Xiaomi has started releasing its new HyperOS 3 update, built on Android 16, focusing on smoother performance, smarter AI features, and a slightly refreshed interface.
The rollout begins with the Xiaomi 15T and 15T Pro in Europe, with more devices to follow in the coming months.
Hyper Island: A new pill-shaped hub at the top of the screen that merges notifications, live activities, and quick controls. It supports over 70 apps, allowing quick replies or actions without switching apps.
AI tools:
Xiaomi claims a 30% performance boost, 21% faster app launches, and 10% better energy efficiency. The update also includes over 100 small animation tweaks for smoother navigation.
Some AI features may remain limited to higher-end models since several functions rely on Google’s cloud-based AI rather than on-device processing.
The HyperOS 3 global rollout will expand gradually through early 2026. Have you updated your device yet?
