What models Xiaomi will release HyperOS: the official list and update time

HyperOS is Xiaomi’s revolutionary firmware that aims to bring the brand’s ecosystem of devices under one operating system. Since its announcement in October 2023, users around the world have been wondering if their model will get an update to the new OS. In this article, we’ll take a look at the company’s official data, leaks and logic to predict which Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO devices will get HyperOS — and when to expect it.

It's important to understand that HyperOS isn't just a redesigned MIUI, it's a brand new Android 14 (and above) system with the unique Xiaomi Vela core. It promises improved performance, deeper integration with smart devices (from light bulbs to robot vacuum cleaners), and optimization for cross-platform tasks like synchronizing notifications between a smartphone and a Xiaomi laptop. But not all devices are capable of supporting such innovations. Let's see who's on the lucky list.

Official list of Xiaomi devices with confirmed HyperOS support

Xiaomi has already released the first wave of updates, which includes flagship and some mid-budget models, and the following are confirmed devices that are guaranteed to receive HyperOS in 2026 (data is current as of June 2026).

• 📱 Xiaomi 14, Xiaomi 14 Pro, Xiaomi 14 Ultra are the first devices with preinstalled HyperOS.
• 📱 Xiaomi 13, Xiaomi 13 Pro, Xiaomi 13 Ultra — the update is already available in stable version.
• 📱 Xiaomi 12, Xiaomi 12 Pro, Xiaomi 12S Ultra — the release is expected in the second quarter of 2026.
• 📱 Xiaomi Mix Fold 3, Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 — foldable smartphones in priority.
• 📱 Xiaomi Pad 6, Xiaomi Pad 6 Pro — tablets will get HyperOS at the same time as smartphones.

The list also includes some Redmi and POCO models:

• 🔥 Redmi K60, Redmi K60 Pro, Redmi K60 Ultra — the update is already out in beta.
• 🔥 POCO F5, POCO F5 Pro — confirmed by the developers POCO.
• 🔥 Redmi Note 12 Pro+, Redmi Note 12 Turbo — expected in the third quarter of 2026.

For convenience, we have collected data in a table with approximate dates:

⚠️ Warning: If your model is not listed, it doesn't mean it will never get HyperOS. Xiaomi traditionally reveals the full list of supported devices in three stages: first flagships, then mid-segment, and only then budget models.

HyperOS Device Selection Criteria: Why Your Smartphone May Not Get an Update

Xiaomi has not disclosed the official hardware requirements for HyperOS, but analysis of supported models reveals key factors:

1. Processor: Priority is given to Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1/2/3, Dimensity 9000/9200 and later. Devices on Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 and higher are also on the list (for example, POCO F5).
2. RAM: Minimum threshold is 8 GB (exceptions are possible for tablets).
3. Model age: Xiaomi usually supports devices no older than 2-3 years from the moment of release. For example, Xiaomi 11 (2021) is unlikely to get HyperOS.
4. Ecosystem integration: Devices with Xiaomi Smart Home support (such as foldable smartphones or tablets) have the advantage.

Another important nuance is regional policy, for example, some Redmi models for India may get upgraded later than the global versions, due to localization of services and coordination with carriers.

HyperOS requires more resources than MIUI, so older devices with 4GB of RAM or Snapdragon 6xx processors are likely to remain on MIUI 14. However, there are exceptions: for example, Xiaomi may release a “lightweight” version of HyperOS for budget models – but official confirmation is not yet available.

⚠️ Warning: If your smartphone is older than 2021 and is not part of the MIUI14 beta program, the chances of HyperOS are minimal.In this case, consider buying a new device — for example, from the Redmi Note 13 line or POCO X6 — that is guaranteed to receive the update.

How to check if your HyperOS model supports: step-by-step instructions

To find out if your device will make it to the Update List, follow the following steps:

Find out the exact model of your device in Settings → About the phone → Model

Check out the list of officially supported models at mi.com/hyperos

Make sure your device has received at least one MIUI update in the past 6 months.

Check for the beta version of HyperOS in the System Update app-->

If your model is on the official list, but the update is not coming, try:

1. Manually check the updates in Settings → About the phone → System update.
2. Connect to a stable Wi-Fi network (update weighs ~3-4 GB).
3. Clear the cache of the System Update application in the settings.
4. Register for a beta program (if available for your region).

