Emir BardakçıXiaomi’s Director of Mobile System Software, Zhang Guoquan, recently hinted at the upcoming launch of HyperOS 3.0 Beta, fueling anticipation among industry observers and brand loyalists. Zhang, engaging with users on social media, commented, “I can’t say, it’ll be soon,” in response to queries about the beta’s release date—a clear indication that the project is nearing a key milestone.
The company’s significant investment in R&D—over $10 billion for three consecutive quarters—underscores its commitment to advancing core technologies. HyperOS is currently at the forefront of Xiaomi’s innovation strategy, and all development resources have now been redirected to version 3.0. HyperOS 2 development has ceased entirely, demonstrating Xiaomi’s confidence in the next-generation platform, which is scheduled for a September launch in line with the firm’s traditional product cycle.
Beyond the operating system itself, Zhang addressed user questions regarding expanded service integration, specifically mentioning the 12306 railway booking system for Xiaomi’s Travel Assistant. While originally expected to launch alongside HyperOS 3.0, this integration may arrive ahead of schedule—a move that could further strengthen Xiaomi’s ecosystem.

According to recent leaks, Xiaomi 16 smartphone will be the first to ship with HyperOS 3.0. The device is expected to introduce an adaptive notification system reminiscent of Apple’s Dynamic Island, leveraging the front camera cutout for contextual information—a noteworthy design and UX evolution for the brand.
Tools for Early Adoption
For users interested in early access to HyperOS features, Xiaomi highlights resources such as HyperOSUpdates.com and the MemeOS Enhancer app on Google Play. These platforms allow users to preview hidden features and manage system updates, fostering greater engagement with Xiaomi’s software ecosystem.
With the September launch window approaching, Xiaomi is clearly positioning HyperOS 3.0 as a flagship advancement, both for its hardware and software portfolios.
