What is HyperOS 3.1?

HyperOS 3.1 is Xiaomi’s Android 16-based feature update, bringing an upgraded Super Island, redesigned animations, deeper lock-screen customization and Apple ecosystem integration to Xiaomi, Redmi and Poco devices. The rollout began with China beta testing in January 2026 and had reached 40 devices globally by late May, continuing in batches. It sits between HyperOS 3 and the Android 17-based HyperOS 4 arriving later this year.

So here’s everything new, all the eligible devices, and where the rollout stands.

1. Enhanced Super Island

One of the main features of the HyperOS 3.1 update is an upgraded Super Island, which is Xiaomi’s take on Apple’s Dynamic Island. It is more interactive and informative than before, bringing support for Live Updates from third party apps such as music, reminders, and timers. This makes the pill shaped widget a real dynamic hub that is more intuitive than static notification bubbles.

2. Redesigned System Animations & App Interfaces

The update rewrites core system apps such as Gallery and Weather with new animations for smoother interactions. Xiaomi has also introduced iOS-like motion and transition animations, paired with redesigned system elements like the recent apps view and animation curves to make the UI feel more polished and fluid.

3. Lock Screen & Depth Effects

HyperOS has always been a highly customizable Android skin, and the HyperOS 3.1 update builds on this further. The Chinese tech giant is expanding lock screen customization, allowing users to apply depth effects that let subjects overlap the clock, edit wallpapers on the lock screen, and more.

4. Native AirPods Support

Xiaomi is improving the cross platform integration with Apple’s ecosystem, adding native support for Apple AirPods on HyperOS 3.1. So now, supported Xiaomi branded devices will get a pop up for pairing Apple’s TWS earbuds along with access to spatial audio, which was initially exclusive to Apple products.

5. iPhone Call Interoperability

Another ecosystem highlight is the ability to answer phone calls on your Xiaomi phones directly from an iPhone when devices are linked.

6. New Accessibility Options

Accessibility settings have also been enhanced with a new primary menu dubbed Assistant. This offers more convenient access to accessibility features like Active Visual Perception.

7. Quick Gestures

On certain devices like the Redmi K90 Pro Max, HyperOS 3.1 unlocks quick gesture controls for navigation and shortcuts.

8. Performance & System Improvements

Xiaomi has also made a bunch of enhancements to the performance and stability with HyperOS 3.1:

  • A redesigned recent apps menu
  • Improved memory management and multitasking
  • Smoother animations and reduced frame stutter
  • Enhanced power and resource optimization
  • Faster app launch speeds

9. Motion Sickness Reduction

With the new Super Island, Xiaomi has also refined visual cues and added a Motion Sickness reduction feature to help minimize visual discomfort during scrolling and other fast visuals.
