Xiaomi has finally begun distributing the initial HyperOS 3-based Android 16 firmware for the POCO X6 Pro, bringing relief to consumers who have been waiting for the major system upgrade for a long time. Amid HyperOS 3’s slow and selective rollout strategy globally, this move signals that POCO’s mid-range performance series is now entering Xiaomi’s next-gen software experience.
European variant receives first test build
The company has released this update first for the European (EU) model of the POCO X6 Pro. This release is currently available only to a limited number of testers under the Mi Pilot program. The initial build’s version number is:
OS3.0.2.0.WNLEUXM
Status: Mi Pilot Release
This phased rollout is part of Xiaomi’s testing policy, whereby it first tests major updates for stability and regional compatibility among select users. Therefore, general users won’t see this firmware in system updates yet. The company plans to release it more broadly in the coming days or weeks if no serious errors are found.
What changes does HyperOS 3 bring to Users?
HyperOS 3 is one of Xiaomi’s biggest system improvements in recent years. The key changes included in this update are:

- A new and modern visual interface
- Improved animations and smoother transitions
- Advanced performance scheduling
- Improved battery usage
- More flexible lock screen customisation
- Improved multitasking capabilities
- Tighter security and privacy management
- Updated system apps and a more responsive UI
The POCO X6 Pro’s flagship-level chipset will clearly leverage HyperOS 3’s rendering engine and animation improvements, which are expected to make the interface feel smoother and more refined.
This build is currently in testing, so some bugs may still be present. This is why Xiaomi first prepares a stable public release based on feedback from Mi Pilot users.
Rollout to other regions is likely to begin soon
Following the release of the EU build, Xiaomi is preparing updates for other regional variants—such as MI (Global Variant), RU (Russia Variant), and models in Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America.
Based on past patterns, the MI and RU variants are released soon after the EU Pilot build reaches stable performance.
This means that POCO X6 Pro users in India, Indonesia, Europe, Russia, and other markets could receive HyperOS 3 in the coming weeks.
Why this update is important
The POCO X6 Pro has long been considered one of the most balanced performance phones in its price segment. With the arrival of HyperOS 3, its users will benefit not only from UI changes but also from:
- Long-term software support
- Continuous performance improvements
- System stability and reliability
- New features from the HyperOS ecosystem.
With Xiaomi now integrating its entire ecosystem into HyperOS, being on the latest OS has become even more important for device connectivity, security updates, and feature compatibility.
What to expect next
HyperOS 3 is now officially available for the POCO X6 Pro. The OS3.0.2.0.WNLEUXM build is currently in the Mi Pilot stage, but this is a clear indication that the device is moving towards a stable public update soon.
Users are advised to keep an eye on the System Update app in the coming days, as a wider rollout could begin very soon if there are no major issues with the firmware.
