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.
