POCO has officially started rolling out the first stable version of HyperOS 3, based on Android 16, for the POCO F7 Ultra. The update began rolling out on October 31, 2025, and marks the first public release of HyperOS 3 for a POCO smartphone.
The rollout is being conducted in phases across regions, so availability may vary depending on your country. The update package is around 7GB in size (build number OS3.0.3.0.WOMEUXM for the EEA version).
Before downloading, POCO recommends charging your phone above 50%, connecting to a stable Wi-Fi network, and backing up important data.
What’s New in HyperOS 3 (Android 16)
The HyperOS 3 update brings a major revamp to the POCO F7 Ultra, focusing on fluidity, personalization, privacy, and AI-driven productivity.
Key highlights include:

- Dynamic wallpapers and interactive widgets with real-time data
- A redesigned icon pack and lock screen layout
- A new Hyper Island “pill” center, offering quick access to live activities and key tools
- Enhanced multitasking and better background app management
Users will also notice reduced power consumption, faster app opening times, and improved frame stability during gaming sessions, with fewer thermal peaks.
AI-Powered Features
HyperOS 3 introduces several AI tools designed to enhance daily productivity:

- Voice transcription and translation
- Smart summaries for quick note or message review
These additions build on Xiaomi’s recent AI ecosystem upgrades and are now available for POCO devices for the first time.
Enhanced Privacy and Security
Built on Android 16, HyperOS 3 improves privacy controls with a revamped Privacy Center, granular app permissions, and enhanced process isolation.
In addition, POCO has optimized cross-device connectivity, making it easier to share content and continue tasks seamlessly between smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, and TVs within the Xiaomi ecosystem.
Performance and Optimization
The update improves system resource management, reducing background power drain when idle. During gaming, the system intelligently maintains consistent frame rates while minimizing overheating.
Users have reported a noticeable boost in fluidity and responsiveness right after updating — particularly in multitasking and UI transitions.
How to Update to HyperOS 3
If you own a POCO F7 Ultra, follow these steps to check for the update:
- Go to Settings > About phone > HyperOS version
- Tap on Check for updates
- If available, download and install the OS3.0.3.0.WOMEUXM build
Note: The rollout is staged, so it might take a few days before the update appears on all devices. Ensure you have enough free storage and avoid interrupting the installation once it begins.
Should You Update Now?
Yes — the HyperOS 3 update is stable and brings significant improvements to performance, battery life, and usability.
If you use your POCO F7 Ultra as your primary phone, you can safely update after creating a backup. However, if you rely on certain work-critical apps, it’s best to wait 24–48 hours to ensure no regional bug reports emerge.
