Xiaomi has since begun rolling out the stable HyperOS 3 update. The rollout began in China and has since been made available to select users globally. We expect the company to expand the release to more units, including the Xiaomi 12, in the coming days. And while testing has started for the flagship phone, there is something you need to know.

Xiaomi 12 HyperOS 3 is likely the last major upgrade to be released for units that arrived in 2021 with Android 12. The device is currently running Android 15 on top of HyperOS 2, and while HyperOS 3 is under beta testing for the unit, it will arrive without a new Android OS. Nevertheless, HyperOS 3 packs many fascinating features, and Android 16 ones tagged along.
Details of Xiaomi 12 HyperOS 3 update
Xiaomi has started internal testing for the HyperOS 3 upgrade. Currently, only developers have access to the beta build. According to XiaomiTime, available builds are OS3.0.0.1.VLBCNXM (Xiaomi 12 Pro), OS3.0.0.1.VLCCNXM (Xiaomi 12), and OS3.0.0.1.VLACNXM (Xiaomi 12 Ultra). We understand the testing is still in the first stage, but things can move quickly.
Xiaomi plans to release the update to the public once it reaches a stable stage. Therefore, the rollout is expected to begin when the build advances to version OS3.0.1.0. Since it’s still in the early phase, it may take a few weeks before the rollout officially begins.
Nevertheless, you should be optimistic about the Xiaomi 12 HyperOS 3 update. There are many fascinating features, bug fixes, system improvements, and security enhancements. Follow our Telegram channel for when the rollout will commence.
