While Xiaomi has already begun its Android 17 Developer Preview program for a few devices, over a dozen devices are still waiting for the HyperOS 3.1 upgrade. This mainly includes budget and some mid-range phones, while high-end eligible devices have already received the update.
According to XimiTime, these devices have not received the HyperOS 3.1 update:
- Redmi Note 15 Pro 4G
- Redmi Note 14 4G
- Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G
- Redmi 14C
- Redmi 13
- Redmi 13X
- Redmi A4
- Redmi A3 Pro
- Redmi Pad 2
- Redmi Pad 2 Pro 5G
- Redmi Pad SE 4G
- Poco M7 4G
- Poco M6
- Poco C85 4G
- Poco C75
- Poco C75 5G
- Poco Pad M1
The delay in software rollouts can be due to multiple reasons, including but not limited to critical bugs in the internal testing, hardware optimization requirements, delay in regional firmware certifications, and chipset limitations.
Even though many Xiaomi devices have yet to receive the HyperOS 3.1 update, the rollout hasn’t been slow, to say the least, given that it only began in April. According to XimiTime, Xiaomi has already pushed the update to 85% of eligible devices.
HyperOS 3.1 is more than just an incremental upgrade as it bundles many new features, visual upgrades, better connectivity with Apple devices, and plenty of enhancements. The update introduces Hyper Island to Xiaomi tablets for the first time, while smartphones receive a few upgrades to this feature, bringing in richer animations, deeper third-party integration, and a more intuitive real-time activity tracking.
The latest software features an iOS-inspired recent apps page with vertical scrolling and modern card swiping gestures. It also adds native AirPods integration, enabling features like quick pop-up pairing, ANC toggle controls, and access to spatial audio. The lock screen is now more customizable with advanced depth effects and more widget configurations. There’s also a new Super OTA feature for faster update installation with minimal reboot time and fewer errors.
HyperOS 3.1 itself feels like a big upgrade, but we’ll soon have an even bigger release with HyperOS 4, which will be based on Android 17. The Android 17 beta is already available for Xiaomi 17, Xiaomi 17 Ultra, and Xiaomi 15T Pro, with more devices likely to follow soon. HyperOS 4 is expected to be a pretty solid upgrade, offering many new features, major improvements, and AI goodies.
