About a month ago, Xiaomi officially announced HyperOS 3, based on Android 16, marking a new chapter in the company’s operating system development. The company has officially published the stable rollout schedule of HyperOS 3 in the global market. In this article, we’ll go over everything you need to know about HyperOS 3, including its features and the complete list of devices eligible for the update.
Xiaomi HyperOS 3 (Android 16) is here
The president of Xiaomi Group Partner and Mobile Phone Division, Mr. Lu Weibing, said that HyperOS 3 is now a new starting point of Xiaomi’s operating system development. This fresh phase focuses on making the system smoother, more responsive, and more intuitive for its users.
What is new in HyperOS 3?
Xiaomi says its latest take on Android has some significant optimization in terms of performance as well. Besides smoother animations across the system, HyperOS 3 reportedly reduces app load time by 21%.
Gamers can expect an even better experience here with 15% better 1% low fps and 9% lower power draw as well.
The new Super Island
Besides all those under-the-hood optimizations, HyperOS 3 brings a lot of iOS-inspired features too.
Like Xiaomi’s take on Apple’s Dynamic Island, called “Super Island,” which offers contextual information about real-time app activities. But unlike iOS, Super Island remains active in the notification panel as well.
Whereas HyperOS 3-powered smartphones will work a lot better with different Apple devices, too. You will be able to run your Xiaomi phone’s app directly on your iPad or MacBook and even share images and sync notifications between your Xiaomi phone and an iPhone.
Other changes
Xiaomi has also introduced a notable visual refresh across the UI. Including redesigned app and status bar icons, and better notification organization. The company has also updated the “Dynamic Wallpaper” we first saw on HyperOS 2 (Android 15) to add more cinematic depth effects and better lockscreen customization.
The one new feature that caught my eye is HyperOS 3’s offline positioning, which should let you find supported devices when they’re offline or switched off.
