Emir BardakçıXiaomi’s upcoming HyperOS 2.3 update is set to deliver the most significant advancement in the company’s custom Android experience, featuring Android 16 as its foundational base. This major system upgrade builds upon the existing HyperOS 2.2 framework while introducing enhanced security protocols and refined user experience elements. The update represents Xiaomi’s commitment to providing cutting-edge software experiences that leverage Google’s latest Android innovations, though the primary focus remains on security enhancements rather than revolutionary new features. Users can track their device compatibility and update eligibility through official channels and dedicated tracking applications.
What’s New in HyperOS 2.3
The most significant enhancement in HyperOS 2.3 centers around its Android 16 foundation, which provides improved system stability, enhanced performance optimization, and most importantly, advanced security measures that protect user data and privacy.

Building on HyperOS 2.2 Foundation
HyperOS 2.3 enhances the already robust feature set introduced in HyperOS 2.2, which includes advanced customization options, improved system performance, and refined user interface elements. The new version maintains compatibility with existing features while adding the security and performance benefits of Android 16.
Google Integration and Features
While Google has not introduced specific new Android features exclusively for Xiaomi’s HyperOS implementation, the Android 16 base provides access to all standard Google services and security updates. The integration focuses primarily on maintaining system security and ensuring compatibility with Google’s ecosystem services.
Checking Update Eligibility
Users can determine their device’s Android 16 compatibility and HyperOS 2.3 eligibility through the MemeOS Enhancer application available on the Play Store. The app provides immediate visibility into update status upon launch, along with access to hidden Xiaomi features, system app updates, and direct update access from the device screen.
For comprehensive information about HyperOS 2.2 features that serve as the foundation for version 2.3, users can reference detailed feature breakdowns and compatibility guides available through official Xiaomi channels.
“Kindly add a battery charging limit feature (e.g., 80%) to Xiaomi and POCO phones. Many other brands already have this, and it’s great for long-term battery health.”
I hope they include the UI of Android 16, especially the notification panel and system tray.
