In these hours Xiaomi has officially opened registrations for the new beta phase, currently dedicated only to Chinese users.

In a post published on the official social channels, Xiaomi opened the doors to the second beta phase of HyperOS: registrations started today (22 January) and pertain to the brand’s top tier. The second wave of compatible devices will be able to register starting January 30. Below is the list of required smartphones and tablets.

From January 22

  • Xiaomi 17, 17 Pro, 17 Pro Max, 17 Ultra

From January 30

  • Xiaomi 15, 15 Pro, 15 Ultra, 15S Pro
  • Xiaomi 14, 14 Pro, 14 Ultra
  • Xiaomi MIX Flip 2
  • Redmi K80, K80 Pro, K80 Ultra
  • Xiaomi Pad 7 Ultra

The registered users will receive the beta starting from the indicated date, directly via OTA. The brand does not specify when the stable version will arrive or the release name. Almost certainly this is the HyperOS 3.1 software, with various novelties coming.

The launch would be expected – according to leaks – during February, but with a limitation. Indeed it seems the build will arrive only for smartphones and tablets updated to Android 16; models with HyperOS 3 stuck on Android 15 will not receive the update.

Regarding the Global release, there are currently no details on timing. The new features coming are not yet known, and yet there is talk of a long-discussed addition. The update should finally introduce the iOS-style Recent Apps, a feature requested by users themselves.
