Xiaomi rolled out HyperOS 3 for select devices, though the update faced initial instability. The Xiaomi 13T Pro, which received HyperOS 3 over Android 16 last month, had to roll back the update due to random bootloops and reboots. Xiaomi claims the issue is resolved, urging users to manually check for the update via Settings if unnotified.

The Poco F5 gets a HyperOS 3 overhaul but remains on Android 15. Since the device already received two major updates, Xiaomi is applying its custom skin atop the older Android version. This divergence highlights Xiaomi's strategy to layer HyperOS without forcing a full OS upgrade on older hardware.

Users can manually trigger the update by navigating to Settings > About Phone > Update. Xiaomi emphasizes stability improvements in HyperOS 3, which includes deeper integration with its ecosystem and enhanced performance optimizations. Early adopters report smoother multitasking and refined UI animations.

This update underscores Xiaomi's push to unify its software ecosystem across devices. While the Android 16 integration for the 13T Pro marks progress, the Poco F5's reliance on Android 15 signals practical constraints in simultaneous OS and skin upgrades. Stability remains a priority for Xiaomi as it scales HyperOS deployments.
