According to blogger leaks, the Xiaomi 17 Ultra sports an advanced large circular camera system that incorporates the industry’s largest sensor and a new telephoto system. Additionally, it is expected to have an external lens system for advanced photography. By integrating its multispectral sensor and physical zoom system, this device is intended to have DSLR camera capability, a significant advancement from its predecessor, Xiaomi 14 Ultra.

Xiaomi’s UWB Extension on Different Devices

With the arrival of Xiaomi’s range of electric cars, UWB is now more integral than ever before as part of device interconnectivity. For example, Xiaomi’s 15S Pro boasts UWB functionality for keyless car entry and automatic trunk opening. Xiaomi is set to break all barriers again with its new Xiaomi 17 Ultra, offering improved functionality for proximity detection, contactless payments when going through transit gates, and operating and managing other devices.

Global Release coming soon.

Global variant model numbers of Xiaomi’s 17 Ultra series could be 2512BPNDAG and 25128PNA1G. Unlike previous years that saw Xiaomi forgo satellite connectivity, this time around, the satellite capability is expected to be included as well, marking a huge advancement in Xiaomi’s plans for its flagships on the global market.

Equipped with Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 100W fast wired charging, and advanced camera hardware, this series of Xiaomi 17 Ultra is expected to be one of the most powerful and interconnected phones of 2026.

This new mid-range smartphone with MediaTek Dimensity 9 is in the making and is said to be none other than the Redmi Turbo 5 Pro as popular tipster @DigitalChatStation. This new smartphone is soon to take over in terms of battery performance by offering a 9000mAh single-cell silicon battery that will have 100W fast charging capabilities—an entirely new experience in mid-range technology.

Advanced Design and Display Capabilities

Redmi Turbo 5 Pro is also rumored to come with a 1.5K LTPS large angle flat screen that will offer colorful and clear visuals while gaming or watching. This product’s metallic body and simplified design trend match well with Xiaomi’s latest designs in recent versions. Moreover, Redmi Turbo 5 Pro is also likely to offer several exciting features such as a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint sensor or IP-rated water-resistant capabilities as well as dual symmetrical speakers.

Community Speculation and Insider Clues

In an attempt to quash user speculations, DigitalChatStation teased that it will include a “vertical Deco” design – a unique camera setup that might make Redmi Turbo 5 Pro unique compared to its contemporaries. Although some users related this compact design to OnePlus Ace 5 Ultra’s release, rumors also lingered about an affiliation with an impending Xiaomi 17 Air. But according to this blogger, it is not related to the latter, thus solidifying speculations that it is actually Redmi Turbo 5 Pro.

Battery Technology and Charging Innovation

In a previous report, it was highlighted that Xiaomi has already finalized its 9000mAh± single-cell silicon battery and is currently testing 10000mAh± options in its lab. This is just one of the signs of Xiaomi’s desire to have a balance between its energy density and charging speed. Moreover, it is also predicted that this new flagship will come with 100W flash charging technology so that it is possible to completely charge its large battery within 30 minutes.

Quick Look Back Redmi Turbo 4 Pro

By comparison, the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro came with a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset, a 6.83-inch 1.5K LTPS flat screen, a 50MP + 8MP dual-camera setup, and 90W fast charging as well as 22.5W reverse charging. It also featured charging capabilities for earphones, Smartwatches, and similar accessories. Now, it appears that the Turbo 5 Pro will prove to be its real successor in terms of longer battery life and flagship specs.

A new tablet from POCO, a sub-brand of Xiaomi, has been spotted lurking in the background at Geekbench. This new tablet is listed with a model number of 25099RP08G and is rumored to come as a new POCO Pad X1. This new tablet will allegedly come paired with a Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 SoC, an 8GB of RAM option, and will boot Android 15 with a new HyperOS skin, as reported by GizChina & IT Home.

That is, with a single core score of 1811 points and a multi-core score of4600 points, it is clear that POCO Pad X1 is a powerful mid-range gadget. This is because it will be capable of offering an efficient performance similar to that of flagships at an affordable price. Note that this performance was from an engineering prototype and is therefore likely to be varied when it is in the market.

POCO is ready to take over the tablet market with the POCO Pad X1 and POCO Pad M1

A POCO version of Xiaomi Pad 7

Reports indicate that the POCO Pad X1 has a common foundation in terms of hardware with the Xiaomi Pad 7, whose launch in China has already been done. This is a product that is equipped with a Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 SoC that is known to offer a lot of power while consuming low power. On its part, an 11.2-inch 144Hz LCD screen, 8850mAh battery, and 45W fast charging component is present in the Xiaomi Pad 7.

