Xiaomi launched HyperOS 3 version based on Android 16 last month and now we know which devices won’t get the new update
The Android 16-based HyperOS 3 is widely awaited.
Xiaomi announced HyperOS 3 based on Android 16 version a few weeks back in China and now we have more details about the phones and devices that will be upgraded. Xiaomi’s software update history is not the best in the market, and definitely not matching the premium brands like Samsung and Google with the upgrade cycle either.
So when the HyperOS 3 version was launched we were eager to see which of the Xiaomi, Redmi Note and Poco phones will be upgraded to the latest version.
HyperOS 3 Android 16 Update Not Coming To These Xiaomi Phones
Xiaomi has a plethora of phones in the market but only some of them will be upgraded to Android 16 in the next few months:
- Xiaomi 11i
- Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge
- Xiaomi Pad 5
- Xiaomi Mix 4
- Xiaomi Mi 11i
- Mi 11 Ultra
- Mi Mix Fold
- Mi 11
The list has plenty more devices but we wanted to mention the products that were introduced outside of China as well. These devices unfortunately have got their share of Android upgrades.
- Redmi A2
- Redmi 12C
- Redmi Note 13 4G
- Redmi Pad SE
- Redmi 12
- Redmi Note 12s
- Redmi Note 12
- Redmi Note 12 Pro
As we had expected, the Redmi Note 12 series will not get any more Android upgrades.
- Poco C65
- Poco M6 Pro
- Poco C51
- Poco X5 5G
- Poco X4 GT
- Poco F4 Pro
- Poco M5 5G
- Poco F4 GT
And yes, the list also includes Poco devices that will not get the HyperOS 3 update from Xiaomi.
Xiaomi’s new HyperOS 3 version is trying its best to bring Apple-like features to the Android devices. One of them is called HyperIsland which seems inspired by the Dynamic Island notch we get on the iPhones these days. You will get live activities on the notched layer, along with details about the charging speed of your phone.
The other big change or addition will be AI-centric tools with Hyper AI. You get AI writing tools to help you change the writing style or even tones. It also will have AI-based speech recognition that will record, transcribe in real-time and give summaries as well.
