Xiaomi has been working on HyperOS 3, based on Android 16, which is almost ready for a beta release later this month. The stable build will follow soon thereafter. This is said to be a significant upgrade for Xiaomi devices, bringing a host of new features, visual elements, new customizations, and enhancements.
The HyperOS 3 update will be released for a range of Xiaomi, Redmi, and Poco phones and tablets; however, some popular models are missing from the list. Folks at Xiaomi Time have prepared a list of those devices. You may want to have a look at it to check if yours is included.
Popular Xiaomi phones that won’t be upgraded to HyperOS 3
- Xiaomi 11 series
The entire Xiaomi 11 series (including the Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE) is no longer eligible for major upgrades, including the HyperOS 3.
- Redmi Note 12 series
The popular mid-range series, Redmi Note 12, is also excluded from the HyperOS 3 rollout.

When will Xiaomi start rolling out HyperOS 3 update?
The company hasn’t announced a release date for HyperOS 3 yet. However, according to recent reports, it has already stopped working on HyperOS 2 and is working on the next iteration, HyperOS 3.
According to a reliable Chinese tipster, Digital Chat Station, Xiaomi will start HyperOS 3 beta testing sometime in August. The beta testing typically lasts a few weeks, after which users may start receiving the stable HyperOS 3 update, based on Android 16. We expect the stable rollout to begin around October. That’s a guess, by the way. Hopefully, we’ll have an official confirmation very soon.
