Xiaomi has announced that several Redmi, POCO, and Xiaomi flagship devices will cease to receive major software updates after HyperOS 3 (based on Android 15), meaning they will not get Android 16. This marks the final significant update for these models, after which their software support will largely end.

• Over 20 models across Redmi, POCO, and Xiaomi ranges are affected.
• The HyperOS 3 update is expected in September, offering a design refresh and enhanced customization.
• Affected local users in Kenya and Africa primarily own Redmi phones, which are officially sold in the region.