It is likely that this tablet will come with some minor design differences like color versions and brand differences that are common in POCO’s line of globally sold products. This tablet will fall in a category that is neither fully budget nor fully flagship, so it will come at a cheaper rate than that of Xiaomi’s Pad Series.

Expected release and software details

POCO Pad X1 will be launched soon in countries around the globe as a part of POCO’s ever-expanding line of affordable performance-centric offerings. POCO Pad X1 is also likely to come pre-installed with Android 15 based HyperOS.

Xiaomi’s Extra RAM (also known as Memory Extension) does work, but only in specific situations. It’s not as powerful as real physical RAM, yet it provides noticeable benefits for users with lower-end devices. The feature temporarily borrows a piece of your phone’s internal storage (UFS) — let’s say 3GB, 5GB, or 8GB — and converts it into virtual memory.

How Virtual RAM Works

Physical RAM is extremely fast and holds the data of running applications. Virtual RAM, however, borrows a slower section from the device’s storage. When your phone runs out of physical RAM, Xiaomi’s system moves less active apps to this extended memory instead of closing them.

For instance, when you transition from Chrome, Instagram, and a game, Memory Extension helps park unused apps into this slower memory. When you return, the app takes less time to open than opening it from scratch — but not as fast as if it were to stay in physical RAM.

When It’s Actually Useful

The feature shines on phones with 4GB or 6GB of RAM. It blocks background apps from closing and improves multitasking performance. It’s especially useful for low-end phones like the Redmi Note and POCO mid-range series that still employ modest memory configurations.

However, for 8GB or 12GB RAM phones, its benefit is very restricted. Such devices never use their full physical RAM, and therefore the extra virtual space provides little or no improvement in regular usage.

What It Doesn’t Do

• Does not improve gaming performance: Games always employ the fast, physical RAM and GPU computation.
• Does not increase FPS: It does not affect frame rates.
• Wears out storage life slightly: It keeps reading and writing to storage, which in theory affects it ever so slightly over extended use.

Summary Table

Situation	Effective	Explanation
4–6 GB RAM phones	Very useful	Keeps more apps open and multitasking better
8 GB+ RAM phones	Minimal benefit	You likely won’t even notice a difference
Gaming performance	No effect	Control of game speed by type of RAM and GPU

Final Thoughts

In summary, Xiaomi’s Extra RAM feature is a smart optimization that helps lower and mid-range devices handle multitasking more efficiently. But on high-end models like the Xiaomi 17 or POCO F8 Pro, it’s largely redundant — more of a convenience feature than a true performance booster.

Xiaomi is still the king of gaming smartphones in 2025 with its extensive lineup of high-performance but affordable phones. If you are a person who appreciates the POCO F series for its flagship level of performance, the Xiaomi T series for balance performance, or the Redmi Note Pro+ for a budget phone experience, Xiaomi has something in store for every gamer to cater to their requirements. Each series offers a specific blend of speed, efficiency, and cooling technology specifically designed for gaming.

POCO F Series – The game-changing champion

The POCO F series remains among the most gaming-friendly phone lines for enthusiasts. Powered by premium chips like the Snapdragon 8 Elite, great cooling mechanisms, and high refresh rate AMOLED displays, POCO F phones deliver buttery-smooth gaming even on the graphically heaviest of games. With large batteries and fast charging support, they are ideal for marathon gaming sessions without overheating or performance throttling.

Xiaomi T series

The Xiaomi T series (also called the Redmi K Ultra series in China) is another excellent choice for gamers seeking near-flagship performance for mid-range costs. Such phones tend to have high-performance processors, better vapor chamber cooling, and 120Hz displays. The Xiaomi T series offers top-notch performance together with sleek design, thus suitable for gaming as well as everyday usage.

Redmi Note Pro+ series – The budget gamer’s choice

For people seeking great gaming performance at affordable prices, the Redmi Note Pro+ is an excellent choice. It may not compete with mainline chips but delivers optimized mid-grade processors, optimized GPU performance, and smooth 120Hz panels—all for a superior balance of price vs. gaming quality.

POCO X Series – Balanced and affordable

The POCO X series bridges the gap between budget and flagship performance. It is targeted towards casual gamers who want decent gaming performance with not a compromise on battery life or camera capability. They often inherit software optimizations from higher-end POCO F models to deliver consistent frame rates in mainstream mobile games.

