Xiaomi’s HyperOS: a complete list of smartphones with support for new firmware (2026)

What is HyperOS and why millions of Xiaomi users have been waiting for it

In October 2023, Xiaomi introduced a revolutionary replacement for the familiar MIUI, the HyperOS operating system, built on Android 14 with deep integration of the company’s own developments. The new firmware promised not only fresh design, but also dramatic improvements in performance, energy efficiency and interaction with the Xiaomi ecosystem. Early tests showed that on some models HyperOS increases battery life by 15-20% due to optimized management of background processes.

But the main question that worries smartphone owners brand: on which devices Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO available HyperOS? the company announced a phased release, starting with flagship models and gradually descending to budget devices. while not all devices will receive an update — some old models remained on MIUI forever. In this article, we will analyze the official list of supported smartphones, selection criteria, as well as the nuances of the update, which Xiaomi is silent in press releases.

It is important to understand that even if your model is on the compatibility list, the speed of the update depends on the region, the carrier and the version of the device (Global, Chinese CN, Indian IN). For example, owners of Xiaomi 13 Pro in Europe received HyperOS a month earlier than users of the same model in Russia.

Official list of Xiaomi smartphones with HyperOS support (2026)

Xiaomi has divided all supported devices into three waves of updates: the first wave (November 2023 – February 2026) included the flagship models of the last two years, the second (March – June 2026) covered the middle segment, and the third (July 2026 – present) affects budget devices.

📱 Xiaomi flagships: Xiaomi 14 Ultra, Xiaomi 14 Pro, Xiaomi 14, Xiaomi 13 Ultra, Xiaomi 13 Pro, Xiaomi 13, Xiaomi 13, Xiaomi 12T Pro, Xiaomi 12T, Xiaomi 12S Ultra
🔥 Redmi Note: Redmi Note 13 Pro Series+ 5G, Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G, Redmi Note 13 Pro, Redmi Note 13, Redmi Note 12 Pro+ 5G, Redmi Note 12 Pro 5G, Redmi Note 12 Pro Speed

🚀 Devices with limited support: Xiaomi 11T Pro (Chinese market only), Redmi K60 Pro (global version delayed)

The full list of 87 models can be found on Xiaomi’s official website, but we recommend checking compatibility through the phone’s settings: Settings → About Phone → System Update. If it displays HyperOS 1.0 or higher, your device is supported.

📊 Your smartphone has already received HyperOS?

Yes, it was updated in the first few months.

Yeah, but only recently.

No, but I'm waiting.

No, and I don't plan to upgrade.

I don't know how to check.

Compatibility table: which Xiaomi models will get HyperOS and which will not

To avoid confusion, we have created a table with the division of devices by support status. Note that for some models the update is available only in certain regions (for example, Xiaomi 12 Lite received HyperOS only in Europe and India).

Category	Model	HyperOS status	Notes
Flagships	Xiaomi 14 Ultra	✅ Available.	The first model with pre-installed HyperOS
Mid-segment	Redmi Note 12 Pro+ 5G	✅ Available.	The update came in March 2026
Budgetary	POCO X5 Pro 5G	⚠️ Expected.	Scheduled for October 2026
Outdated.	Xiaomi Mi 11	❌ Not supported	Stays at MIUI 14.
Regional restrictions	Redmi K50i	✅ Only for India.	Global version not updated

Special attention should be paid to devices marked "Expected". For example, the POCO F4 GT and Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE were supposed to get HyperOS in the second wave, but due to technical problems, the release was postponed indefinitely. If your model is on this list, we recommend you to follow the announcements on the Mi Community forum.

⚠️ Note: Some Redmi models and POCO (Like Redmi. 10A or POCO M4 Pro) will not officially get HyperOS, but enthusiasts are already porting informal builds. Installation of such firmware can lead to loss of warranty and unstable operation of the device.

How to check if your Xiaomi HyperOS supports

Before you look for your model in the lists, you can determine the compatibility yourself directly on your phone.

Open the Settings. → The phone.
Find the line "Version" MIUI". If it says HyperOS 1.0.xxx or higher, the update has already been installed.
If the version starts with MIUI 14, go to Settings → System Update and check for available packages.

For devices that have not yet received the update, but are included in the compatibility list, you can use an alternative method:

Make sure the model is on Xiaomi’s official list

Check the firmware region (Global/CN/IN) in the settings

Update the current MIUI to the latest version

Clear the cache in the "System Update" section-->

If the update doesn’t come after all the manipulations, it’s possible that your device falls under regional restrictions, such as Xiaomi 13T Pro in Russia received HyperOS a month later than in Europe, due to localization adaptation.

💡

If your smartphone supports HyperOS but the update doesn’t come, try changing the region in the settings (for example, India or Singapore) and rechecking.

Why some Xiaomi models won’t get HyperOS: technical limitations

Despite Xiaomi’s promises to support the devices for 3-4 years, a number of models remained without HyperOS.

🔋 Outdated processor: models on Qualcomm Snapdragon chips 6xx/7xx First generation (e.g. Snapdragon) 660 Redmi Note 7) No support for new HyperOS drivers.
📉 Lack of memory: Devices with 3/32 GB 4/64 GB (e.g. Redmi) 9A) Failing to pass performance tests.
🔄 Architectural changes: HyperOS requires reworking the Android kernel, which is not possible for closed-loader devices (for example, some Chinese versions of the Xiaomi Mi 10).
💸 Xiaomi may artificially restrict updates to stimulate sales of new models.

