Xiaomi HyperOS 3.1 beta testing on 10 devices, includes new features

Xiaomi is accelerating the rollout of HyperOS 3.1 and has already begun the next wave of testing for this new interface based on Android 16. While the company is still finishing the distribution of HyperOS 3.0, beta versions of HyperOS 3.1 have been spotted on ten additional devices across various regions, signaling preparations for a broader release.

The latest testing phase includes smartphones and tablets from different product lines. This covers the Redmi K70 and K70 Pro, Redmi Turbo 4 and Turbo 4 Pro, POCO F6 Pro and POCO F7, as well as the POCO X7 Pro. The update is also being tested on the Xiaomi 15T and Xiaomi 14T Pro, the Redmi Note 15 5G, and from the tablet side, the Redmi Pad 2 Pro 5G and its global variants, including the model known as the POCO Pad M1. Overall, HyperOS 3.1 is reaching both flagship devices and popular mid-range models.

Beta builds have already been detected in China, Europe, Russia, India, Turkey, Indonesia, Taiwan, and on global firmware. In practice, this means participants in testing programs in these regions may receive the update earlier than others, though the rollout itself typically happens in stages rather than all at once for every user.

It's worth noting that HyperOS 3.1 will focus not only on visual changes but also on functional improvements. The updated Super Island will become more interactive and gain expanded support for third-party apps, the lock screen will offer more customization options, and system apps like Gallery and Weather will feature new animations. Xiaomi is also refining performance, gestures, and accessibility features.

One detail that stands out is the deeper integration with the Apple ecosystem. The system will offer quick pairing with Apple TWS headphones and support for spatial audio, which is unusual for an Android-based interface and highlights Xiaomi's effort to make HyperOS more versatile.
