  • Stable HyperOS 3 rollout begins this December for 25 Xiaomi phones

    Stable HyperOS 3 rollout begins this December for 25 Xiaomi phones

    As December 2025 draws to a close, Xiaomi plans to release HyperOS 3.0 stable for roughly 25 devices before entering 2026. Additionally, if you haven’t received the latest update, make sure your phone is on this list.

    In addition to releasing its next-generation Ultra flagship, Xiaomi has hinted at a stable HyperOS 3.0 rollout for 25 devices by 2026.

    Indeed, by the end of this month, several of the top-notch Xiaomi, Redmi, and POCO devices will receive updated software. All of the models that are presently using beta builds are prepared for a widespread rollout.

    Some phones were listed as “ready to release” on the company’s main server. That most likely indicates that Xiaomi is prepared to provide the updated version for its phones that were left out.

    However, it’s important to note that not every device will receive the HyperOS release based on Android 16. Only Android 15 OS upgrades are available for some of them. For example, the Android 15 version will be available for the Redmi K60 and Xiaomi Pad 6 series.

    Below, you can see every device that qualifies for this month’s HyperOS 3.0 stable upgrade.

  • Xiaomi releases new HyperOS 3 launcher beta to improve recent apps performance

    Xiaomi releases new HyperOS 3 launcher beta to improve recent apps performance

    A new HyperOS 3 Launcher Beta update from Xiaomi focuses primarily on the look and feel of compatible models, animated effects in recent apps, and system reliability. This update has been made available to early HyperOS 3 testers in order to optimize their navigation experience. In an effort to improve HyperOS, Xiaomi has also released a beta build for compatible models that can be tested worldwide.

    HyperOS 3 Launcher Beta Update Overview

    Xiaomi releases new HyperOS 3 launcher beta to improve recent apps performance

    Version RELEASE-6.01.03.1940-12221356 is the most recent version of HyperOS 3 Launcher Beta, which is packed as a second package and is categorized as a stacked layout type beta release. In keeping with Android’s more recent system framework, it raises the “minimum API level” to 35.

    Only devices running HyperOS 3 are eligible for this upgrade. Installing this version on other devices may result in instability or visual issues, as Xiaomi has made clear.

    It is crucial to comprehend the list of devices that are supported before proceeding with the modifications. This beta is limited to a few high-end, performance-focused phones from Xiaomi.

    Officially Supported Models

    • Xiaomi 14 series
    • Xiaomi 15 series
    • Xiaomi 17 series
    • REDMI K80 Ultra
    • REDMI K90 series
    • REDMI Turbo 4 Pro

    The REDMI K series gadgets are introduced internationally under POCO brands and are exclusively accessible in mainland China. Internationally, the REDMI K Ultra line of devices is sometimes referred to as the Xiaomi T series. As long as the device is compatible with HyperOS 3, Xiaomi has verified that this beta version functions on the worldwide version.

    Xiaomi’s HyperOS 3 launcher beta update: new features and fixes explained

    This update improves system functionality to make everything run much more smoothly rather than adding any new features to the device.

    Key Improvements and Fixes

    • Optimized the display hierarchy of the tasks window in the case of recent tasks.
    • Optimizations for the animations of opening frequently used apps in classic navigation key mode.
    • Corrected positioning of playing cards for vertical layout mode
    • Fixed issues concerning unusual app behavior when opening and quitting recent apps.
    • Resolved animation bugs that occurred when there was a recent application switch
    • Improved background adaptation for small window cards in dark mode

    With less visual disparities, particularly when switching between apps, these new modifications improve multitasking.

  • Xiaomi confirms HyperOS bug fix rollout for global models

    Xiaomi confirms HyperOS bug fix rollout for global models

    A number of system problem patches that will be made available through the upcoming HyperOS update for several smartphones and tablets have been officially revealed by Xiaomi. The news was made via the official Xiaomi community page, demonstrating the manufacturer’s dedication to provide its customers reliable software performance. The clock, home screen animations, Google Play services, media audio, and application-related translation problems are among the system services that have been patched in this release.

