The new version of HyperOS 3.1 for the global market is being rolled out, as confirmed by reports that have emerged online in recent hours. Currently, the update is limited to Europe and only to four products. Xiaomi is updating the Xiaomi 17 and 17 Ultra, the only two components of the 17 series that the company has launched in Europe, along with the POCO Pad and Redmi Pad Pro tablets.

Another highlight is the implementation of Super OTA, a new feature designed to speed up the update process, minimizing reboot times and errors. There is also native support for Apple's AirPods for quick pairing via pop-up and the ability to leverage spatial audio. More devices are expected to begin receiving HyperOS 3.1 in the coming weeks.
