Xiaomi prepares Android 16 to a model marked as EOL on Android 15

Xiaomi has surprised all of us with a new development in their software updates, starting testings of HyperOS 3 on Android 16 for Redmi K60 Pro in China, ditching their initial test builds running on Android 15. Preliminary data has revealed that a new internal build number OS3.0.251211.1.WMKCNXM.PRE has been detected, which means that Xiaomi has started sticking to a superior version of Android in their updates.

Transition from Android 15 to Android 16 in Test Builds

Xiaomi has also been testing an Android 15-based HyperOS 3 version of Redmi K60 Pro with OS3.0.251029.1.VMKCNXM.PRE. The sudden upgrade to Android 16 indicates that development work has been happening in a relatively accelerated manner. This upgrade also supports Xiaomi’s aim of offering their smartphones a longer software lifecycle.

The REDMI K60 Pro model is available in China only, so this particular test does not affect other models worldwide. This launch, however, could signify that other Xiaomi and Redmi models are also set to test their systems using Android 16-based HyperOS 3.

Effect Possibilities for Other Xiaomi Smartphones

Since Redmi K60 Pro series models are a part of China-exclusive series, users worldwide may not feel this upgrade. However, initial tests on Android 16 reveal that Xiaomi has a unified plan for updates in upcoming HyperOS updates.

If Xiaomi pursues this further, several flagship and high-end mid-rangers are set to get similar builds of Android 16 in 2025.

    When I Bought Xiaomi , I thought They are Serious About there Xiaomi Products And They Upgrade There Firmware For Newer Phones First … But Xiaomi Always Telling About Hyper Os 3.0 And No One Even Got In There phone yet … Hyper os 3.0 only for Build in Selling Devices ,,, And Hyper os 3.0 will Come after 2 years when they Introduce … So Xiaomi For Me A scam …

    Iphone , Samsung They are Releasing Beta Testing First for all of Us Than Release there firmwar For All …

    i Signedup For Hyper os 3.0 Beta But No Firmware for Testing …
    so Xiaomi is A Scam Company ,,, Do not Trust Them ..

    For me HONOR IS way better That Xiami …
    Honor Are Super Smoth and Faster Than Xiaomi Even With Same Processore … Before you Buy Xiaomi Product , Please Think First ….
    because There Security Update also So Lazy ….

    From what I’ve read, the Redmi Note 13 4g will “NOT” get HyperOS 3, only the Redmi Note 13 5g model will get it, and that’s very very annoying!
