Xiaomi is progressing toward wrapping up the HyperOS 3 rollout, but the company may already be working on its next iteration, HyperOS 3.1. It will also be based on Android 16, but unfortunately, dozens of smartphones will miss out on this essential upgrade.
According to Xiaomi Time, the HyperOS 3.1 software makes heavy use of NPU capabilities and the new Android 16 architecture for HyperOS features like Live Updates and pre-compilation of apps. All these factors make many Xiaomi smartphones incapable of running HyperOS 3.1. Below is the list of those devices, as shared by Xiaomi Time.

If your Xiaomi device is reaching the end of its life, it’s best to upgrade to a newer model to ensure it has the latest features and fixes for the recently discovered vulnerabilities.