If the device is not supported, but you want to try HyperOS, there is a risky option - install custom firmware via Fastboot or Recovery.

• 🚨 Loss of warranty.
• 🚨 Unstable operation (bugs with camera, sensors, mobile communications).
• 🚨 Blocking your Mi Account if you install it incorrectly.

HyperOS on smart watches and other Xiaomi devices: what is known

HyperOS is marketed as a cross-platform system, so it is logical to expect it to appear not only on smartphones, according to insiders, the update is planned for the following categories of devices:

• ⌚ Xiaomi Watch 2 Pro, Xiaomi Watch S3 — Update expected in late 2026.
• 📺 Xiaomi TV A Pro (2023-2026) — testing is already underway.
• 🖥️ Xiaomi Book Pro 2026 – laptops will receive an adapted version of HyperOS based on Windows 11 (dual boot).
• 🤖 Xiaomi CyberDog 2 — the robot will receive an update to improve interaction with other devices of the ecosystem.

For smartwatches, HyperOS will bring:

• 🔄 Improved synchronization of notifications with a smartphone (including third-party messengers).
• 📊 New widgets for health monitoring (e.g., AI-powered sleep analysis).
• 🎮 Support for mini-applications (e.g., smart home management right from the clock).

But there’s a caveat: Xiaomi may split updates for Chinese and global versions of devices, such as the Xiaomi Watch 2 Pro for China is already testing HyperOS, and a global version may not get it until 2026.

💡

If you have a Xiaomi or Amazfit smartwatch (owned by Xiaomi), keep an eye out for updates in the Zepp Life app. Often new features appear there earlier than in official announcements.

What to do if your Xiaomi model does not get HyperOS: alternatives and solutions

If your device isn't on the supported list, don't despair. Here are some ways to improve or get similar functionality:

1. Upgrade to the latest version of MIUI 14: Many HyperOS features (such as new animations or battery optimizations) are already ported to MIUI.

For enthusiasts, there is another option – firmware from the community, such as:

• 🛠️ Xiaomi.eu are unofficial builds of HyperOS for some models.
• 🛠️ LineageOS 21 (based on Android 14) is an open source alternative.
• 🛠️ Pixel Experience is a firmware with Google Pixel interface but with support for Xiaomi features.

⚠️ Warning: Installing unofficial firmware may result in data loss, IMEI blocking, or banking application issues (due to lack of Google Play Protect certification).

HyperOS and MIUI comparison: should you wait for the update?

Many users are wondering: is HyperOS so different from MIUI that it makes you want to change your smartphone?

If you use your smartphone as your primary working device and are actively working with the Xiaomi ecosystem (smart home, laptop, tablet), then HyperOS is definitely worth waiting for. If you only need basic functions (calls, social networks, photos), the difference will be small.

💡

The main advantage of HyperOS is not the new design, but the deep integration of devices, for example, you can start a letter on a smartphone and finish it on a Xiaomi laptop without any additional settings.

When to expect HyperOS on your model: forecasts and leaks

Based on our analysis of previous MIUI updates and Xiaomi’s official announcements, we have compiled an indicative HyperOS release schedule for different device categories:

• 📅 1 quarter 2026: Xiaomi 13/14, Mix Fold 2/3, Pad 6 (already available).
• 📅 Q2 2026: Redmi K60, POCO F5, Xiaomi 12S.
• 📅 Q3 2026: Redmi Note 12, Xiaomi 11T Pro (only for certain regions).
• 📅 Q4 2026 – Q1 2026: Redmi Note 11 (selectively), POCO X5, smartwatches and TVs.

For low-end models (like the Redmi 10 or POCO M5), the odds are minimal. Xiaomi has traditionally only supported them for 2 years after release, and HyperOS requires more powerful hardware.

If you don't want to wait, you can try manual installation through Fastboot.

1. Download the official HyperOS package for your model from the Xiaomi Firmware website.
2. Unclose the file and connect the phone to your PC in Fastboot mode (clip Volume Down + Power).
3. Run the installation script via the command line: fastboot flash boot.img fastboot flash system.img fastboot reboot

⚠️ Warning: Manual firmware can cause a device to "brick" (complete failure) if you choose the wrong version of HyperOS for your model. Always check for compatibility by device code (e.g., tissot for Mi A1).
