December Security Patch Hits POCO F6 in India, HyperOS 3 Update Coming Next

POCO F6 users in India have started receiving a new software update that brings the December 2025 security patch, while Xiaomi continues preparing the much-awaited HyperOS 3 upgrade. This latest update is a small but important one, focusing mainly on security and system stability.

POCO F6 December Update Details (India)

Xiaomi has rolled out another HyperOS 2.2 update for the POCO F6 with the following details:

• Version: 2.0.207.0.VNPINXM
• Update Size: 91MB
• Release Type: Public Release
• Security Patch Level: December 2025

Since this is a partial rollout, the update may not appear immediately for all users. Xiaomi typically releases such updates in batches to monitor stability before wider availability.

What This Update Brings

This update does not introduce new features but focuses on security improvements and minor system optimizations. The December 2025 security patch fixes recently discovered vulnerabilities and helps keep the device protected against potential threats.

For users who are already on HyperOS 2.2, this update ensures the POCO F6 remains secure and stable while Xiaomi finalizes its next major software upgrade.

HyperOS 3 Update Is on the Way

The bigger news for POCO F6 users is what comes next. According to Xiaomitime, Xiaomi is actively working on the Xiaomi HyperOS 3 update for the POCO F6, which will be based on Android 16.

The HyperOS 3 build for the POCO F6 has already been spotted on Xiaomi’s servers with the version number:

• OS3.0.2.0.WNPMIXM

This build is currently in internal beta testing, which means Xiaomi engineers are testing stability, performance, and compatibility before releasing it to users.

Expected Rollout Timeline

If internal testing goes smoothly, Xiaomi is expected to begin rolling out the HyperOS 3 update for POCO F6 around January 2026. As usual, the update will likely be released in phases, starting with Mi Pilot or limited users before a full public rollout.

HyperOS 3 is expected to bring new system features, refined animations, better performance, improved battery optimization, and deeper Android 16 integration, making it one of the biggest upgrades for the POCO F6.

The December 2025 security patch update confirms that Xiaomi is still actively maintaining the POCO F6 while preparing for a major software leap. Although this HyperOS 2.2 update is small, it plays an important role in keeping the device secure.

With HyperOS 3 already spotted in internal testing, POCO F6 users won’t have to wait much longer. Keep an eye on system updates, as January 2026 could finally bring HyperOS 3 to the POCO F6 in India.