Last words

Whether you are a high-end competitive gamer or just a casual player, Xiaomi’s diverse series from the POCO F, POCO X, Redmi Note Pro+, and Xiaomi T series offers capable devices in every price tier. Their match of strong hardware, efficient cooling, and MIUI/HyperOS optimizations puts Xiaomi among the very best brands for mobile gaming in 2025.

Xiaomi has now pushed a new update to its HyperOS 3 Launcher, version labeled RELEASE-6.01.02.1725-11042024, built on November 4, 2025. The update is primarily made up of performance optimizations and bug fixes for an enhanced user experience on supported Xiaomi, Redmi, and POCO devices running HyperOS 2.2 or above.

What’s new in the HyperOS 3 Launcher

The latest Launcher update focuses on optimizing system performance and improving UI responsiveness. While no major visual changes are introduced, this build enhances animation fluidity and app loading speed, which aligns with Xiaomi’s continuous effort to refine HyperOS 3 ahead of its full rollout.

This release, reportedly stable on HyperOS 2.2, patches several bugs from user reports on earlier builds. It also optimizes memory management to reduce launcher crashes on heavy multitasking sessions. Users on earlier HyperOS versions should verify compatibility before updating.

How to update your HyperOS Launcher

The update is not available via the System Updater, so it has to be manually installed by users. The Xiaomi users can simply download it from HyperOSUpdates.com or via the MemeOS Enhancer application. Not only does the MemeOS Enhancer application provide access to the latest Xiaomi system components, but also allows users to unlock hidden HyperOS features, update the launcher, and control other system settings directly from the screen.

Final thoughts

With this latest HyperOS 3 Launcher release, Xiaomi continues to refine the user interface experience, preparing for the upcoming global rollout of HyperOS 3. The stability improvements and subtle performance enhancements show Xiaomi’s dedication to ensuring fluidity and consistency across all its devices.

Xiaomi’s latest HyperOS 3 is built to deliver a smoother, more connected experience across devices — from smartphones to smart homes. While the stable rollout will initially target newer flagships, many older Xiaomi, Redmi, and POCO devices are still powerful enough to run ported versions of HyperOS 3 without performance issues. If volunteer developers bring the ROM to these models, users can enjoy nearly the same performance and fluidity as on official versions.

Here’s the list of Xiaomi devices that can run the ported HyperOS 3 ROM fully stable and responsive:

• Xiaomi Mi 10 series
• Xiaomi Mi 11 series
• Xiaomi 12 Lite
• Xiaomi 11T series
• Xiaomi MIX 4
• Redmi Note 12 series
• Redmi Note 13 4G
• Redmi K50 series
• Redmi K40 series
• POCO F3 series
• POCO F4 series
• POCO X4 series

Why These Devices Can Handle HyperOS 3

All of the mentioned phones are equipped with high-end Snapdragon or Dimensity processors, latest storage technologies, and GPU architectures that can adequately deliver HyperOS 3’s enhanced animations, AI-driven optimization, and HyperConnect ecosystem support. Most of these phones are based on Snapdragon 870, Snapdragon 888, or Dimensity 8100 chips, yielding adequate headroom for smooth system ports.

The performance is also dependent on ROM optimization quality. With one of the most active developer communities in the world in Xiaomi, it is likely that HyperOS 3 ports for these devices will offer reliable daily performance and full functionality.

How to Get the HyperOS 3 Port ROM

Intersted users can visit community ports on trusted Xiaomi development Telegram channels or another Telegram channels. If developers who port HyperOS 3 reach us on Telegram, we can publish it for users to be informed.

Some Xiaomi low-cost phones such as Redmi 15, Redmi 14C, and Redmi 13X still make use of the traditional Android-way control panel instead of the modern iOS-inspired Control Center on premium phones with HyperOS. The limitation here is primarily due to hardware and performance aspects, which hamper seamless rendering of advanced animations and transitions.

Despite this, Xiaomi users do not have to forgo the new design and features. With the help of third-party customization software like Control Center 18, it can be configured to resemble the new Control Center look on most Redmi and POCO phones.

Why Some Xiaomi Devices Don’t Have the New Control Center

Xiaomi’s updated Control Center—introduced alongside HyperOS 1.0—brings a clean layout, smoother animations, and adaptive brightness controls similar to iOS 18. However, not every device meets the required performance standards. Entry-level models with limited GPU and memory capacity may experience lag or frame drops when running the new UI, which is why Xiaomi restricts the feature to mid-range and flagship smartphones.

However, Xiaomi’s software platform is still flexible. Although your phone doesn’t natively support the latest control center, you can nonetheless enhance the visual experience with third-party solutions like Control Center 18, basically cloning the appearance and functionality of the HyperOS Control Center.

