In October 2023, Xiaomi unveiled its revolutionary HyperOS operating system, a complete replacement for the familiar MIUI built on Android 14 with deep integration of the company’s own developments. The new OS promises not only an updated interface, but also improved performance, optimized power consumption and advanced features for the smart device ecosystem. But the main question that worries millions of users is: which Xiaomi gadgets will get HyperOS, and when to expect an update?

In this article, we’ve compiled a list of all confirmed and potential devices that will officially upgrade to HyperOS, including smartphones, tablets and even smartwatches, up to date for June 2026, and you’ll also learn how to check your device’s compatibility, what to do if your model isn’t on the list, and what pitfalls you can expect when you switch to a new OS.