    HyperOS Bugs

    Confirmed HyperOS bugsfix

    A number of functional and localization issues that users have reported will be fixed in these future releases. Xiaomi claims that the following user-submitted problems have already been found and are being fixed:

    • Xiaomi 14T: Force close or non-responsive problem in the Clock app
    • Xiaomi 14: Smart charging feature not translated into Russian
    • Xiaomi Pad 7: Translation problem in Weather app
    • Xiaomi Pad 7: Google Play “force close” or “no response” problem
    • Xiaomi 15T Pro: Gallery Editor erase tool not functioning properly
    • Xiaomi 14 Ultra: Issue with system-level translation
    • Redmi Note 14: Odd animation behavior of the desktop (home screen)
    • Xiaomi 15: Multimedia sound is not available via speaker or Bluetooth

    Affected users will receive an update in a comparatively shorter amount of time because these updates are anticipated to be incorporated in HyperOS incremental builds rather than major version numbers.

    Even though there aren’t any serious issues in these bugs, things like media audio problems, Google Play instability, and system app crashes significantly impair functioning. Due to Xiaomi’s identification of these defects, the deployment time has been shortened because these problems have also been tested in their internal environments.

    Since these bug patches can vary depending on the location or device type, Xiaomi has not provided a particular timeframe for their deployment. However, the system updater will automatically distribute all of these problem patches to users of these devices once they have been incorporated into the final HyperOS releases.

  • HyperOS 4 (Android 17) promises major upgrades for mobile gaming

    HyperOS 4 (Android 17) promises major upgrades for mobile gaming

    Both Android 17 and Xiaomi HyperOS 4.0 are in development, and it appears that this software update will significantly improve Xiaomi devices’ gaming capabilities. Here is some fresh information that clarifies this issue.

    Google has begun investigating the Android 17 operating system. Naturally, it will include significant updates to the new operating system, with perhaps a little more focus on the gaming market this time.

    HyperOS 4 aims to redefine mobile gaming

    Google will enhance system-level updates and game controller compatibility with Android 17, according to XiaomiTime. To increase smartphone users’ gaming time, it will probably have a gamepad button or be a completely virtual controller.

    xiaomi hyperos 4 gaming phone

    The 17th build will allow users to remap or alter system buttons and lessen reliance on game-specific settings, in contrast to earlier Android versions that relied on predefined buttons for Xbox controllers.

    The most recent Android Canary release makes this evident by displaying strings such as android.permission.CONTROLLER_REMAPPING, which is managed by the flag com.android.hardware.input.controller_remapping.

    For a reliable and consistent remapping without the need for external hardware or ADB, keep in mind that this only applies to system-level apps signed with the platform key.

    In order to improve the user experience overall, it’s possible that HyperOS 4 (Android 17) will eventually offer the same gaming functionality to Xiaomi smartphones.

    Therefore, HyperOS 4.0, which is based on Android 17, can be the ideal upgrade for you if you enjoy playing games with controllers.

  • More Xiaomi devices receive HyperOS 3 powered by Android 16

    More Xiaomi devices receive HyperOS 3 powered by Android 16

    With HyperOS 3.0, Xiaomi is intensifying its efforts to offer Android 16. At last, older Xiaomi smartphone models are catching up. Is this the company’s most ambitious Android update cycle to date?

    It is difficult to bring significant Android updates to the front row given Xiaomi’s extensive selection of Android devices. Android 16’s pace has improved somewhat since its skinned HyperOS 3 was released on a few models in August and September, with the global release scheduled for October. With more phones, especially older models, receiving a taste of fresh Android software, the business has now taken a bigger step before the year ends.

    More Xiaomi Devices Get Android 16

    Xiaomi just released HyperOS 3.0 on a number of smartphones in its own country. Among them are popular mid-range devices such as the Redmi Note 13 Pro (Plus), Redmi Note 14 Pro (Plus), and Redmi Note 15 Pro (Plus). It is strange that the Redmi Note 15 Pro was not included in the initial batch, given they were released in 2023, 2024, and 2025, respectively.

