Earlier this year, the China-based startup launched HyperOS 2 based on Android 15 in the worldwide market. The creation of the next iteration is already said to be begun. According to a source, the rumored HyperOS 3 might be deployed as soon as the third quarter (Q3) of 2025, coinciding with the expected launch of the Xiaomi 16. This development is consistent with Google's reported release timeline for Android 16, which is expected to begin next month.
Xiaomi HyperOS 3 Release Timeline
Tipster Digital Chat Station (machine translated from Chinese) revealed information on the HyperOS 3 release timeline on the Chinese microblogging site Weibo. The OS, which is supposed to be a skin for Android 16, is scheduled to be delivered in Q3 2025. However, it is not the only operating system upgrade planned to be released within the Q3 2025 launch timeframe.
It is expected to be joined by Oppo's ColorOS 16, Vivo's OriginOS 6, and Honor's MagicOS 10.
Xiaomi's HyperOS 3 is expected to have a similar launch timeframe as the rumored Xiaomi 16, and may ship with the smartphone out of the box. It is expected to make its Chinese debut in September or October, following the release timetables of prior iterations like as the Xiaomi 15, which was released in October.
Meanwhile, the China-based OEM is apparently sending out the stable HyperOS 2.2 upgrade to up to 12 devices in its range. It increases the system's smoothness and responsiveness, as well as battery optimization techniques. The business has combined a revamped notification management system with artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities focused on productivity and camera. The latter is expected to be updated to Camera Interface 6.0, while HyperOS 2.2 is believed to increase cross-device interoperability with Xiaomi devices.
The Xiaomi 15 series, Xiaomi 14 series, Redmi K70 series, Poco X7 series, and Poco F7 lineup are apparently among the devices that will receive the HyperOS 2.2 upgrade.
