Xiaomi silently discontinues software updates for two models
Xiaomi has quietly stopped supporting software updates for the Redmi 12C and its international counterpart, the POCO C55. No new firmware, including HyperOS 2, has been released in the last two months, and the devices were last updated with the October 2025 security patch. These devices are anticipated to become officially EOL in February 2026, according to Xiaomi’s internal software roadmap.

Why these devices eeached EOL

For its entry-level series, Xiaomi has clear updating policies. The POCO C55 and Redmi 12C were marketed as reasonably priced smartphones designed for everyday use, typically with shorter support cycles.

Each device finished its usual update window with HyperOS maintenance releases and Android fixes prior to hitting EOL. This change is intended to allow Xiaomi to focus attention on more recent models and maintain system stability throughout the ecosystem.

Expected End of Life Timeline
- Last update: October 2025 security patch
- No updates released: November–December 2025
- Official EOL: Scheduled for February 2026
- Affected models:
  - Redmi 12C (China)
  - POCO C55 (Global)
What you can do if you device reached EOL

Users can still improve device stability by updating compatible system apps even after system firmware updates have ceased. Xiaomi smartphone owners have two reliable options:

Recommended Update Channels
- HyperOSUpdates.com: provides direct links to Xiaomi system app packages.
- MemeOS Enhancer app on Google Play – allows users to update system apps, enable hidden features of Xiaomi, and manage interface components smoothly.
EOL does not automatically affect device functionality, and users may still experience adequate performance for daily tasks.

With smartphones that offer increasingly better performance and longer support cycles, Xiaomi continues to broaden its selection of reasonably priced products. As part of the broader shift to the enhanced environment offered by HyperOS and more efficient update delivery, devices like the Redmi 12C and POCO C55 are being retired organically. A more explicit software policy is anticipated in upcoming budget releases.

Redmi K90 Ultra set for big upgrades, including a 165Hz screen and 8000mAh battery

The Redmi K90 Ultra, which will probably arrive in China in a few months, is already being discussed in the rumor mill after Redmi unveiled the K90 and K90 Pro Max in October. Digital Chat Station‘s early information suggests significant improvements over the current models, providing a first glimpse of Xiaomi’s potential lineup expansion. The information provides a first look, and as launch draws near, more clarity is probably in store.

Redmi K90 Ultra key specs

The Redmi K90 Ultra is anticipated to include a 6.8-inch LTPS OLED display with a 1.5K resolution and a quick refresh rate of 165 Hz, according to the leak. The device may include a metal central frame for increased durability, and the screen is rumored to feature rounded corners.

Strong water protection is also anticipated, which is consistent with the stronger resistance ratings of more recent high-end models. An improved audio system and an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner are two more anticipated enhancements.

Battery capacity appears to be one of the most notable features. According to rumors, the phone would have a battery of about 8,000 mAh, which is a significant improvement over the K90 Pro Max and earlier Ultra models. Additionally, a specialized high frame rate software layer that could improve the overall performance profile—particularly for gaming—is hinted at by the tipster.

According to reports, the MediaTek Dimensity 9 series chipset powers the Redmi K90 Ultra. This might be the Dimensity 9500 Plus, which is expected to be released in 2026. The leak characterizes the Ultra as a performance-focused model, implying that photography may continue to be at a respectable but not flagship-leading level, even though camera details have not been disclosed.

The K80 Ultra’s June 2025 release cycle is anticipated to be followed by the K90 Ultra. The K90 Ultra might make its Chinese debut around the middle of 2026 if Xiaomi sticks to this schedule. It’s possible that a modified K90 Ultra may go on sale as a Xiaomi flagship worldwide.

Redmi is testing smartphone with massive 10,000mAh battery

Xiaomi May Rethink Mid-Range Battery RegulationsChinese manufacturers are working to overcome the barrier beyond 7,000mAh and 8,000mAh batteries as smartphone battery technology continues to advance. According to reputable industry sources and well-known leakster @DigitalChatStation, the trial molding process has been completed, and the new 10,000mAh± battery is about to go into mass production. Xiaomi and Redmi are probably going to include this innovative battery into one of their upcoming mid-range phones.

In its products, Xiaomi has always placed a strong emphasis on battery life and energy efficiency. Therefore, the creation of a 10,000mAh-class battery is a significant step toward the realization of smartphones with longer battery lives, which is one feature that consumers are very excited to see improved in smartphones. It is expected that a Redmi device will use the technology.

Since fitting a battery with a 10,000mAh capacity is technically difficult in terms of weight and thermals, this development demonstrates Xiaomi’s determination to balance capacity and design usability.

