Xiaomi users have been talking about ads in their phones for years—and not in a good way. With HyperOS 3 on the
horizon, many are asking: “Could this be the update that finally tames system ads?”
The last
HyperOS update already gave users more control. You could turn off most system ads, which felt like a small victory after years of complaints about
MIUI’s aggressive ad placements. The community welcomed it—but let’s be honest, ads are still everywhere: pre-installed apps, some system menus, even notifications sometimes.
Where Xiaomi Stands Now
HyperOS introduced a few notable improvements:
- Finer control over ad settings – users can tweak what shows up more specifically.
- Fewer ads in system apps – a modest but noticeable reduction.
- Opt-out options during installation – easier than before to skip some ad exposure.
Still, it’s not perfect. Ads remain part of the system experience, and many users are hoping HyperOS 3 takes things further.
What HyperOS 3 Could Bring
Industry insiders and
Xiaomi watchers have been speculating:
- Full opt-out during initial setup – skip ads right from day one.
- Ad-free premium plan – for users willing to pay a little extra.
- Regional differences – some countries may see fewer ads than others.
- Further reduction within system apps – cleaner, less intrusive interface.
A full ad removal would mark a serious shift in
Xiaomi’s business model. System ads have long been a key revenue source that helps keep Xiaomi devices affordable.
The Business Angle
If
Xiaomi goes ad-free, they’d likely need new ways to make money:
- Premium subscriptions for certain services
- Deeper integration across Xiaomi’s ecosystem
- Optional cloud storage or extended features on a subscription plan
This wouldn’t just be a win for users—it’s a strategic move to balance revenue and experience.
Why Users Would Benefit
For phone owners, reducing ads—or removing them entirely—has several tangible benefits:
- Cleaner interface – no more intrusive pop-ups or banners
- Lower data and battery usage – fewer ads to load
- Smoother performance – less clutter for the system to process
- Higher satisfaction – happier users, better reviews
In short, HyperOS 3 has the potential to make
Xiaomi phones feel much more polished. Whether the company goes all-in or just tweaks the existing system, one thing is clear: users are watching closely, and a cleaner, ad-light experience could make a huge difference.
