The long wait is almost over for users of Xiaomi’s mobile photography powerhouse, the Xiaomi 14 Ultra, as the long-awaited major software update for the device, HyperOS 3 Global (MI) version, is now ready. Recent reports from the company’s own test servers indicate that the update is soon to be released.

Xiaomi 14 Ultra HyperOS 3 Update

The HyperOS 3 update, which provides the latest features, including necessary optimizations, is ready for the stable rollout process for Xiaomi 14 Ultra users in the Global market. The specified software version number of the device in the Global market is as follows:

• Model: Xiaomi 14 Ultra
• Codename: Aurora
• Region: Global
• Version: OS3.0.4.0.WNAMIXM

The ‘MIXM’ suffix in the build number confirms that the software is the official, final, and authorized distribution of the product in the Global market, starting with Mi Pilot users. The readiness of the Global version, just like the previous versions in the Chinese markets (OS3.0.4.0.WNACNXM), confirms the focus of Xiaomi on its flagship products.

What does the HyperOS 3 update bring?

This highly anticipated update, completely developed on the foundations of the Android 16 platform, promises to bring about many upgrades:

• Design & User Experience: The HyperOS 3 will have an upgraded design interface, with some design modifications, but also some fresh animations.
• Optimization: Extensive optimisations are also required, trying to fix the slight stutters and battery-drain issues, even on the flagships.
• Features of Android 16: The update will also bring all the new security patches, as well as the newest privacy-focused features of Android 16, to the Xiaomi 14 Ultra.

Release Timeline [Updated: 2 December 2025]

Global users are eagerly awaiting this update. The Chinese version of HyperOS 3 has been officially released with build number OS3.0.4.0.WNACNXM. Since the HyperOS 3 Global ROM is ready with the OS3.0.4.0.WNAMIXM version, Xiaomi is technically ready to release the update for the Global version shortly after the update is released in the Chinese markets, and the HyperOS 3 update is expected to be released by mid-December at the latest. OS3.0.3.0.WNAMIXM version has been suspended. The update was expected to be released by the end of November, but after numerous bugs emerged in the OS3.0.2.0.WNCMIXM update released for the Xiaomi 14, this also affected other models like the Xiaomi 14 Ultra.

The Xiaomi 14 Ultra maintains its leading position in the mobile photography field, and the “HyperOS 3” software update will make your device more fluid and take its performance to the next level. To the global community’s question, “When will we get the update?”, it can be answered with the hope that Xiaomi will satisfy them with an extremely fast global update.
