POCO recently launched the POCO F8 Ultra globally with HyperOS 3 based on Android 16 pre-installed out of the box. Now, the company has started rolling out the first post-launch software update for the device, focusing on improved security, battery efficiency, and camera performance.
This early update shows POCO’s commitment to delivering fast software support for its new flagship device. The rollout has currently begun in Europe and is being released in a limited phase.
POCO F8 Ultra First HyperOS 3 Update Details (Europe)
The first HyperOS 3 update for the POCO F8 Ultra is now live in the European region with the following build:
- Version: 3.0.4.0.WPMEUXM
- Update Size: 1.6GB
- Release Type: Partial Release
Since this is a partial rollout, only a limited number of users will receive the update initially. If no major issues are reported, POCO is expected to expand the update to more users across Europe and later to other regions.
What Improvements Does This Update Bring?
Although this is a relatively small update compared to a full system upgrade, it focuses on critical areas that directly impact daily phone usage. According to early changelog details, this update delivers:
- Improved system security with the latest protection enhancements
- Optimized battery performance for longer screen-on time
- Enhanced camera stability and image processing
- Refined system smoothness for better overall performance
- Minor bug fixes and stability improvements
Since the POCO F8 Ultra already runs HyperOS 3 out of the box, this update mainly works as a polishing patch, fine-tuning key system components to offer a smoother and more reliable experience.
What POCO F8 Ultra Users Should Do
If you own the POCO F8 Ultra in Europe, you can manually check for the update by going to Settings > About Phone > System Update. Before installing, make sure that:
- Your battery level is above 50 percent
- You have at least 3GB of free storage
- Your data is backed up as a precaution
As this is a staged rollout, the update may take a few days to reach all eligible users.
With the POCO F8 Ultra receiving its first HyperOS 3 update so soon after launch, POCO is clearly prioritizing software stability and performance optimization. Improvements in battery efficiency, camera performance, and security are especially important for a flagship-level device, and this update sets a positive tone for future software support.
