The global transformation of MIUI into the new HyperOS operating system has become one of the most talked-about events in the world of mobile technology. Users around the world are looking forward to seeing their devices take on new life, smoother animations and improved ecosystem connectivity. The update marks the companyβs transition to a single platform that integrates smartphones, tablets, cars and smart home devices.
Unlike previous versions of the shell, the new system is based on deep processing of the Android core and Xiaomi Velaβs own developments, which allows gadgets to work more stable and consume less power even on not-new processors. However, the main question remains compatibility: not all models released in previous years will be able to run this software package.
In this article, we will discuss in detail which models are included in the support list, how the stages of release of updates are distributed and what to do if your device is not included in the list. We analyzed official data and leaks to provide the most relevant information for owners of Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO equipment.
β οΈ Note: Official lists may be updated by region. Global firmware is often released later than Chinese firmware.
HyperOS architecture and hardware requirements
The transition to HyperOS is not just an icon change, but a fundamental change in how software interacts with hardware. The new system requires some computing resources to ensure the stated smoothness of the work and operation of artificial intelligence, which is why older devices, even those that received updates previously, can be removed from the support list.
Not only is the processor key, but the amount of RAM and the speed of the drive are also key. Engineers have implemented dynamic resource allocation technologies that are critical to the framework, and devices with legacy communication modules or slow memory controllers may not be able to keep new functions running smoothly.
Itβs worth noting that Android 14 has been the base for many versions, which automatically cuts off models stuck on older versions of the βgreen robot.β Code optimization has reduced requirements, but the physical limits of Snapdragon and MediaTek chipsets remain an insurmountable barrier to the budget segment of past years.
Technical details of the kernel
Xiaomi and Redmi flagship smartphones in the list
Top-end device owners can breathe a sigh of relief: flagships are given priority to upgrade, and first of all, updates are given to devices released in the last two or three years, which makes sense, because they have the necessary margin of performance.
The Xiaomi 13 and Xiaomi 14 series are being updated first, getting all the features of the new system out of the box or in the first weeks after release. They are followed by the Xiaomi 12 and Xiaomi 11 series models, which are also confirmed by developers for a full version of HyperOS. Adapting the interface to the large screens of foldable Fold and Flip devices is also done with special attention.
In the Redmi segment, the flagship K and Note Pro series also took a stand: users of the Redmi K60, K50 and their respective global counterparts (the Xiaomi T series) will receive an update. It is important to understand that global versions may have some differences in functionality from Chinese firmware due to differences in preinstalled services Google.
- π Xiaomi 14, 13, 12 Series β Full Update with New AI Features.
- π± Xiaomi 11 Series and 11T β Support for the main functions of HyperOS.
- π Redmi Note 13 Pro and 12 Pro β Optimization of autonomy and interface.
- β‘ Redmi K60/K50 Ultra β Increased performance in games.
Support for POCO brand devices
Special attention deserves the brand POCO, which traditionally delights users with the rapid adaptation of new versions of Android and shells. the List of devices that will receive HyperOS, includes popular models of the series F, X and M. Owners of POCO F5 and F5 Pro can count on stable operation of the system thanks to powerful processors.
The POCO X5 and X6 series are also confirmed for upgrades, but it is worth considering that rollout may take longer in some regions due to the need for additional certification of communication modules, a standard practice for sub-brands operating in the global market.
Budget models like the POCO C-series or older M-series are likely to stay on MIUI 14 or get a stripped-down version of the upgrade if specifications allow the new system's core to start.
β οΈ Attention: For devices POCO The global version of the firmware may be delayed to 3-4 months relative to the Chinese release.
Compatibility table and stages of release of updates
To organize information about which models will receive an update when, it is convenient to use structured data. The exit stages depend on the complexity of the driver adaptation and regional specificities. Below is a table with indicative timelines for key device groups.
It is important to understand that the dates are approximate and may be shifted. Developers reserve the right to suspend the distribution of the update if critical errors are detected. Therefore, having a device in the list does not guarantee instant receipt of the file by air.
| Group of devices | Examples of models | Status of renewal | Expected period |
|---|---|---|---|
| Flagships 2023-2026 | Xiaomi 14, 13, Redmi K60 | Available. | Q4 2023 - Q1 2026 |
| Flagships 2022 | Xiaomi 12, 12T, POCO F4 | Tested. | Q1 - Q2 2026 |
| Middle class | Redmi Note 12, 13 | In development | Q2 - Q3 2026 |
| Budget segment | Redmi 12, 13C | Questionable | Q3 2026 or not |
βοΈ Verification of update readiness
How to check and install HyperOS manually
If the automatic notification doesnβt come, you can try to initiate the manual check. To do this, go to Settings β About Phone β MIUI (or HyperOS) version and click on the system logo several times to activate additional features if they are hidden. Then select the Update Check button.
For advanced users, you can manually install it through Recovery. You need to download the current firmware image (Recovery ROM) from the official website or proven resources. The file must have the.zip extension and be at the root of the device's internal memory.
Once you download the file, go back to the update menu, click on the three-dot menu, and select Select the firmware file. The system will check the integrity of the data and, if the version is newer than the current one, prompt you to start installing. Important: don't interrupt the process and turn off the smartphone until the restart is complete.

Use Developer mode to get updates faster: go to About Phone, click 7 times on the build number, then in advanced settings select Get Early Versions.
There is also a method through the Updater app using debugging commands, but it requires caution: Entering commands via ADB or terminal can lead to data loss if you do not know the exact parameters of your region and model.

When you switch to a new operating system, you might encounter a number of common problems, and you're most likely to experience complaints about fast battery drain in the early days, and that's normal: the system's algorithms need to re-index the files and learn how to use them.
Another common problem is heating the device. Optimizing the background takes time. If the heating is maintained after a week of active use, it is recommended to perform a full reset (Wipe Data) after you create a backup, which will help eliminate conflicts of old configuration files.
Some apps may not work properly or crash, so check for updates to the apps themselves on Google Play. If the problem is massive, app developers typically release compatibility patches within a short time of major Android updates.
β οΈ Note: After a major system update, banking applications may require reconfiguration of biometrics or FaceID for security reasons.

Resetting to factory settings after the upgrade solves 90% of battery and heating problems, but requires data preservation.
