Xiaomi is ready with HyperOS 2 and it's shifting its focus on HyperOS 3, ends support for 9 phones
It looks like Xiaomi is done with HyperOS 2 as all phones entitled to the OS update received it, so it's time to focus solely on bringing HyperOS 3, based on Android 16, on time. Additionally, a member from the developer team clarified that users should not expect any more HyperOS 2 improvement updates.
Instead, the company will focus on addressing all known issues with HyperOS 3. Key improvements include enhanced animation smoothness and visual effects, improved system responsiveness, a refined UI, and an optimized user experience. To be fair, some of those sound vague.
Notably, Xiaomi may name its upcoming OS HyperOS 26, in line with the release year.
Unfortunately, Xiaomi hasn't announced a release timeline, so we don't know which phones will get the update first.
On a semi-related note, nine Xiaomi devices are receiving their last updates this year. It's the end of the road for the Redmi A1, A1+, Poco C50, Xiaomi 11T and 11T Pro, Mi 11 Lite 5G NE, Mi 11 LE, Poco M5, and Redmi 11 Prime 4G. All these devices will get their last security patch this September.

Google Pixel 10 lineup shown in multiple leaks, Week 30 in review
Welcome to your weekly news recap. Google's Pixel 10 series dominated your attention with a total of four top stories. They showed all four upcoming Pixel 10 devices in all of their colors. Google even jumped in on the action and teased the Pixel 10 Pro design officially, and showed the entire four-phone series in the Play Store. The Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, 10 Pro XL, and 10 Pro Fold are all coming alongside the Pixel Watch 4 on August 20. The Pixel 10 series will be unveiled on August 20. The lineup reportedly includes four smartphones - Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and Pixel 10 Pro Fold. They aren't the dullest, but also not the most exciting ever. The first details about the Redmi Note 15 Pro+ surfaced this week. The phone is said to sport a screen with "1.5K" resolution and thin symmetrical bezels on all sides, a 50 MP main camera, a 50 MP telephoto camera, and a battery capacity between 7,000 mAh and 7,999 mAh. The Redmi Note 15 Pro+ will allegedly be powered by the yet-unannounced Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chipset. The CMF Watch 3 Pro is official with a larger 1.43-inch display, a precision-milled metal frame, and a soft-touch silicone strap. It's on sale in several countries for $99/£99/€99. A new vivo or iQOO phone is in the works, as evidenced by a Geekbench run. It packs a Dimensity 9400+ and an 8,000mAh battery! It doesn't have many improvements compared to its predecessor, but one of them is pretty significant. The watch gains dual-band GPS, ChatGPT support and new sports modes. It's available starting today in three color options. It might be the iQOO Z10 Turbo Pro+. Nokia has been parting ways with HMD in the past year, and it looks like it's looking to license its brand name to a new "large scale mobile manufacturer". Nokia had licensed its brand in several different segments – Streamview made TVs, RichGo made headphones (and other smartphone accessories), and OFF Global made laptops. As you can probably tell from the use of the past tense, those branding deals have also come to an end. Which company would you like to see pick up the Nokia brand for phones – one of the established players or another startup like HMD? According to a new rumor from China, the OnePlus 15 will launch in the country in October, but not alone. It will allegedly be unveiled alongside the Ace 6 (and possibly the Ace 6 Pro as well), which is an interesting change in strategy for the brand, which last year unveiled the OnePlus 13 in October and the Ace 5 in December. HMD stopped using the Nokia brand and has been releasing phones under its own brand. Now the Finns may be looking for another company to take up the mantle. The chipset choices are interesting too. It's not something it's done before.

Samsung is reportedly shifting its One UI update strategy, to give priority to the foldables
After Samsung didn't handle the One UI 7 update very well, everyone thought the surprising One UI 8 release, based on the still-unreleased Android 16 with the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7, was just some sort of redemption. However, it seems that it's actually the start of a new update strategy. According to the renowned tipster Ice Universe, Samsung will continue prioritizing its Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip phones when it comes to software updates. So from now on, the Galaxy foldables will launch with the latest Android version out of the box, while the Galaxy S series will receive an incremental One UI update. On the other hand, Samsung may be prioritizing its flagship Galaxy S lineup in a way by polishing the user experience with each new software version before installing it on its S series. Although the foldables will be the first to receive the new UI designs, AI features, and software enhancements, the Galaxy S family will get a more stable and refined version of the software.
