Xiaomi (小米) says MIUI handover to Pēngpài OS (澎湃 OS) is complete; maintenance will wind down but security patches remain

Handover confirmed

Xiaomi (小米) has formally ceased updates to its long-running MIUI skin as it completes a platform handover to Pēngpài OS (澎湃 OS), the company’s unified HyperOS for phones, cars and home devices. It has been reported that Xiaomi upgraded millions of devices to the new system while placing many older models on an end-of-support list. The company says the handover is finished and that MIUI will gradually withdraw from active maintenance.

What users should expect

Xiaomi has stated it will still provide necessary security patch upgrades even as routine feature and system maintenance for MIUI tapers off. It has been reported that the final two MIUI-supported devices have now reached the end of their update cycles, and the news briefly trended on Chinese social platforms as longtime users reacted with nostalgia and concern. Will loyal MIUI users accept the change to Pēngpài OS? That remains the immediate question for the installed base.

Bigger picture

For Western readers: MIUI was Xiaomi’s Android skin across roughly 12 years and 14 major iterations, a pillar of the company’s smartphone identity. The move to consolidate under Pēngpài OS reflects a broader Chinese industry trend toward integrated, domestically developed ecosystems — an emphasis that has grown amid global tech tensions, export controls and calls for supply-chain resilience. For now, Xiaomi’s message is straightforward: the interface era for MIUI is ending, but security and basic support will not be abandoned overnight.
