Latest Update Rollout for Xiaomi Devices
Xiaomi has begun to roll out their latest HyperOS 3.1 to some of their first eligible global devices, with the update currently appearing on phones and tablets in the EU. They are planning a broader release soon, so more users should expect to see the upgrade shortly. The update marks a notable improvement over the previous versions, bringing new features and user interface enhancements.
Device Compatibility and Firmware Versions
Among the earliest devices getting the update are the Xiaomi 17 series, including the vanilla model, known as Pudding, and the Ultra, codenamed Nezha. In the EU, the firmware version for Pudding is OS3.0.301.0.WPCEUXM and for Nezha it’s OS3.0.301.0.WPAEUXM. For tablets, the Redmi Pad Pro and Poco Pad also received the latest HyperOS 3.1 update. Both tablets run the same firmware version in the EU, which is OS3.0.301.0.WNSEUXM.
New Features and System Improvements
The HyperOS 3.1 update introduces several fresh features and updates aimed at improving user experience. Among these is the enhanced Super Island, which is now more interactive, offering a more lively and engaging user interface. The animation style of the system and app interfaces has been remodeled, featuring iOS-style animations that make the entire system appear more smooth and polished.
Cross-Device Compatibility Enhancements
An additional eye-catching upgrade is the improved Xiaomi HyperConnect, which now boasts increased compatibility across different devices. For example, the update enables better integration with the Apple ecosystem, allowing for smoother interaction between Xiaomi devices and Apple products. A notable feature is the system’s ability to ping paired Apple AirPods (Pro 3 – priced around $199), aiding users in locating their accessories more efficiently.
Future Update Expectations
Although the current rollout is promising, Xiaomi has not provided a definitive timeline for when the remaining devices will also get HyperOS 3.1. It’s worth mentioning that some phones and tablets running HyperOS 3.0 may not be upgraded to 3.1 due to compatibility or other reasons, as was discovered late last year. Users eager for the update will just need to keep an eye out for further announcements from Xiaomi.
