Through a newly published user survey, Xiaomi has given users an early glimpse at HyperOS 3, and the changes are remarkable. Xiaomi intends to establish HyperOS as a high-end, competitive platform, as evidenced by the recent screenshot’s significant UI redesign. With significant updates to key system components, especially icons and layouts, the design language is obviously influenced by iOS. This version demonstrates Xiaomi’s continued commitment to improving its unique Android skin in order to better cater to a worldwide users.
The updated icon set is the most noticeable change. The unified, elegant look of these new icons, which closely resemble those in iOS 18, improves the user experience as a whole. This change reflects Xiaomi’s emphasis on improving brand perception among high-end users and conforming to industry-leading design standards.
The removal of the search bar on the home screen is another significant change. Xiaomi achieves a more simplified and clean home screen by removing this component, giving app icons and widgets more attention. This minimalist style should appeal to people who value clarity and simplicity and is consistent with larger trends in mobile user interface design.

New battery indicator and glass user interface
Additionally, a revised battery indication that now closely resembles the iPhone’s approach is included in HyperOS 3. In addition to updating the battery status visual representation, this update advances Xiaomi’s overarching objective of providing a recognizable, intuitive user experience that appeals to iOS customers thinking about switching.
Furthermore, Glass UI-inspired effects are incorporated into the redesigned interface, giving the system more visual refinement and depth. Together, these improvements give all supported devices a more upscale and sophisticated appearance.
Wide device compatibility
Xiaomi is extending HyperOS 3 to an extensive range of devices, reinforcing its commitment to software support:
- 33 Xiaomi models
- 44 Redmi devices
- 19 POCO devices
This broad compatibility—spanning 96 devices in total—demonstrates Xiaomi’s dedication to serving a diverse customer base, from flagship owners to budget users.
Analysts predict that Xiaomi will formally unveil HyperOS 3 in October 2025. Depending on rollout timelines and device capabilities, the update will be developed for both Android 15 and Android 16.
