Xiaomi is expected to release HyperOS 3.0 around September, which will be based on Android 16. This major upgrade is said to bring numerous changes across the system and introduce a suite of new features to enhance the software experience and make it more useful for users. However, as you may already know, the rollout doesn’t happen all at once. Instead, Xiaomi rolls out in batches, and here are the devices that will be the first to get the HyperOS 3 update.
Xiaomi will roll out HyperOS 3 update to these devices first
Xiaomi hasn’t announced the HyperOS 3 rollout timeline yet. The list we’ve shared below was prepared by the folks at Xiaomi Time.
- Xiaomi 15
- Xiaomi 15 Pro
- Xiaomi 15 Ultra
- Xiaomi 15T Pro
- Xiaomi 14T Pro
- Redmi K80 Ultra
- Redmi K70 Ultra
The upcoming Xiaomi 16 and Xiaomi 16 Pro will ship with HyperOS 3 (based on Android 16) right out of the factory.
Xiaomi typically rolls out major HyperOS updates starting with the newest flagship smartphones, and then gradually expands them to the remaining flagship models and mid-range phones. Budget devices need to wait a little longer to receive updates.
What to expect from HyperOS 3?
The next major upgrade for Xiaomi devices will bring many new features and enhancements from HyperOS 3. Additionally, it will include new features and changes directly from the development team at Google, as part of Android 16.
The HyperOS 3 upgrade is said to introduce Apple’s Dynamic Island-like feature with integration to many third-party apps. For the uninitiated, it’s an interactive UI element that shows live updates from apps such as food delivery, ride-hailing, and music, and lets you interact with them without needing to open the app.
The next major upgrade is also expected to bring UI changes, smoother animations, performance optimizations, and system stability improvements. Additionally, there may be new AI features, widgets, and more customizations for a more personalized experience.
Android Protection could also be part of this upgrade, which is an array of security features designed to protect users from online attacks, harmful apps, unsafe websites, scam calls, and other online threats. It could also introduce the Notification Cooldown feature, which lowers the volume and minimizes alerts when you receive multiple notifications from the same app in quick succession. For tablets and large-screen devices, there may be a new Desktop Windowing feature that offers a desktop-like multitasking experience, allowing users to open, group, and resize multiple app windows.
We are possibly just a few weeks away from the HyperOS 3 release. We’ll have more clarity on which devices will receive the update first and what’s coming inside the package as we get closer to the release. You can regularly visit our HyperOS section for the latest information.
