Prepare yourself for a whole new way to use your Xiaomi gadget! As part of the forthcoming Xiaomi HyperOS 3 upgrade, the company is introducing an exciting new feature dubbed Hyper Island. This creative new menu will show up in a pill-shaped notch area surrounding the camera cutout on your screen, much like Apple’s Dynamic Island. You will be able to quickly and easily access media controls, navigation instructions, and notifications.

This revolutionizes the way you handle your daily responsibilities on your phone by providing a seamless and user-friendly interface that makes multitasking effortless. Users greatly benefit from Xiaomi’s ongoing dedication to software innovation, which solidifies their position as a market leader in the mobile space.
Without taking up too much space on your screen, the Hyper Island function is made to place important information where you need it. A fluid, interactive pill-shaped menu will extend from the top of your screen in place of a typical notification banner or pop-up, giving you a seamless view of everything from incoming messages to media playback controls and even detailed instructions when using maps. This is a totally redesigned user experience that is entertaining and highly useful; it’s about more than simply notifications.
Beginning in late 2025, Xiaomi intends to release the HyperOS 3 update in stages. This is a complete list of devices that have been confirmed to get the update, arranged according to when it is expected to be released.
