Rumors are circulating that Xiaomi may be following in Apple's footsteps by changing the name of its upcoming HyperOS operating system based on Android 16. Instead of HyperOS 3, the company might release HyperOS 26 to align with the calendar year. This move could simplify marketing and help users better understand the release timeline.
As Apple plans to switch to a similar naming scheme for its operating systems, Xiaomi seems to be considering a similar approach. However, this strategy could pose challenges for the company in terms of maintaining a strict release schedule to stay in sync with the calendar year.
Stay tuned for more updates as we approach the expected launch window of HyperOS 26 around October or November.