Two smartphones will have 10,000mAh± batteries, according to DigitalChatStation. One of the devices has a Dimensity 8500 processor, while another has a 6.8-inch 1.5K LTPS flat display with a Snapdragon 7 series processor. Although these models have not yet been confirmed, it has been speculated that one may be from Xiaomi’s Redmi series because it may be intended to be a “Ultra Battery” variant.

Surprisingly, though, neither gadget will support wireless charging. This guarantees that the devices’ long battery life and reasonable cost will maintain their success in the mid-range market.

A significant shift in the industry began with the release of smartphones with five-digit battery capacities. In the past, only rugged cellphones and power banks have such capabilities. With Xiaomi’s arrival into this market, battery capacity with such proportions may become more common, providing the business with yet another reason to rank among the top in terms of battery life. Xiaomi will undoubtedly have a significant advantage over its rivals because to this technology.

Additionally, users would be able to benefit from unparalleled standby times and all-day intensive use without recharging because to HyperOS’s optimization of background operations and hardware resources.

HyperOS 3 Beta update lifts restrictions, making Hyper Island available for all users

By removing internal limitations in the most recent HyperOS 3 Beta version, Xiaomi has expanded access to its “Hyper Island” feature, which was previously only available for flagship models. All Xiaomi, Redmi, and POCO devices—including tablets and entry-level smartphones – can now use Hyper Island thanks to this upgrade. In an effort to be more inclusive throughout its product line, the business removed device-specific tags (such IS_PAD and isLowLevel) that had previously restricted interoperability.

What is Xiaomi Hyper Island?

Xiaomi‘s integrated notification and background activity control interface, Hyper Island, is located at the top of the screen and was inspired by Apple’s Dynamic Island. Although the functionality was initially designed for high-performance devices, recent advancements have made it possible for it to function properly on devices with less powerful hardware.

This change is in line with Xiaomi’s overarching plan to encourage uniformity and feature parity throughout its network of devices. Xiaomi hopes to improve customer satisfaction and device durability inside the HyperConnect ecosystem by offering flagship-level user interface experiences on more reasonably priced products.

However, the Island can function without animations on certain devices.

Hyper Island with the most recent update will be immediately sent to those that take part in the HyperOS 3 Beta program.

Xiaomi’s continued dedication to providing a consistent and all-encompassing user experience across all device categories is in line with this progress.

Xiaomi’s HyperOS 3.1 update introduces iOS-like recent apps view

Zhang Guoquan, the director of mobile software for Xiaomi, has stated that the business will start testing the layered background interface in HyperOS internally in December. This impending update will improve Xiaomi phones’ multitasking capabilities by providing a more user-friendly and aesthetically pleasing background management experience. Through Zhang’s interactions with Weibo users, the functionality was made public, demonstrating Xiaomi’s ongoing dedication to enhancing the real-world user experience using HyperOS, the company’s unified operating system.

A Xiaomi devotee responded in a Weibo debate by calling for the inclusion of a stacked background interface, particularly given the larger screens of modern smartphones that necessitate more fluid multitasking capabilities. Zhang Guoquan replied, “Received, working on it,” to the comment. He then added that the functionality is currently in the demonstration stage but still undergoing optimization. The code is now being finished by programmers, and internal testing is expected to start in December.

Stacked Background Interface?

Users can see running apps as a deck of cards arranged on top of each other, from largest to smallest, depending on which card is accessed first thanks to the stacked background interface. Similar to the multitasking interfaces found in webOS (2009) and later in Apple’s iOS 9, users can swipe up to close apps or left or right to navigate between them.

In place of conventional grid-patterned task lists, this structure provides an interactive and spatial method of managing applications. It makes it possible to maximize screen real estate, which is particularly helpful on devices with large screens like the Xiaomi 15 Pro and Xiaomi Pad 7.

Originally developed in webOS, stacked multitasking was first used on phones like the Palm Pre, which also popularized features like wireless charging and gesture navigation, which are now commonplace on the majority of contemporary smartphones. This kind of multi-application management became popular once Apple adopted the UI in iOS 9.

With HyperOS, Xiaomi appears to be bringing back these antiquated ideas while modernizing them with fluid animations, AI enhancements, and improved performance scaling.

It is anticipated that the stacking interface will be included in HyperOS’s 2025 upgrades, maybe in the feature package that comes after HyperOS 3.1. When public testing starts, Xiaomi customers should anticipate smoother animations, more fluid multitasking, and better use of display real estate. These features are in line with Xiaomi’s overarching goal of using Xiaomi HyperConnect to build an intelligent, connected user ecosystem.
