| Xiaomi has started seeding stable HyperOS 3 update to several 2024 and 2023 budget-friendly models. |
If you’ve been waiting for the latest software magic from Xiaomi, the wait is over for many. The tech giant is on an undeniable year-end sprint, pushing its Android 16-based HyperOS 3 to a wide array of smartphones and tablets. Following a significant update earlier this month, the stable rollout is now expanding dramatically, bringing a slew of new features to popular mid-range and budget models.
The announcement, made officially on the Xiaomi Community forums, reveals a fresh batch of over a dozen devices now receiving the stable HyperOS 3 build. This move underscores Xiaomi's commitment to enhancing the user experience across its portfolio, not just its flagship lines.
The Expanding Rollout: From China to Global Markets
Currently, the broadest wave of updates is focused on Chinese variants of the listed devices. This includes fan-favorite series like the Redmi K60 line, the latest Redmi Note 14 5G, Redmi Note 13R Pro, and the Xiaomi Pad 6 Pro. Users of these models in China should already be seeing or will soon receive the over-the-air (OTA) notification.
For international users, patience is key but rewarded. Xiaomi has confirmed that global variants of these phones are slated to begin their HyperOS 3 journey in early 2026. However, in a welcome surprise, the update has already started landing on two global devices: the Redmi Note 13 Pro 4G and the Poco M6 Pro 4G. This suggests the global pipeline is actively charging up.
For those looking to experience HyperOS 3 on the absolute latest hardware, the newly launched flagship Xiaomi 17 Pro is a stunning option. It ships with the software out-of-the-box and represents the peak of Xiaomi's current technology. You can check its latest price and availability at TradingShenzhen.
