Xiaomi recently began recruiting international users for its HyperOS 3 beta program, and eligible devices are expected to get the test Android 16 firmware on September 24, 2025. XiaomiTime has now listed the first possible phones that will get the update.

The Xiaomi HyperOS 3 beta program has been running for a while in China, and so far, multiple devices have received the Android 16 test firmware. As the company has recently announced, global users can now sign up for the program, and the first international beta update is expected to land on September 24, 2025.

While Xiaomi didn't share which global devices will receive the HyperOS 3 beta update first, XiaomiTime has curated a list by factoring in the Chinese program and Xiaomi's firmware database. Per the outlet, these will be the first European and global smartphones that will receive the Android 16 test update:

  • Poco F7 (12/512 GB curr. $530.04 on Amazon)
  • Poco M7
  • Poco X7
  • Poco F6 Pro
  • Poco X7 Pro
  • Xiaomi 15 Ultra
  • Xiaomi 14 Ultra
  • Xiaomi 14T
  • Xiaomi Mi Mix Flip
  • Xiaomi Pad 7 Pro
  • Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G
  • Redmi Note 14 Pro+ 5G
  • Redmi Note 14 Pro 4G
  • Redmi Note 14
  • Redmi 13 5G
  • Redmi 15
  • Redmi 14C

Just like the Chinese beta program, the global Android 16 test firmware is expected to roll out in batches. So, after the initial rollout, more international devices should receive the beta update until Xiaomi finishes its stable update rollout plan.

Users interested in trying out HyperOS 3 in its beta form need to enroll in the program through the Xiaomi Community app. Before installing the beta Android 16 update, however, it would be a good idea to back up all the important files, as anything can go wrong with non-stable firmwares.