Get the New Control Center with Control Center 18

If your Redmi or Xiaomi phone does not have the new Control Center directly installed on it, you can easily replicate it with Control Center 18. This is a nearly exact layout with fluid animations, toggleable toggles, and swift access to your most frequently used settings.

Or, you can find additional Xiaomi tweaking software at HyperOSUpdates.com or get MemeOS Enhancer from the Play Store to enable system elements that are invisible to everyone else, manually upgrade Xiaomi apps, and benefit from unique HyperOS features.

Warranty protection is important to enable free and safe repair services for factory-related faults in your Xiaomi devices. Xiaomi offers a warranty period—typically two years—for smartphones, tablets, and smart home appliances. During the warranty period, official Xiaomi service centers repair qualifying faults free of charge, with quality and secure work. Repairing your device at unauthorized or out-of-warranty shops, however, is risky and can irretrievably lose your warranty rights.

Things You Should Avoid to Stay Under Warranty

Being under warranty is a case of precaution and vigilance. Below are eight very important actions that will automatically void your Xiaomi warranty, regardless of where you are or what device model you use.

1. Avoid Submerging Your Device in Water

Unless your Xiaomi or Redmi device carries an IP68 water-resistant certification, you should stay away from liquids. Devices that are not waterproof-rated can suffer permanent internal damage when they come into contact with water, leading to an instant loss of warranty coverage.

2. Never Use Non-Genuine or Unapproved Adapters

Unauthorized charging adapter usage is also one of the most frequent reasons for warranty cancellation. Each Xiaomi model runs on a certain voltage and charging system. The battery or internal components can be affected by incompatible charging output from adapters. Always employ original Xiaomi adapters or those specified in your device model.

3. Never Root or Unlock the Bootloader

Rooting your phone or Bootloader unlocking could be tempting for personalization, but completely negates your warranty. Xiaomi regards such modifications as unauthorized interference with the operating system, even if you reflash the original software later. Once Bootloader is unlocked, the warranty is lost forever.

4. Do Not Install Custom ROMs

Flashing custom ROMs can improve performance or look, but Xiaomi officially discourages this. Devices flashed with non-official ROMs are not eligible for warranty service. Even if you reflash HyperOS later on, service centers can identify the modification and refuse repairs.

5. Avoid Physical Damage

Any form of self-damage, such as drops, cracks, or impacts, is a user responsibility. While Xiaomi phones are built with durable materials, physical damage repairs are chargeable, and warranty does not apply. Protective cases and screen guards maintain your warranty validity.

6. Avoid Hardware or Software Alterations

Changing your device physically (such as replacing parts or altering components) or performing unauthorized software modifications (such as overclocking) will invalidate the warranty. Xiaomi only repairs devices that are in their original factory state.

7. Know That Normal Wear And Tear Is Not Covered

Devices can naturally experience wear and tear over time. Color fading, battery degeneration, or scratches are normal usage effects and are not warrantable. Cleaning and maintenance of your device on a regular basis extend the life of your device and prevent unnecessary service fees.

8. Damage Caused by Natural Disasters Is Not Covered

Unfortunately, damage from natural disasters—such as floods, earthquakes, or fire—is not assured. Such accidents are considered under the category of acts of nature and are not within the control of the manufacturer.

Final Thoughts

With these eight simple but essential tips, you can keep your Xiaomi device under warranty and get any manufacturing flaws corrected efficiently without charge. Xiaomi encourages customers to utilize official service centers and accessories alone for secure and long-term usage.

Most HyperOS gamers are dependent on Game Turbo, but hardly know its most potent feature — background app optimization — lies disabled by default. This feature has the potential to boost your gaming performance and interruptions by a great margin but lies in the depths of the settings. If you experience periodic loss of frames or irritating notification interrupts while gaming, it may be because your most important option lies disabled.

To enable it, simply open Game Turbo Settings > Performance > Memory Exceptions. From here, choose the applications that you want Game Turbo to forcibly end whenever you enter a game. This prevents unnecessary background applications from using memory or CPU cycles so your phone powers its gaming performance.

Why This Environment Is Important for Users

By allowing memory optimization, Game Turbo optimizes the system’s resources by releasing the RAM and keeping the frames stable in the course of playing. No interruptions by messaging or social app notifications will occur mid-match and thereby result in a smoother gaming experience.

This feature is particularly useful for Xiaomi, Redmi, and POCO smartphones that are running Snapdragon or Dimensity processors. Those playing Frequently playing gophers like Genshin Impact or PUBG Mobile will see distinct improvements in response and heat regulation when this feature is turned on.
