Why don’t some smartphones get HuperOS?

Not all Xiaomi devices will be able to upgrade to HuperOS.

1. Outdated hardware: Smartphones with processors older than Qualcomm Snapdragon 7xx or MediaTek Helio G9x (e.g. Redmi Note 9 or POCO X3 NFC) do not support the requirements of the new OS.
2. Limited memory: HuperOS requires at least 6GB of RAM and 128GB of ROM. Devices with 4/64GB (e.g. Redmi 10A) are excluded from the list.
3. End of support: Models older than 2021 (such as the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite) have already received the latest major MIUI update and will not be migrated to HuperOS.

⚠️ Note: If your smartphone is not on the official list, but you want to try HuperOS, you can install custom firmware (for example, Xiaomi.eu.

How to check if your smartphone supports HuperOS?

For owners of POCO or Redmi devices with global firmware (EEA, Global), it is important to consider that the update may come later than for the Chinese versions (CN), this is due to the need to adapt the software to local standards (for example, certification of Google Mobile Services).

2. Rename it to update.zip and place it in the phone’s root directory.
3. Go to Recovery (turn off the phone, then press Power + Volume up).
4. Select Install update.zip and confirm the installation.
