After weeks of leaks and a flood of anticipation, Xiaomi is finally flipping the switch on HyperOS 3. The first global beta builds are ready — and they’re already rolling out to a small set of flagship devices.
Unlike the incremental updates we’ve seen in the past, this one feels bigger. More personal. More alive. Xiaomi’s putting heavy emphasis on AI, smoother visuals, and a system that learns how you use it rather than just reacting.

After weeks of leaks and a flood of anticipation, Xiaomi is finally flipping the switch on HyperOS 3. The first global beta builds are ready — and they’re already rolling out to a small set of flagship devices.
Unlike the incremental updates we’ve seen in the past, this one feels bigger. More personal. More alive. Xiaomi’s putting heavy emphasis on AI, smoother visuals, and a system that learns how you use it rather than just reacting.
The First Devices to Join the Party
Three devices are in the front row:
- Xiaomi 15 Ultra – OS3.0.1.0.WOAEUXM
- Xiaomi 15 – OS3.0.2.0.WOCEUXM
- Xiaomi Pad 7 Pro – OS3.0.1.0.WOYMIXM / OS3.0.1.0.WOYEUXM
If you own one of these, you might want to start checking your updater. The rollout seems to be staged region by region — the kind of slow push Xiaomi usually does before a stable release. Which, judging by timing, can’t be too far off.
More Devices Are on Deck
Of course, this is just the start. Xiaomi’s roadmap for October and November looks packed. The next wave should bring HyperOS 3 to:
- Xiaomi 15T / 15T Pro
- Xiaomi MIX Flip
- Redmi Note 14 Series (yes, the full set — Pro, Pro+, and 5G models)
- POCO F7 Series
- POCO X7 / X7 Pro
- Xiaomi Pad 7 and Pad Mini
That’s a pretty wide spread — not just flagships, but mid-range and even a few tablets. It’s clear Xiaomi wants this update in as many hands as possible before the end of the year.
What’s Actually New?
HyperOS 3 is less about surface polish and more about intelligence. The interface, sure, looks neater — with smoother corners, lighter animations, and a touch of what Xiaomi calls “Hyper Island.” It’s subtle, but it’s there.
What stands out, though, is how much AI is woven into daily use.
- AI Notes tidy up your writing and summarize text.
- AI Describe writes captions for images and even on-screen content.
- AI Voice Translation can handle live calls between languages.
- AI Noise Reduction scrubs background chaos from recordings.
- AI Search and AI Gallery Search feel smarter — you can type “the picture of me with the dog,” and it actually finds it.
- And then there’s AI Dynamic Wallpapers — basically your photos, animated softly, like living lock screens.
It’s a long list, but it fits together well. Xiaomi seems to be using AI as glue, not gimmick.
A Shift in How HyperOS Feels
For years, Xiaomi’s software felt a little busy — powerful but dense. HyperOS 3 is different. Lighter, quicker, less “MIUI.”
In testing circles, users say apps open faster, multitasking feels snappier, and animations finally behave like they belong on flagship hardware. Even simple things — scrolling or unlocking — feel tuned.
It’s fair to say this update isn’t just about features. It’s about tone. The system finally feels confident.
The Bigger Play
Rolling out global betas this early signals something else: Xiaomi’s growing confidence in its ecosystem. HyperOS 1 was a statement. HyperOS 2 found its balance. Now, version 3 feels ready to stand beside iOS and One UI, not behind them.
If the beta experience holds up, the final build could be the smoothest Xiaomi software we’ve seen — a point where hardware and software finally meet in the middle.
