HyperOS 3 is rumored to be under active development for Xiaomi 14 Ultra smartphones. Test servers have now marked the update as ready for release, indicating that it has reached the final stage, according to recent reports.

The upgrade has already begun to arrive on Chinese Xiaomi 14 Ultra devices, and sources say the worldwide version is also ready for release. This Android 16-based upgrade is scheduled to begin spreading out before November ends.

On internal servers, Xiaomitime found HyperOS 3 marked as distribution-ready. The worldwide build has the version OS3.0.3.0.WNAMIXM, tied to the Xiaomi 14 Ultra’s codename “Aurora,” with the status expressly described as “ready for stable rollout.” For comparison, the upcoming global build uses OS3.0.3.0.WNAMIXM, while the Chinese version debuted with OS3.0.4.0.WNACNXM.
