HyperOS 3.1 Eligible Devices: Is Your Xiaomi, Redmi, or POCO Getting the Update?
Following the significant platform shift that was HyperOS 3, Xiaomi is already moving to the next phase of its software evolution. While the previous iteration marked a major overhaul based on Android 16—introducing the Dynamic Island-inspired “HyperIsland” and a suite of generative AI tools—the newly released HyperOS 3.1 is an exercise in refinement. Currently rolling out in phases, this update focuses on polishing the user experience, enhancing system stability, and, surprisingly, bridging the gap with third-party ecosystems.
HyperOS 3.1: The “Super OTA” Architecture
Perhaps the most significant technical leap in version 3.1 is the introduction of a new update mechanism Xiaomi calls “Super OTA.” addressing one of the longest-standing friction points in the Android ecosystem, this architecture changes how the device handles system patches. Instead of long installation times and intrusive downtime, Super OTA applies updates more rapidly with minimized reboot requirements and a lower error rate, promising a far less disruptive maintenance process for the end user.
Visual Polish and Cross-Platform Harmony
While not a total visual redesign, HyperOS 3.1 brings meaningful quality-of-life improvements to the interface. The update delivers smoother system animations and refreshed designs for core applications like Weather and Gallery. The HyperIsland interface has also been upgraded with more interactive elements, allowing users to manage music, calls, and charging status with greater ease.
In a move that significantly boosts interoperability, Xiaomi has expanded its ecosystem support to include native compatibility with Apple AirPods. This integration enables quick pop-up pairing and access to spatial audio features on compatible earbuds, signaling a more flexible approach to hardware that doesn’t force users to stay within a single brand’s walled garden. Furthermore, accessibility options have been reorganized for better discoverability, and select models have gained new quick gesture controls to speed up navigation.
Under the hood, the focus remains on fluidity. The update brings optimized memory management and reduced frame stutters, ensuring that app launches and multitasking feel snappier compared to the base HyperOS 3 build.
HyperOS 3.1: Eligible Devices and Rollout Roadmap
Xiaomi has prepared an extensive compatibility list for the HyperOS 3.1 rollout, covering its three primary brand pillars. It is important to note that this rollout occurs in batches, meaning availability will vary by region and specific model variants over the coming weeks and months.
The premium Xiaomi flagship line is comprehensively covered. Eligible devices include the entire Xiaomi 17 series (Standard, Pro, Pro Max, Ultra, and Leica/Leitzphone editions), the Xiaomi 15 family (Standard, Pro, 15S Pro, 15T, 15T Pro, and Ultra), as well as the Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 13 series (Standard, Pro, and Ultra). Foldable enthusiasts using the Mix Fold 3, Mix Fold 4, Mix Flip, and Mix Flip 2 are also included, alongside the Civi 4 Pro and Civi 5 Pro. Tablet users can expect the update on the Pad 7 series, Pad 8 series, Pad 6S Pro 12.4, and the Pad 7S Pro 12.5.
For the Redmi sub-brand, the update extends to a wide range of performance and budget devices. The list includes the Redmi K90, K80, and K70 series (covering Pro, Ultra, and Max variants), as well as the Turbo 4 and Turbo 5 lineups. The popular Note series is also supported, specifically the Redmi Note 14 and 15 families (including Pro, Pro+, and S variants), along with the Redmi Note 13R and Pro 4G. Entry-level and tablet support includes the Redmi A3 series, Redmi 13X, Redmi 15 4G, and the various iterations of the Redmi Pad 2 and Pad SE.
Finally, the POCO lineup will see the update arrive on the POCO F6 Pro, POCO F7, POCO X7 Pro, and the POCO Pad M1. As the beta and stable channels progress, this list is expected to evolve, but it currently represents the vast majority of devices slated for the new software.