    The Xiaomi 13 series, which includes the 13 Pro and 13 Ultra (review), is also covered in the release. The 13 Ultra was released a few months after the previous two, which made their premiere in the end of 2022. What does this imply for phones that are sold outside of China, then?

    What Makes HyperOS 3.0 Worth the Wait?

    With multiple UI modifications, HyperOS 3.0 is a more exciting version than HyperOS 2.0. App icons and system text, as well as the home screen and quick settings, all have a more contemporary and tidy appearance. AI wallpapers and new styling are also added to the lock screen. The Super Island, which displays dynamic and live widgets using the notch, is a more noteworthy visual innovation.

    With the official release of the HyperOS 3 upgrade for the POCO F6 Pro, which is based on Android 16, Xiaomi’s worldwide flagship platform has undergone a significant software evolution. Smoother visual interactions, AI-level system enhancements, and performance stability for demanding users are the main goals of this update. The upgrade, which is presently accessible via the official Recovery ROM channel, validates Xiaomi’s long-term software plan for high-end POCO devices.

    For the worldwide version of the device, which is internally connected to the Redmi K70 platform, a new firmware known as OS3.0.4.0.WNKMIXM has been made available. According to the update, POCO’s flagship lineup is in line with Xiaomi’s most recent system design and long-term Android policy. In everyday usage scenarios, such as gaming, multitasking, and professional workloads, HyperOS 3 is designed to provide more responsive animations, lower power consumption, and stronger system-level intelligence.

    Tech details

    The update strengthens system stability and modernizes the user interface while keeping a consistent business-grade experience.

    • Device codename: vermeer_global
    • Base system: Android 16
    • Build number: OS3.0.4.0.WNKMIXM
    • Distribution type: Recovery ROM
    • Region: Global (POCO F6 Pro / Redmi K70 platform)

    What is new?

    A more organized and effective visual language that prioritizes practical usability over ostentatious visual elements is introduced in HyperOS 3. While maintaining Android’s flexibility, Xiaomi has improved program icons, created a better notification hierarchy, and introduced a more seamless version of the iOS-style interaction experience. Super Island is a new feature that improves multitasking by enhancing the behavior of mini-widgets, background processes, and floating windows throughout the system.

    Main updates

    Users receive a balanced combination of performance, visual, and AI-level upgrades:

    • Advanced AI system optimizations for background tasks
    • Refreshed system icons with better visual clarity

    Currently available through Recovery ROM, the HyperOS 3 upgrade is designed for POCO F6 Pro devices worldwide.

Users are urged to stay away from unofficial downloads and adhere to Xiaomi’s official update policy.

  • Xiaomi silently discontinues software updates for two models

    Xiaomi silently discontinues software updates for two models

    Xiaomi has quietly stopped supporting software updates for the Redmi 12C and its international counterpart, the POCO C55. No new firmware, including HyperOS 2, has been released in the last two months, and the devices were last updated with the October 2025 security patch. These devices are anticipated to become officially EOL in February 2026, according to Xiaomi’s internal software roadmap.

    Redmi 12C and POCO C55 are being retired organically

    Why these devices eeached EOL

    For its entry-level series, Xiaomi has clear updating policies. The POCO C55 and Redmi 12C were marketed as reasonably priced smartphones designed for everyday use, typically with shorter support cycles.

    Each device finished its usual update window with HyperOS maintenance releases and Android fixes prior to hitting EOL. This change is intended to allow Xiaomi to focus attention on more recent models and maintain system stability throughout the ecosystem.

    Expected End of Life Timeline

    • Last update: October 2025 security patch
    • No updates released: November–December 2025
    • Official EOL: Scheduled for February 2026
    • Affected models:
      • Redmi 12C (China)
      • POCO C55 (Global)

    What you can do if you device reached EOL

    Users can still improve device stability by updating compatible system apps even after system firmware updates have ceased. Xiaomi smartphone owners have two reliable options:

    Recommended Update Channels

    • HyperOSUpdates.com: provides direct links to Xiaomi system app packages.
    • MemeOS Enhancer app on Google Play – allows users to update system apps, enable hidden features of Xiaomi, and manage interface components smoothly.

