A number of well-known devices will not be included in Xiaomi’s stated plans for the Android 16 update. Rather, the last significant software update for these models will be HyperOS 3, which is based on Android 15. With this choice, a sizable section of Xiaomi’s product lineup—including certain flagship and mid-range models—will no longer receive updates.

This strategy is in line with common Android industry standards, which call for limited device support. Xiaomi will focus on improving HyperOS for compatible devices in the future, guaranteeing continuous feature additions and system enhancements.

The following POCO devices will receive HyperOS 3 as their final major update:

  • POCO C65
  • POCO F5 5G
  • POCO F5 Pro
  • POCO M6 Pro
  • POCO X6 Neo
