Why your Xiaomi HyperOS update is delayed during the 2026 holiday

Xiaomi and other prominent China technology companies are currently at an official celebration of the New Year. This mandated holiday began on January 1 and will end on January 3, 2026. During this period, the staff involved in Xiaomi software and global firmware releases will not be at their workstations. This will therefore lead to the interruption of HyperOS updates, as this company will give priority to staff rest after the holiday before proceeding with the normal schedule.

The Official Holiday Schedule and Update Suspension

The holiday marking the transition of the 2026 New Year in China is a three-day weekend. It’s a known fact that Xiaomi observes a pause in its bi-weekly beta version upgrades. This also applies to stable software upgrades. Reason enough that the monitoring teams’ activity level is reduced. It’s also expected that most of the engineering teams get back to their normal activity level on the 5th of January, 2026, to overcome the backlog of upgrades.

Effect on HyperOS and System Application Deployment

Although the installation of major OTA updates has been suspended, work on the next feature developments has not been neglected. Users might find that there is nothing new regarding security patches or feature updates for devices such as the Xiaomi Pad 7 or smartphones for the specific week. In case you are seeking updates pertaining to specific system elements while the installation process has been suspended, you can make use of the MemeOS Enhancer app on Google Play Store.

Restart of Normal Engineering Work

The normal business activities are expected to be completely back in order by Monday, January 5. Once the holiday period has ended, the emphasis would again be on the mass deployment of the HyperOS in the different product portfolios, including the flagship models with the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. Xiaomi has always been a manufacturer with a stringent update frequency, and the ongoing postpone in the updates is a normal procedure in line with the country’s holiday regulations.

    Dear Xiaomi/Poco,
    1. Don’t commit to timelines if u can’t deliver
    2. When public is asking for certain features, atleast consider them
    3. There is no point in giving 3 years of updates if new features stop coming after first year

    Whoever is in charge for their software development strategy needs to step back. They are ruining their reputation and scare away (loyal) global users from their brand. I used to be a Xiaomi fan since I bought the first roborock vacuum years ago. I got bunch of different devices and in general I’m really happy with them. But their mobile software development for the global market is a disgrace. It works for China from what I can tell but they seem so busy supporting them that pretty much every other region is falling short. I’m probably not going to buy anything that may require software updates because unfortunately they can’t provide it.
