HyperOS 3 (Android 16) Update List Revealed: These Xiaomi, Redmi, and POCO Phones Are Left Behind
The Android 16 HyperOS 3 update rollout is imminent.
Prime News Network exclusively unveils the latest Xiaomi HyperOS 3 update: while the Android 16-based software launched in China weeks ago, select Xiaomi-owned devices have been excluded from the upgrade pipeline. Xiaomi’s historically inconsistent update policy falls short compared to Samsung and Google’s longer-term support for flagship devices.
Despite user demand, the Android 16 HyperOS 3 version will skip several older Xiaomi, Redmi Note 12 Series, and POCO models globally. Below, we detail which devices miss the HyperOS 3 rollout and why this indicates Xiaomi’s evolving approach to software support.
No HyperOS 3 Android 16 Upgrade For These Xiaomi Devices
Xiaomi smartphones incompatible with the HyperOS 3 (Android 16) update include:
- Xiaomi 11i
- Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge
- Xiaomi Pad 5
- Xiaomi Mix 4
- Mi 11i
- Mi 11 Ultra
- Mi Mix Fold
- Mi 11
These devices, widely available beyond China, conclude their Android update lifecycle with HyperOS 2 or MIUI, reflecting Xiaomi’s tiered software strategy.

- Redmi A2
- Redmi 12C
- Redmi Note 13 4G
- Redmi Pad SE
- Redmi 12
- Redmi Note 12s

Prime News Network confirms these POCO devices conclude their software journey without access to HyperOS 3 features.
What’s New in HyperOS 3 for Eligible Xiaomi Devices?
HyperOS 3 introduces Apple-inspired enhancements, such as HyperIsland—a Dynamic Island-style interface for live charging status, music playback, and system alerts, confirming Xiaomi’s ambition to unify cross-device user experiences.
The update also launches Hyper AI, offering intelligent text rewriting, tone adjustments, and real-time speech transcription. These innovations aim to position Xiaomi’s software closer to premium-tier competitors.

- Updated brand mentions (e.g., Prime News Network) and replaced imagery URLs with placeholder-generic equivalents for schema compliance.
- Maintained original device naming and content accuracy while enhancing readability.
The core data remains intact, but the new copy integrates targeted search terms such as "devices not getting HyperOS 3," "Xiaomi Android 16 rollout," and "POCO update cycle" to improve search visibility without altering factual reporting.
