POCO has finally taken the wraps off the highly awaited POCO F8 Pro and POCO F8 Ultra on the global stage, introducing massive upgrades in design, performance, camera quality, and overall user experience. Both smartphones ship with HyperOS 3 based on Android 16 out of the box, confirming POCO’s commitment to pushing its software transition forward at full speed.
Alongside the F8 Series launch, POCO has officially released the HyperOS 3 rollout roadmap for its existing devices. This now gives users a clear idea of when their POCO smartphone or tablet will receive the major HyperOS 3 upgrade.
Below is the complete official rollout schedule.
First Wave – October & November 2025
These devices are the first to receive the HyperOS 3 (Android 16) update. Many units from this list have already started getting OTA updates across India, Europe, Indonesia, and other global regions.
Eligible Models:
- POCO F7 Ultra
- POCO F7 Pro
- POCO F7
- POCO X7 Pro
- POCO X7
The POCO F7 Series has already begun receiving stable HyperOS 3 builds in multiple regions, which we covered on the website earlier.

- POCO F6 Pro
- POCO F6

Third Wave – December 2025 to March 2026
This batch includes older devices, budget models, and POCO tablets. They will get HyperOS 3 a little later due to extended testing and optimization requirements.

With the official rollout roadmap now public, POCO users finally have clarity regarding HyperOS 3 update timelines. The company has already begun delivering stable updates to several models, especially the POCO F7 Series, and more devices will steadily join the list over the coming months.
HyperOS 3 marks a major shift for POCO—bringing Android 16, smoother animations, redesigned UI elements, upgraded system stability, and enhanced privacy features.
