After several weeks of deployment in Asia, Xiaomi has begun to extend HyperOS 3 globally, including Europe. The new version comes with interface changes, a performance boost, and useful features such as live notifications or the so-called Hyper Island.
The update does not reach everyone at once: the shipment is phased deployment, with priority for the most recent models and, in parallel, some wearables and tabletsThere will also be differences by device, as several mid-range models Hyper Island will not be activated according to the first compilations.
News and status of the beta
Among the most visible changes are the interface facelift (revamped icons, indicators, and animations with blur effects) and under-the-hood tweaks for improved fluidity. The ecosystem is also being strengthened: Calls and SMS between devices, screen sharing with the laptop and an AirDrop-style file transfer system.
New live notifications allow you to follow events in real time—such as a shipment or a timer—from the lock screen or via an “island” at the top. That Hyper Island is interactive, so from there you can pause music, resume a countdown, or manage quick actions without opening the app.
The interest for test the beta has been remarkable: 1,2 over millions of users have signed up in just a few days, as confirmed by Zhang Guoquan. In addition, Xiaomi has activated a third wave of tests in models such as the MIX Fold 4, MIX Flip, the entire Xiaomi 14 family, the Redmi K70 series, and the Xiaomi Pad 6S Pro 12.4.
Of course, not everything is the same for everyone. The betas in various Mid-range models do not include Hyper Island and, as seen on the Redmi Note 14 Pro+, this feature could be reserved for more advanced devices. Xiaomi is likely considering the requirements of Android 16 and performance before extending that feature.

Models that won't update and changes that are lost
Not everyone will make the jump. Xiaomi has detailed that more than 20 devices Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO are left out of HyperOS 3. On those devices only the security patches until its end of support date; for example, the POCO X5 Pro 5G would reach that barrier in February 2026.
Among the casualties are popular models , the POCO F4, F4 GT, X5 Pro 5G, M5 and M5s; at the parent company, Xiaomi 11T, 11T Pro, Mi 11 Lite, Mi 11 Ultra, Mi Mix Fold, Mix 4 and 12X; and in the input range, Redmi A2, A2+ and 12C, among others.
Even within the compatible ones there will be differences: some models that do receive the update, such as the Redmi Note 14 Pro +, they could do it without Hyper IslandIn any case, they should benefit from the visual changes, live notifications and the system optimizations that accompany HyperOS 3.
With the rollout underway and notable adoption in beta, it makes sense to check availability in your region and prepare your device with free space and backupThose who update will see a more polished system that's better integrated with the Xiaomi ecosystem; those who don't will continue to receive security patches until the end of support.
