Xiaomi has announced the release schedule for its Android 16-based HyperOS 3 update, and the new software version will first be rolled out to the Xiaomi 15 series and Redmi K80 Pro smartphones, starting mid-October. By the end of next month, the Chinese smartphone maker will release the software version for its smartwatches, tablets, smart TVs, and a foldable phone, too. Although Xiaomi devices will start receiving the update from next month, some of the older smartphone models, smart TVs, and smartwatch variants will be updated by January 2026.
The Chinese smartphone maker recently published a detailed release schedule for the Android 16-based HyperOS 3 update, along with the names of the devices that will get the update.

It is important to note that the Xiaomi 17 series, comprising the Xiaomi 17, Xiaomi 17 Pro, and Xiaomi 17 Pro Max, is also scheduled to launch in China this month, on September 25. It would be the company's flagship smartphone lineup, which will run the Android 16-based HyperOS 3 out-of-the-box.
Xiaomi's foldable phone, Mix Flip 2, will get the update on October 31, along with the Redmi K80 and the mid-range handset Civi 5 Pro. Apart from the phones, Xiaomi's Tablet 7 series, Redmi K Pad, Xiaomi TV S Pro Mini LED 2025 series, and Watch S4 series will also receive the update on October 31.
