Xiaomi HyperOS 3 is set to launch soon, the Chinese tech giant has confirmed. Moreover, a company executive has announced the list of Xiaomi smartphones and tablets that will be the first to receive the update. The company has started the enrollment process for beta testers. The first beta version of the latest Xiaomi operating system is expected to be released soon as well. It will be an Android 16-based user interface, which might offer a redesigned experience.
The Chinese tech giant has announced (translated from Chinese) that it will unveil its latest user interface, the HyperOS 3, on August 28, during a launch event. Xiaomi is using the tagline “Everything Goes Smoothly”, hinting that the new Android 16-based OS might bring relatively more fluid transitions while switching apps and swiping through the home screen. However, the tech firm has not revealed details regarding the new additions that the HyperOS 3 update might carry. But it is safe to assume that it could carry several redesigned elements
On top of the announcement, Xiaomi's Partner and President, and President of the Smartphone Department, Lu Weibing, has revealed (translated from Chinese) via a social media post that the HyperOS 3 beta programme is now live, and interested beta testers can begin enrolling themselves for the same. He said that people can visit the Xiaomi Community's Internal Testing Centre website to register and receive beta updates for their eligible devices.
Weibing also revealed the list of devices that will be eligible to receive the HyperOS 3 beta versions, making them the first phones and tablets to get the update. Xiaomi will initially roll out the HyperOS 3 update for the Xiaomi 15 Ultra, Xiaomi 15S Pro, Xiaomi 15 Pro, Xiaomi 15, Redmi K80 Pro, and Redmi K80 Extreme Edition smartphones. The list of tablets includes the Xiaomi Pad 7S Pro with a 12.5-inch display and the Xiaomi Pad 7 Pro.
Earlier, Xiaomi was expected to unveil the HyperOS 3 along with its purported Xiaomi 16 series smartphones, which were said to run the Android 16-based user interface out of the box.