    EOL does not automatically affect device functionality, and users may still experience adequate performance for daily tasks.

    With smartphones that offer increasingly better performance and longer support cycles, Xiaomi continues to broaden its selection of reasonably priced products. As part of the broader shift to the enhanced environment offered by HyperOS and more efficient update delivery, devices like the Redmi 12C and POCO C55 are being retired organically. A more explicit software policy is anticipated in upcoming budget releases.

  • Xiaomi rolls out major Security V12 update with improved Game Turbo

    Xiaomi rolls out major Security V12 update with improved Game Turbo

    The Security V12 generation of Xiaomi’s standard Security app has finally been released with a significant update. The most recent build, V12.0.3-251114.1.1, is mostly concerned with modifications to the system infrastructure. However, as the new build offers a whole redesign of the Game Turbo interface and sophisticated system optimization logic, this would be quite intriguing for those waiting for the release of the next HyperOS stage. With this upgrade, Xiaomi is at last getting ready for a significant change in the management of background operations and the optimization of gaming performance on devices throughout the world.

    Xiaomi rolls out major Security V12 update

    Increased optimization in new Security V12

    The Security V12 branch has been made available to the public for the first time with this build. The Security V12 series is a package deal of significant architectural improvements that align with next system versions, in contrast to the incremental updates that preceded it. The improved optimization engine, which promises to clear caches and free up memory without disrupting user activity, is especially noteworthy in the changelog. Thus, the move to version 12.0.3 would suggest that Xiaomi is preparing for more demanding software applications, maintaining devices’ responsiveness and fluidity during more taxing operations.

    Enhanced gaming capabilities

    However, the improved Game Turbo module is the most notable feature of this version. Performance modes and floating windows can now be accessed more quickly thanks to Xiaomi’s UI optimization. In order to prioritize frame rates and network stability during gameplay, new optimization algorithms operate in the background in silent mode. With much lower latency and input lag, enthusiasts who use their devices for competitive gaming will notice how much more seamless the transition from the game to system notific

    How to update

    To update the Security app on Xiaomi devices, open the Security app and scroll to the bottom until you see the Settings or About section. Tap Update (or Check for updates) if available. You can also update it through the GetApps store by searching for Security and installing the latest version. If the update doesn’t appear, make sure your phone is connected to the internet and running the latest MIUI/HyperOS system version, as some Security app updates are bundled with system updates.

    Keeping system applications updated is very crucial for maintaining the security and performance stability of any device. Among such capabilities are unlocking hidden Xiaomi settings, updating other system applications seamlessly, and managing screen refresh rates, among the common updater features.

    Which Poco devices are confirmed to get HyperOS 3.0

    For the initial group of Poco devices, the deployment started in October and will last until the end of November. The Poco F7 and X7 series from the previous year, including its Ultra variants, are at the top of the list. Some users outside China have already reported receiving the software.

    Between December 2025 and March 2026, a broader release that includes the Poco F5 (Pro), Poco X6, Poco M7 Pro, and Poco C85 is scheduled. Poco’s Android tablets, such as the Poco Pad, Poco Pad X1, and Poco Pad M1, will join these. Regretfully, Xiaomi has not disclosed the timing for every device.

    HyperOS 3.0 is built on Android 16, which adds its own set of new features and customizations. Xiaomi’s version offers a substantial user interface overhaul, increased security, and superior optimization for longer battery life and smoother performance.

    The most noteworthy graphic modification is Super Island, inspired by iOS’s Dynamic Island. As a native feature of Android 16, it is integrated into the punch-hole camera region and shows live updates and dynamic widgets.

    The main UI has also been overhauled with transparent parts, blurred backgrounds, and redesigned app icons. Users receive new styles on the lock screen, like as live effects and AI-generated wallpapers.

    Additionally, Xiaomi promises enhanced usability and performance. Multitasking and app switching are stated to be snappier, while overall responsiveness is quicker.

    Permission limits and improved data protection have improved security. In other areas, HyperOS 3.0 provides closer connection with Xiaomi’s wider range of products.
