HyperOS 3 Updates Are Ready for Xiaomi 13 Series: Stable Builds Spotted, Rollout Timeline Revealed

Good news for Xiaomi fans—HyperOS 3 updates for the Xiaomi 13 Series are now officially in preparation, and the latest stable Android 16-based builds have already been spotted on Xiaomi servers. This confirms that Xiaomi has entered the final testing phase for the entire lineup.

As per Xiaomi’s official rollout schedule, the Xiaomi 13 Series will receive the HyperOS 3 update between December 2025 and March 2026. This places the series in the second/third wave of major upgrades, as newer flagships are being prioritized first by Xiaomi.

HyperOS 3 Stable Builds Spotted for Xiaomi 13 Series

All three models in the lineup now have new HyperOS 3 stable builds listed on Xiaomi’s internal servers, which is a strong indicator that public rollout is not too far away.

Here are the newly spotted builds:

• Xiaomi 13 — OS3.0.1.0.WMCCNXM
• Xiaomi 13 Pro — OS3.0.1.0.WMBCNXM
• Xiaomi 13 Ultra — OS3.0.1.0.WMACNXM

These builds are based on Android 16, confirming that the Xiaomi 13 series will receive a full next-generation software upgrade with HyperOS 3.

At the moment, these builds are visible for the China region, and as per Xiaomi’s usual rollout pattern, Global and India versions will follow after China testing is completed.

When Will Xiaomi 13 Series Get HyperOS 3 Globally?

According to the official rollout roadmap:

• China rollout: Internal testing already confirmed
• Global rollout: Expected between December 2025 and early 2026
• India & other regions: Expected shortly after the Global rollout

Xiaomi typically upgrades its newer flagships first, which explains why the Xiaomi 13 lineup is scheduled slightly later than the Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 15 series. However, since stable builds are already ready, the wait should not be very long now.
