The Xiaomi 14 series, MIX Flip, MIX Fold 4, and Redmi K70 range are among the additional smartphones that Xiaomi is releasing HyperOS 3 for. Owners of these phones can now receive an early sample of the Android 16-based upgrade before the stable release occurs later this year, while testing is still ongoing.
A new batch of Xiaomi and Redmi smartphones have been added to the HyperOS 3 beta program, which enables a small group of customers to test drive the company’s latest software prior to its general release. Owners of the Xiaomi 14 series, MIX Flip, Redmi K70 lineup, and Xiaomi Pad 6S Pro are being invited to participate in the most recent round. They will have the opportunity to test an early build of HyperOS 3, which is based on Android 16, and assist the software team in resolving any significant bugs or issues before the scheduled stable rollout.
The list of gadgets receiving the most recent wave of the HyperOS 3 beta:
Although the closed beta is now only available for Chinese models, international versions will soon follow. A broader deployment appears inevitable, as Xiaomi has already begun similar beta tests for international models such as the Xiaomi 14 Ultra, Xiaomi 14T, POCO F7, Redmi 15C, and POCO C85.

To obtain HyperOS 3, you must apply for a position in the program through the Xiaomi Community app if you possess any of the devices mentioned above that have a China ROM. For every device, two groups of testers will be hired; testers in the first batch will have instant access to the update, while testers in the second batch may have to wait up to ten days. Before beginning, make sure you have a complete backup of your device and have read the instructions.

The Chinese Xiaomi 14 series, MIX Fold 4, MIX Flip, and Redmi K70 devices are expected to receive the stable HyperOS 3 update in November. Global variants such as the Xiaomi 14 series, the Xiaomi Pad 6S Pro 12.4, the POCO F6 Pro (a rebranded Redmi K70), and the POCO X6 Pro (a rebranded Redmi K70E) will be released in November, with the full deployment continuing into December.
