Xiaomi has officially launched the global release of HyperOS 3.1, which is now available in Europe for select devices. This update follows an initial release in China and marks a significant expansion for the company’s operating system.
The rollout includes devices such as the Xiaomi 17, Xiaomi 17 Ultra, and Xiaomi 15T Pro, all of which will benefit from the new features and enhancements offered by HyperOS 3.1. This version is based entirely on the Android 16 platform, ensuring compatibility and improved performance.
Among the key features of HyperOS 3.1 are redesigned recent apps, which adopt an iOS-inspired design, and advanced connectivity options that enhance cross-platform communication with Apple devices. Notably, the update introduces HyperIsland to tablets for the first time, further enriching the user experience.
Additionally, the update includes the Super OTA function, designed to facilitate faster system updates, and allows for speedy pop-up pairing with Apple AirPods. These enhancements aim to improve overall usability and streamline interactions between Xiaomi devices and other platforms.
However, it is important to note that devices not eligible for the Android 16 upgrade will not receive HyperOS 3.1. This limitation may affect users with older models who are looking to take advantage of the latest features.
As Xiaomi continues to position itself as a leading brand in the smartphone market, the global release of HyperOS 3.1 reflects the company’s commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction. The enhancements in this update are expected to attract both existing users and new customers seeking a seamless experience.
First reactions from users have been positive, highlighting the improved design and functionality. Official statements from Xiaomi emphasize the importance of this update in enhancing user experience and maintaining competitiveness in the market.
With the global rollout now underway, Xiaomi aims to solidify its presence in the international market, building on its reputation as one of the most expensive phone brands in the world.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding the timeline for further regional releases, but the company is expected to provide updates as the rollout progresses.
