Xiaomi has officially announced that HyperOS 3, its next-generation software built on Android 16, is headed to the Indian market soon. The confirmation has generated excitement among Xiaomi, Redmi and Poco users who have been waiting for clarity on the company’s latest interface overhaul. Although Xiaomi has not shared a rollout timeline, more details are expected in the coming weeks.
HyperOS 3 was first unveiled in China in September and made its global debut on the flagship Xiaomi 17 series.
Xiaomi Teases Speed and Smarter User Experience
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Xiaomi described HyperOS 3 as “faster, smarter and more seamless”, indicating improvements across performance, fluidity and everyday usability. What remains undisclosed is the final list of models eligible for the Indian update — but expectations are high that a large number of devices will qualify.
HyperIsland: Xiaomi’s Version of Dynamic Island
One of the most anticipated additions is HyperIsland, Xiaomi’s take on Apple’s Dynamic Island. It acts as a floating mini-hub for:
- Notifications
- Music controls

- Call details
Users can even opt for a dual-island layout, allowing floating elements to expand or reposition without disrupting on-screen content.