Fun fact: Even some flagships in 2021, such as the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra, did not get HyperOS due to problems with camera drivers. Leica, the company responsible for optimizing photo modules, refused to adapt its software for the new system.

⚠️ Note: If your device does not officially support HyperOS, but you see an offer to upgrade through third-party sources is a scam. Such firmware often contains malware or spyware!

How to upgrade to HyperOS: step-by-step instructions without risks

If your smartphone is on the compatibility list, you can upgrade to HyperOS in two ways: via OTA (over the air) or manually through Fastboot. The first method is simpler and safer, the second is suitable for power users.

Method 1: Air Update (OTA)

This is a standard method that does not require additional actions:

Connect to Wi-Fi (update weighs 2-4 GB).
Go to Settings. → Updating the system.
Click "Update Checker."
If HyperOS is available, click "Download and Install".
Wait until the device is finished (it will reboot several times).

Method 2: Manual installation via Fastboot (for advanced)

This method is suitable if OTA-No updates are coming, but your model is supported:

Download the official HyperOS package for your model from the Miui Download website.
Unpack the archive and connect the phone to your PC in Fastboot mode (clip Volume Down + Power when the device is off).
Run the script. flash_all.bat (for Windows or flash_all.sh (for macOS/Linux).
Wait until the process is completed (about 10-15 minutes).

What to do if the update is suspended?

If the upgrade process stalled during the installation phase (more than 30 minutes the Xiaomi logo hangs), try: 1. Forced to restart the phone (press the power button for 15-20 seconds). 2. If the device does not turn on, go to Recovery (clamp Volume up + Power) and select "Wipe data" (this will delete all data!). 3. Repeat the update attempt. If the problem repeats, contact the service center, as a memory malfunction is possible.

Important: Before manual firmware, back up your data through Settings → Additional → Backup or using Xiaomi Cloud. In rare cases, an update may result in a reset.

What has changed in HyperOS compared to MIUI: key differences

HyperOS is not just a rebranded MIUI 15, but a fundamentally new system with a redesigned architecture, and here are some of the major innovations that users will notice:

⚡ Performance: HyperConnect technology reduces system response time 20-30%. Apps launch faster and animations are smoother.
🔋 Power efficiency: New processor control algorithm (Xiaomi Velocity) reduces energy consumption in the background.
🎨 Design: Completely redesigned interface with support for dynamic wallpaper and adaptive icons.
🔒 Security: Entered hardware data encryption (TEE 2.0), which makes it difficult to access personal information even when a device is physically hacked.
🤖 AI functions: Voice assistant XiaoAI with support for generative AI for creating texts and images.

However, not all of the changes were positive, such as some users complaining about:

📱 Disappearance of familiar gestures (for example, swipe down to call the notification bar now works differently).
🔊 Sound problems in some models (for example, in the Redmi Note 12 Pro after the update, stereo sound in the speakers disappeared).
📸 Deterioration of photo quality in automatic mode (processing algorithms have changed).

If you encounter bugs after an update, check for patches in Settings → System Update. Xiaomi regularly releases hot patches for HyperOS.

💡

HyperOS doesn't just update MIUI, it replaces the kernel, which means that rolling back to the older version is often impossible without completely streaming through Fastboot.

FAQ: Frequent questions about HyperOS on Xiaomi smartphones

My Xiaomi is not on the supported model list. Can I install HyperOS unofficially?

Technically, yes, but it comes with risks: Warranty loss (if the device is warranty-free); unstable work (bugs with the camera, network, sensors); problems with updates (unofficial firmware is rarely updated); If you do, look for ported builds on XDA Developers or 4PDA forums, but be prepared for the consequences.

HyperOS is slowing down on my smartphone. What do I do?

Try the following steps: Clear the cache in Settings → Memory → Clean. Turn off animations in Settings → Special features → Delete animations. Reset to factory settings (don’t forget to make a backup!). Check for updates in Settings → System Update. If the brakes are left, your model may not be powerful enough for HyperOS. In this case, only a pullback to MIUI (if available) will help.

Can I roll back from HyperOS to MIUI?

In most cases, not, as HyperOS changes the structure of the /system partition. However, for some models (such as the Xiaomi 13 or Redmi Note 12 Pro+), enthusiasts have created tools for downgrade.

When will HyperOS 2.0 be released and which models will be available?

At the time of writing (September 2026), Xiaomi has yet to announce HyperOS 2.0, but insiders claim that the new version will be released in the first quarter of 2026. It is assumed that it will receive: Deeper integration with AI (for example, automatic photo editing); support for foldable smartphones (for the future model of Xiaomi MIX Fold 4); Improved multitasking for tablets. The list of supported models is not yet known, but it is likely that it will be limited to devices 2023-2026 years of release.

HyperOS eats the battery faster than MIUI. Is that normal?

In the first days after the upgrade, increased battery consumption is normal. The system indexes files, optimizes applications and adapts to your habits. Give your smartphone 3-5 days to run. If the problem does not go away: Check the activity of background applications in Settings → Battery. Turn off unnecessary features (for example, Constant search for Wi-Fi or Adaptive brightness). Reset the battery settings in Settings → Battery → Three points → Reset. If nothing helps, contact Xiaomi support - perhaps a bug has been detected on your model, which will be fixed in the next patch.
