List of Xiaomi phones that haven't received the HyperOS 3.1 update and the technical reasons behind it.
Although updates have been completed for 85% of devices, many Redmi and POCO models are still waiting for HyperOS 3.1 due to hardware optimization requirements and regional certification processes.
HyperOS 3.1 is considered a significant step forward for Xiaomi in refining the user experience; however, the rollout progress is currently quite uneven. While high-end flagship devices have already experienced the new features, a large group of mid-range and budget devices from Redmi and POCO brands are still waiting for the official update.
Xiaomi devices are awaiting the HyperOS 3.1 upgrade.
According to data from XimiTime, the list of eligible devices that have not yet received the HyperOS 3.1 update is mainly concentrated in the mainstream segment. This delay often causes impatience among users as the new security features and interface have not yet been rolled out uniformly.
Below is a detailed list of the models currently awaiting HyperOS 3.1:
| Phone line | Tablet line |
|---|---|
| Redmi Note 15 Pro 4G, Redmi Note 14 4G, Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G | Redmi Pad 2 |
| Redmi 14C, Redmi 13, Redmi 13X, Redmi A4, Redmi A3 Pro | Redmi Pad 2 Pro 5G |
| POCO M7 4G, POCO M6, POCO C85 4G, POCO C75, POCO C75 5G | Redmi Pad SE 4G, POCO Pad M1 |
Why is the HyperOS 3.1 update delayed?
Deploying software across a massive device ecosystem like Xiaomi's is never a simple task. Many technical factors affect the speed of patch releases. First is the hardware optimization process, especially for devices using older chipsets or with limited configurations. The engineering team needs to ensure that the new interface doesn't degrade performance or cause excessive battery drain.
In addition, errors frequently arise during internal testing, forcing the company to delay releases to fix bugs before widespread distribution. Finally, market-specific certification processes and differences between carriers in each country are also significant barriers, causing users in some regions to experience longer wait times.
Significant improvements in HyperOS 3.1
Although some devices are still waiting, HyperOS 3.1 is considered a quality upgrade, going beyond just regular security patches. Xiaomi has revolutionized the multitasking interface, supporting smoother and more intuitive swipe gestures, inspired by the strengths of the iOS operating system.
Most notably, Hyper Island has appeared on both smartphones and tablets. This is an interactive notification feature in the front camera area, enhanced with rich animations and the ability to visually track third-party app activity. Additionally, the Super OTA feature has been introduced, significantly shortening installation time and minimizing the risk of system errors during the upgrade process.
Overall, with approximately 85% of eligible devices having received the update since April, Xiaomi's rollout speed is still considered impressive. For users who haven't received the notification, the advice is to patiently wait for the most stable update, rather than attempting to install unofficial versions that could compromise data security.
