Xiaomi has started the last stage of its HyperOS 3 rollout, delivering the stable Android update to over a dozen devices. The company shared this news in an official post on its MIUI community forums in China, signaling the end of its domestic HyperOS 3 rollout that initially began in October.
New Devices Added
In this final phase, Xiaomi is bringing HyperOS 3 to 20 additional devices, which include older flagship models dating back to 2021, mid-range Redmi Note phones, several Redmi tablets, and smart TVs. The latest update revitalizes 2021 flagships such as the Xiaomi 12 and Xiaomi 12S series, along with the Redmi Note 12T Pro, Redmi Note 15R, Redmi 14C, Redmi Civi 3/2, Redmi K50 Ultimate Edition, and the Redmi Pad Pro series (Xiaomi 15 Pro currently priced at €697 at TradingShenzhen).
List of Devices Receiving Updates
Here’s the full list of devices that are set to receive the stable update:
Although the official announcement does not specifically mention it, the stable HyperOS 3 build for the Xiaomi 12T Pro, Xiaomi 12S series, Redmi Note 12T Pro, and Xiaomi Civi 3 and 2 is likely based on Android 15 instead of the newest Android 16 base. Nonetheless, the overall software and user experience should remain quite similar to devices that run the Android 16 version, as most of the key features and visual updates of HyperOS 3 are not directly tied to the Android version. These older models should receive a comparable software experience, featuring the new iPhone-like Hyper Island, iOS-inspired lockscreen designs, system-level performance improvements that are said to enhance UI fluidity and app launch speeds, along with AI-driven writing and image editing tools.
Global Rollout Still Ongoing
While this announcement effectively concludes the HyperOS 3 rollout for Chinese versions, the global rollout is still in progress and is anticipated to last until March, with many popular devices still awaiting their updates.
