Xiaomi Ends HyperOS 2 Development, Shifts Focus to HyperOS 3 and Ends Support for 9 Phones

Xiaomi has officially ended development for HyperOS 2 and is now fully focused on building HyperOS 3, according to a user report from Xiaomi’s Feedback app.

Goodbye HyperOS 2, Hello HyperOS 3

All eligible Xiaomi devices have already received the HyperOS 2 update, and the company has confirmed there will be no further improvement updates for it. Instead, Xiaomi’s development team is now working hard to ensure that HyperOS 3, based on Android 16, is ready on time.

Although Xiaomi hasn’t shared a launch date yet, the upcoming OS may be called HyperOS 26, to match the release year (2026).

What to Expect from HyperOS 3

Xiaomi says HyperOS 3 will bring several improvements, including:

• Smoother animations
• Better system responsiveness
• Refreshed user interface (UI)
• An overall improved user experience

However, many of these enhancements sound a bit general, and more details are expected in the coming months.

Nine Phones Losing Support

As Xiaomi moves forward, it’s also ending software support for nine older devices, which will receive their last security patch in September 2025:

• Redmi A1
• Redmi A1+
• Poco C50
• Xiaomi 11T
• Xiaomi 11T Pro
• Mi 11 Lite 5G NE
• Mi 11 LE
• Poco M5
• Redmi 11 Prime 4G

After this final update, these phones will no longer receive official security or system updates.
