All Xiaomi phones set to get Android 16 (HyperOS 3)

Xiaomi phones are set to receive HyperOS 3, based on Android 16, later this year. The Chinese tech giant has confirmed that dozens of devices are eligible, making it the biggest software upgrade yet. With Android 16 already rolling out, the next software version is expected to enter an open beta by late July-August 2025.

The rollout strategy will be similar to previous years, with flagship Xiaomi devices receiving the update in the second half of 2025, and budget Redmi and POCO brands delayed into 2026. As usual, the update will first be released in China, with a global release in the months that follow.

Let's look at all smartphones set to be upgraded to the new Android version.

Xiaomi has already started testing Android 16 in beta on select flagship models. No surprises there. Given Google's earlier-than-usual Android 16 release timeline, Xiaomi has jumped into the new versions quickly for its high-end lineup.
