hide in the status bar, here they turn into interactive “islands.” Up to three such elements can be displayed on the screen at the same time, which is convenient when handling multiple tasks simultaneously.

Super Island allows you to interact with notifications without being distracted from your current activities. For example, while chatting in a messenger, you can simultaneously see the delivery status, track flight information, or answer an incoming call directly in a separate “island.” Important notifications remain visible and do not get lost among other messages.

Additionally, there is a feature to “pull out” a notification: you can expand the necessary information over other apps and then easily minimize it back. For instance, a boarding pass at the airport, a ticket QR code, or a travel route will always be at hand without the need to switch between apps.

The lock screen has received expanded customization options: different clock styles and wallpapers are available, including dynamic backgrounds created with AI.

The Gallery app in HyperOS 3 has gained new photo sorting options and can now recognize dog and cat faces, automatically creating a separate album for pets.

Tablets have received more flexible window management, making multitasking easier. Transferring photos, videos, files, and Wi-Fi passwords between two Xiaomi, Redmi, or POCO smartphones is now possible with just a simple tap between devices.

HyperOS 3 also introduces a feature to cast the smartphone screen to a Mac or iPad with mouse control — an analogue of the AirPlay function on iPhone and macOS. It works through the Xiaomi Internet Service app on iPadOS and macOS.

Another iOS-inspired feature: after the update, Xiaomi smartphones can be tracked on a map even if they are turned off.

What’s new in HyperOS 3:

1. Liquid Glass UI — a new visual interface style inspired by “liquid glass” effects: includes translucent panels, background blur, soft reflections, and shine, creating a sense of depth and smoothness, as if interface elements are made of glass gliding over a surface.
2. Updated Control Center — redesigned quick access panel with improved structure, updated toggles, and smoother animations; elements are grouped into logical blocks, the interface is closer to iOS but retains Xiaomi’s signature style.
3. Search Bar Removal — the Google search bar is no longer fixed on the home screen, freeing up space for custom widgets, icons, and making the interface more minimalist.
4. Based on Android 16 — the system is built on Android 16, giving access to the latest security features, new APIs, improved power efficiency, and support for the newest Android infrastructure standards.
5. Smart Island UI — an interface element at the top of the screen that dynamically shows active processes: incoming calls, timers, music playback controls, and app notifications. The island adjusts its shape depending on the type of activity, allowing users to interact with key tasks without switching apps.
6. Live Updates — the ability to see app updates (like weather, delivery, messages) directly on icons or widgets without opening the apps — everything works in real time.
7. New Photo Picker — a modern image selection tool unified across apps: allows quick finding, sorting, and securing access to specific photos without granting access to the entire gallery.
8. Privacy Sandbox — a privacy protection system that limits third-party app data collection; offers detailed ad ID management and prevents hidden tracking.
9. Cloud Compilation — a cloud compilation technology where heavy processing (e.g., app launches) is partially offloaded to the cloud, speeding up the system and reducing CPU load.
10. AI Features (HyperMind) — a set of intelligent tools, including automatic text suggestions, text generation, predictive actions, and photo editing via neural networks; the system adapts to user habits.
11. Battery Optimization — a new AI-powered background task management model that pauses unnecessary processes, predicts activity, and adjusts power usage in real time to extend battery life.
12. Camera Improvements — new modes added, including hybrid auto-exposure (light adaptation), manual white balance, Motion Photo (photo with short video), and Ultra HDR support for brighter shots.
13. Game Turbo 2.0 — an enhanced gaming mode that stabilizes FPS, reduces device heating, offers extended performance settings, and blocks notifications during gameplay.
14. Device Integration — easy connection and control of other Xiaomi devices (phones, tablets, headphones, etc.), including file dragging between screens and support for Auracast and LE Audio for multimedia.
15. Themed Icons — adaptive icons that automatically match the system color scheme and wallpaper, creating a consistent visual style across screens.
16. Customizable photo album layouts for quick content search.
17. Adaptive alarm clock with personalized cycles, convenient for shift schedules.
18. AI-powered content recognition with quick access to relevant apps.
19. Instant unread message clearing with a single tap.
20. Instant device lock by double-tapping the screen.
21. Advanced creative camera tools — new watermark styles, built-in photo editing, improved AI scene recognition, and optimized settings.
22. Enhanced portrait mode and zoom with smooth scaling, offering more realistic depth and detail.
23. API Vulkan — integration of the Vulkan engine for smoother graphics and better performance in games and the interface.
24. Adaptive refresh rate and support for full-screen apps, including Ultra HDR support.
25. Support for new audio and video codecs for high-quality playback and recording.

Xiaomi also plans to abandon the standard Google Phone (Google Dialer) app. According to recent leaks, Xiaomi is preparing to introduce its own dialer in firmware updates, featuring a refreshed design, smoother animations, and a unified interface style integrated with Xiaomi’s ecosystem services, including Mi Cloud and Xiaomi Contacts.

In line with industry trends, manufacturers such as Samsung, Vivo, and OnePlus have already replaced Google Dialer with their own solutions, offering features unavailable in Google’s version — such as automatic call recording and flexible regional settings. With Google discontinuing support for AOSP versions of the “Dialer” and “Messaging” apps, OEM developers are being pushed to build their own alternatives, and Xiaomi appears to be following this path.

The closer we get to the release of HyperOS 3.0, the more new features we’ll be able to see. We’ll see if it’s worth upgrading when it’s released. But don’t expect anything radically new, as the new OS will be a direct successor to the second generation, with the introduction of Android 16 features.

This material will be updated regularly. Stay tuned for updates!
