Before the year ends, Xiaomi will stop supporting more than 20 devices. Many devices, ranging from the Xiaomi 12X to the Poco F4, have not yet been included in HyperOS 3 deployment schedules and will shortly reach end-of-life status.

Xiaomi has now stated that HyperOS 3, its upcoming big OS update, will be released globally initially. In summary, Xiaomi now divides the HyperOS 3 Rollout Schedule into three batches, with the first batch beginning this month and the third batch ending in March 2026. Just before to that, Xiaomi released a comparable update for the Chinese market that featured products tailored to that country, such as the Redmi K series and Mix Fold foldables.

Xiaomi HyperOS 3

Some older recent smartphones, such as the Xiaomi 11T series, have now gotten their final upgrades, as we previously noted. As a result, they are not eligible to upgrade to HyperOS 3. Even yet, some HyperOS 3 compatible devices—like the Redmi Note 14 Pro Plus—will not be able to access Hyper Island features.

It is now evident which Xiaomi devices have been left out of the company’s plans as the HyperOS 3 release timetables have been moved until the spring. For example, by February 2026, when it should get its last security update, the Poco X5 Pro 5G will be in end-of-life status. As a result, Xiaomi has excluded the gadget from its list of devices compatible with HyperOS 3. The following Xiaomi, Redmi, and Poco devices are currently scheduled to reach end-of-life status this year and are not part of the official HyperOS 3 distribution plans:

  • POCO F4
  • POCO F4 Pro
  • POCO F4 GT
  • POCO M5
  • POCO M5s
  • POCO X4 GT Pro
  • POCO X4 GT
  • POCO X5 Pro 5G
  • Redmi A2
  • Redmi A2+
  • Redmi 12C
  • Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE
  • Xiaomi 11T
  • Xiaomi 11T Pro
  • Xiaomi Mi 11i
  • Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite
  • Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G
  • Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra
  • Xiaomi Mi Mix Fold
  • Xiaomi Mix 4
  • Xiaomi 12X
