Good news for Xiaomi 14 Ultra users: the long-awaited HyperOS 3 update (based on Android 16) is finally set to land on global units this month. After weeks of silence, the global build has reportedly been signed off and is ready to ship.
Tipster Erencan Yılmaz says the stable global ROM — OS3.0.1.0.WNAMIXM — has passed its final checks. The “MIXM” code confirms this one is strictly for the international model, and for once, the global variant won’t be waiting behind China’s rollout.
According to the leak, Xiaomi plans to start pushing the update towards the end of November. Mi Pilot users should get access a few days earlier, with a wider OTA following shortly after. China units should receive their own build any time now, but the gap between regions is expected to be small — a rare win for global Xiaomi owners.
HyperOS 3 isn’t just a visual tweak. Early testers in China say it brings smoother animations, a refreshed control center, better memory handling, and big improvements to battery life — especially when using the camera or running the phone at 120 Hz. Some users report gaining two extra hours of screen-on time. The random stutters that occasionally show up in heavy apps also seem to be gone.
You’re also getting the full set of Android 16 privacy and security features, which should help the 14 Ultra feel a lot more up to date heading into 2026.
HyperOS 3 looks like the most polished software package the 14 Ultra has had since launch — and it’s arriving just in time for the holiday season.
