HyperOS 3.1 Global Rollout Lands on First Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO Devices Xiaomi has expanded its HyperOS 3.1 update beyond its domestic market, initiating a global rollout that begins with European devices. The latest iteration of the company’s custom operating system, built on Android 16, is now available for select Xiaomi, Redmi, and POCO models in Europe. This marks a significant step in Xiaomi’s strategy to enhance its international software ecosystem, offering users performance improvements, design refinements, and new features tailored for global audiences. The initial wave of devices receiving HyperOS 3.1 includes the Xiaomi 17, Xiaomi 17 Ultra, POCO Pad, and Redmi Pad Pro in the European region. These updates are distributed as stable builds with specific version labels: OS3.0.301.0.WPCEUXM for the Xiaomi 17, OS3.0.301.0.WPAEUXM for the Xiaomi 17 Ultra, and OS3.0.301.0.WNSEUXM for both the POCO Pad and Redmi Pad Pro. While Xiaomi has not set definitive timelines for other regions, the company plans to expand the rollout to additional markets in the coming weeks as testing concludes for more models. Users in Europe can manually check for the update by navigating to Settings > About phone and tapping the HyperOS logo at the top of the screen to trigger a version check. As with previous Xiaomi updates, the rollout is staggered, meaning availability may vary by device and country even within the same region. This phased approach ensures stability and minimizes potential disruptions during the transition. HyperOS 3.1 emphasizes system-level optimizations to improve overall performance. Xiaomi has rewritten several core system apps and fine-tuned resource management to reduce overhead, resulting in faster app launches, smoother animations, and a more responsive user experience.#europe #xiaomi #poco #redmi #hyperos
